As a SPED teacher, your list of have-to-dos, want-to-dos, and wish-I-could-dos is a mile long at the start of every day. Even if getting to the end of that list is nothing more than a dream, there are ways to get more done. Ways to be more effective and productive as you manage your classroom.
My good friend Sofie from Where I-Aut-a Be will be with us today, sharing her pro tips on building rapport with parents, data collection, and the importance of seeking out a mentor. She also shares with us her favorite resources for symbols that she uses in the classroom - and why she loves them so.
From this episode, you’ll discover - or rediscover - why it’s so important for SPED teachers to have a team around to support them. A team made up of parents, admin, mentors, paras, and more. Make sure you’re building your team!
In this episode you will learn:
