I saw that some teachers make nice, beautiful, fluffy clouds to cover some of those bright and harsh LEDs that are all in schools now. I was thinking of doing the same thing for my speech room. Has anyone done this, and does it help your students?

I bought mine on amazon- to comply with fire codes.

Good idea. I didn't think about fire codes... good thing I have all of you smarties helping me out 😜

I’ve seen those cloud covers, and they can definitely help soften the light! I think they could work really well in a speech room, especially for students who are sensitive to bright lights. Plus, it adds a nice calming touch to the space. Definitely worth trying, I wish I had the energy or money right now but maybe next year lol! Let me know how it goes!

I had the same thoughts... might be a little more therapeutic! Will do, thanks 😊

I use them in my Title Reading room and also in the SpEd room. They completely help. Our kids feel more comfortable and aren't trying to put a shadow over their work. We also have quiet spa music playing in the background, which also helps our kids to feel calm and able to work better.

I purchased mine from Amazon. They are fire rated for safety, which is the reason I chose to purchase rather than make the covers.

Sending good vibes your way
🍀☮️🙏✌️😇🍀

It is perfect lighting! 💡
The kids love it, and when it's still dark outside, it's not blindingly bright. The picture posted was taken in the early morning darkness. I start at 7 am, and my first group is at 8. So the lights have to be on. My students love reading under the "Galaxy Stars" because in outer space, they're super smart! 📚
I'm a title reading teacher, I see about 12 small groups daily. Lighting is super important.

There are some light covers like a film that just cling to the panel that have beautiful designs and don't collect dust.

The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

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 feel like I'm at my wits end. I teach self-contained classes and according to the ISBE website my classes shouldn't be more than 8 students unless I have an aide - then it can be 10. I have no aide and most of my classes are around 14 kids. Some with behavior plans that are only out of our behavior room setting for my class... Is anybody else out there going through illegal class sizes for self-contained? How are you dealing? Maybe a vent session is in order.

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
