The Opportunity Desk! I have an extra computer and desk in my classroom. I have dubbed it the Opportunity Desk. It can be used if a student just needs to chill out of they need to modify their behavior. A student can ask to sit there or I can send a student to it if their behavior gets out of hand. Other students don't know the reason he/she is there. If I send them they have 10 minutes and must complete a reflection form. Do you use anything like this in your classroom management?

We can’t have classroom management without taking care of ourselves first. Rest. Even if it’s for 2 minutes. We close our eyes and reset.

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?
