I’m finding (as a new teacher) slowly purging my classroom and organizing small corners is making my transition to the end of the year a lot smoother. Any more tips?!

Just the fact that you've started early and feel it taking away some of the stress is amazing!! Good job (:

Starting mid year is a journey all in itself! Next year is going to be much smoother for you (:

With a year or two under your belt, you begin to know what is necessary and what is not. You have to think of what is physically needed in your room... the rest of it can go. Purge faster. When you have more physical space in the room for students to move around and/or create spaces of collaboration then they win. I learned in my first two or three years teaching that no one cares about my "cute" posters or a fancy rug. Space for collaboration and creativity is the move. Good luck!

If you know whether or not you're staying in your room start putting things in bins to store! Idk if your school let's you keep things but my old school used to let us store stuff in the lockers

I’m revising my rules ppt and posters now while it’s all fresh in my mind ! 2nd year....

Without warning it looks like we'll be switching from consultant teaching to inclusion...what do I need to know. Never co-taught or done inclusion except for years and years ago and it was very informal. Best ways to build a solid relationship with the classroom teacher you're paired with? Pitfalls to watch out for? Thanks!

I work with a classroom of Middle School ED students. One student, who I worked with the year before, has changed alot over the year. Last year (pre COVID), she had a good head on her shoulders and I thought I had good rapor with her. But over that period of isolation, she tried to commit suicide.

All year, she was much more withdrawn and ALWAYS on her phone! At the end of the I was 'beat up by her - she really knocked my glasses off.

How should I approach her in the upcoming year?

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example).
