I want to plan more for IEPs, and to be able to get a good draft in ahead of time so there can be more discussion about it with my related services and TOSA before the meeting. I also want to get more trials done with students with new goals ahead of time. I also want to hold more meetings with my team to get people on the same page.

It took me a while to figure out what systems worked for me. I tried to step into someone else's but in the end that was just more frustrating and overwhelming. I learned to lift the parts that made sense and then added my own stuff ex: paper checklists and stickys, vs. a google doc for tracking. When I found what I could actually use most consistently, I stopped missing deadlines or missing parts of IEP steps.

I would want to over the summer get more familiar with the AAC softwares so I can support my students more efficiently. I would also like to take online classes to continue learning how to speak using ASL.

Previously to this year, I had not written an IEP but now I feel more confident in interpreting data and making goals for students. I have grown in my ability to ask for help when I need it.

Now that I have learned some basic steps I can be more proactive in the future. I know when and what type of assessments to use at the beginning and middle of the year. I know more about how to connect my learning units through the year.

I'm much better at rolling with the punches (not literally) and having a "can-do" attitude no matter what.  Some things are gonna go great. Some things are gonna go wrong.  I'm better able to keep moving forward and doing my best with bad situations.

I have academic data that I could only dream about last year. It takes daily effort to do this. It has given me much more measurable understanding of what a student can do and what their needs may be. Paul

I grew a lot this year in terms of managing 6 students schedules as well as staff schedules this year. I was able to adjust the schedule based on student and staff needs and it was really useful and is something I will definitely continue to grow at in the following years.

I learned that just because something may have worked before, doesn't always mean it will work tomorrow. Basically, I learned that it is okay to not be married to one particular thing and to tweak things to make them better.

Managing your team of adult staff is one of the biggest parts of your job. Clear communication, expectations and working as a team is so important.

I was entirely new to writing IEP's.  I think the most important thing I learned this year was WHO the resources are in my building, and how I can use them to become the best educator I can.

Growth was exponential in every area cause of my starting point. And it was great to have the ability to grow with a great support from these trainings and the individuals that represented the team already on site.

As my first year, I can't expect things to go as they have always gone in past years. Don't expect too much of other staff. Don't expect too little.  That's not fair to them.  Set clear expectations, and then give them time and space to take ownership of it.

I learned how to plan for a best case scenario and worse case scenario, and to not let a bad staffing day/bad day for other extenuating circumstances get in the way of my sense of purpose. Because there are many days like this and if every one of those days becomes a wash, what’s the point?

I learned the importance of understanding behavior and how behaviors will often arise when students do not understand something. It is important to give students a lot of time, help and explicit instruction when learning a new skill -- and if they are not getting it, take a step back and meet them where they are at.

This year something really helpful to new teachers is being flexible. Expecting change is a big part of this job, so being able to all be flexible early on was a great way to prepare for the rest of the year. Being flexible allowed students in our classroom to get used to change, as it is a big part of life.

I had 'ZERO' understanding of what I was stepping into or what to expect so I knew very little to nothing.  Thinking from the angle of being ON the SPED team not simply interacting with the team
