High school special class (self-contained) teachers: What do you use for planning? I’ve always been an inclusive teacher, so I followed the plan book of my co-teacher. I can’t even decide if I should go digital or paper-based let alone make a final decision! I’ll be teaching 9-11th grade math and 11th grade science. The 11th grade classes I can very much do whatever I (or the student) want/need…there isn’t a set curriculum

I have been in that position....where I was suddenly moved to self contained adaptive ed class. First I looked at their IEP. Then I gave my students a Brigance test to see where their strengths and weaknesses were.
My TEKS had to be on grade level, but I would go down to where that student is in objectives. What does this student need to know before he can achieve that grade level TEK?
We had a digital curriculum, but some students did better with paper and pencil. Use whatever you can find. I used Super Teacher Worksheets and I printed from the digital curriculum. Good Luck! It's a lot of work, but it is very rewarding.

I teach resource science and math. I too follow IEPs, but also diploma bound curriculum. I have put together my own classes as I am the only special Ed science teacher and I get the lowest students for pre- algebra. My students prefer paper pencil and frankly so do I for them . I get much more work out of the with paper pencil.

Google calendar. As a science teacher I would recommend meeting with the core teacher and narrowing down the scope of the course, if you haven't already, to just the core essentials and experiences.

EDIT: I’m asking about actual plan books…not curriculum…sorry for the confusion!

Find something that fits your situation. I developed my own spreadsheet using excel.

I find that paper/pencil works well and then I use a different colored pen if I decided to make last minute changes so I can go back and hopefully follow my train of thought for the next year.

Good luck and enjoy!!!!!
