TIPS #2-8
Helping Students with IEPs
Teaching Tips for Helping our Special Education Students:
1) Please make sure that directions are both written as well as verbally given. Students with auditory processing or attention issues need written directions in order to be successful.
2) Use a timer for warm-ups/bell-work, time to get out materials or time to work on a certain assignment. Here is a video for how to add a timer app to your mac: https://youtu.be/Ujx-KvLYmbM
3) Have the materials posted. Students can be prepared when they know what they need for the class period.
4) Have an agenda posted. Students feel safer when they know what is happening and what will be expected of them that day.
5) Try using a To-Do list while students work to keep them on task. (See picture for example)
6) If students are having difficulty following different expectations for different activities, try using the C.H.A.M.P.S. system and posting on the board or screen. Link here: https://www.dailyteachingtools.com/champs-classroom-management.html
7) When you are teaching, make sure students have something to follow along with you (paper or computer ) or they won’t be paying attention to you.
