• How do you organize and keep track of your classroom and student info? I always create a binder with copies of our schedules, student questionnaires and contact info. I rarely look at it, but it’s easy to grab if I need it & it’s nice to have everything in one location. In other news, I’m debating on changing up my classroom decor next year and considering this theme. 😍😍😍 You can see more on my decor account @missluluclassroomdecor. bit.ly/BBgoldbundle . . . #ITeachToo #ClassroomDecor #ClassroomTheme #TeacherTips #TeachersOfInstagram #ITeachSped #TeacherOrganization #WeTeachSped #SpedClassroom #SpecialEducationTeacher

  • Sometimes I buy things at Target that I have no plans for, like this letter board and these emojis. They both sat around in my classroom for over a year before I created this classroom emotions check in. During our functional skills group, we start by sharing some positive news, either something that’s good that happened, something you’re looking forward to, something you’re grateful for or a success story you want to share. Then, we pick the emoji that best represents our feeling. This is something everyone in my classroom does, staff included! It’s a quick way to check in and focus on some positive things going on our lives. . . . #ITeachSped #WeTeachSped #SpecialEducationTeacher #SpecialEducationClassroom #SpedTeacher #AutismTeacher #SpedTeachersOfInstragram #LifeSkillsTeacher #FunctionalSkills #SocialSkills #SpedClassroom #TeacherGram #SpedTeacherTip #SpedTeacherIdeas

  • It’s been awhile but I finally wrote a new blog post about how I differentiate and assign math centers for independent work in my classroom. The best part? You can use this system with pretty much any subject area. I know, it’s summer and you probably aren’t ready to think about math centers so click the little bookmark button in the bottom right corner and save this post for when you’re in back to school mode. If you want to check it out now, I added the link to my profile! 😘 bit.ly/3foldermathcenters . . . #ITeachSped #WeTeachSped #SpedTeacherHacks #SpedTeacherTips #TeacherTips #AutismTeacher #SpecialEducationTeacher #ClassroomOrganization #MathCenters #IndependentWork #TeacherHacks

  • Whether we go back this fall in person, online or in a hybrid format, we have to be intentional about including each and every student. Here are some things to ask yourself: ▪️Does each student have access to classroom materials? ▪️Does each student have a space in the classroom? Even if they are not in your classroom the whole day? ▪️Is each student represented in my curriculum and my classroom library? ▪️Can each student access online or digital materials if I am using them? ▪️Am I giving each student the opportunity to learn through differentiated materials and effective teaching strategies? ▪️Am I setting high expectations for each student? Am I aware of the biases I may have towards certain students and am I actively working to ensure they are treated equally? ▪️Am I taking responsibility for ensuring that each student is learning the essential parts of my curriculum? How are you including every student? . . . #ITeachSped #WeTeachSped #SpecialEducationTeacher #InclusionMatters #Inclusion #InclusionRevolution #AccessibilityForAll #AccessibilityMatters #SpecialEducationClassroom #ExtendedSchoolYear #SpedTeacher #AutismTeacher #SpedTeachersOfInstragram #ITeachToo #TeacherGram #TeachersFollowTeachers

  • Carpeted walls may not be the cutest part of my classroom theme but they are perfect for all the velcro things in my sped classroom! Way back when I was doing my practicum, I worked with a student (under the direction of an OT) doing a sensory schedule. I created the same type of system in my classroom for my students who needed some extra sensory input. The student picks out 1-2 activities in each sensory area and sets up their schedule. You can set a timer for each activity or let the student decide when to be finished. This is always a favorite station in my classroom! . . . #ITeachSped #WeTeachSped #SpecialEducationTeacher #SpecialEducationClassroom #SpedTeacher #AutismTeacher #SpedTeachersOfInstragram #LifeSkillsTeacher #FunctionalSkills #SensoryInput #SensoryDiet #SensorySchedule #SpedClassroom #VelcroAllTheThings #ITeachSpecialEd
