Scheduling specials, inclusion, whole group, and individual instruction can be crazy! I have a couple of suggestions for you:<br /><br />Stations. While you're working one-on-one with students, have your para supervise the others rotating through stations. You could use a smart board visual to ensure that everyone is participating in each station. Some can be more academic- work stations for a math worksheet- while others are more functional or fun- fine motor station or leisure (depending on their levels).<br /><br />Small groups. Take advantage of para support and get them to run a small group with you are doing a small group or individual teaching. She can run a fluency group, assist in completing work, run a guided reading group, or supervise an academic game.<br /><br />Independent games. I found several math games last year that my kids could play somewhat independently. It's a great way for them to practice skills, have fun, and stay busy while you work with someone.<br /><br />I hope you can use some of these suggestions. Feel free to email me with more questions. I'd love to help more!Ms. Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06359207333847683455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169292702374626483.post-73594102816398530272013-08-10T00:41:40.037-04:002013-08-10T00:41:40.037-04:00First of all I love your blog, there aren't a ...First of all I love your blog, there aren't a lot teachers who blog about special education and I truly feel like you have helped X a million! Thank you for posting all of this great information. :) <br />I have a question I was hoping you could help me with: <br /> I am a specialized support/ALE/Self Contained teacher. I am struggling and struggled last year, my first year with making an effective schedule within my classroom. I have all students attending at least inclusion one subject, specials and recess. Last year I pulled and worked with each student through out the day either small group or one on one in each subject area. While I was working with students then the other students I wasn't working with would be on break, inclusion or independent work. I just felt like this wasn't consistent and students breaks would go over the amount of time and it wasn't efficient. We do whole group for calendar/social studies/science. <br />Is there anyway you can help me? If not I know that is a HUGE long question. Thank you so very much!! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
