SPED Q&A by Brittany Washington https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu Any questions or concerns can be written and answered here! en-us 2018-08-22 23:32:35 UTC 2018-11-15 16:45:11 UTC hello@padlet.com What do I do when my students come in during a lesson? brittany_washington https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/274729682 Have a center set up for them. This center needs to be something they can do independently. If a center is not what you would like, make time for them to come to a small group. They need exposure and some grades in grade level content. ]]> 2018-08-22 23:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/274729682 Who is responsible for our students' grades? brittany_washington https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/274729891 Washington and Webb are responsible for all .8 segments. The general education teacher still needs to have some grades for them in order to know their progress. We work as a team! ]]> 2018-08-22 23:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/274729891 Need resources for our students? brittany_washington https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/274730152 I can try to supply them. Keep in mind, most of these items have been bought by myself and not the county. Jamie may be able to provide some insight on more funds if needed. #wedon'tknowwhatwedon'tknow ]]> 2018-08-22 23:40:11 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/274730152 Do I need to come to the meeting if I only have the child for one class period? brittany_washington https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/274730372 We like for all teachers who have a hand in teaching the child to be present. This goes for ESOL teachers as well. ]]> 2018-08-22 23:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/274730372 What if I have to leave a meeting early? brittany_washington https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/274730467 This is okay, but just know it is harder to get paperwork signed and sent home when we have the parents right in front of us already. ]]> 2018-08-22 23:42:31 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/274730467 Supportive Instruction para? WHO DAT? brittany_washington https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/274730698 Monica Tovar is our supportive instruction para for special education. Y'all... this is a great thing! USE HER! She can be pull a small group, be a center rotation, and/or give ESOL/SPED students their testing accommodations. ]]> 2018-08-22 23:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/274730698 How do I know what goals, objectives, and accommodations a student in my class receives? brittany_washington https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/274730937 I can show you using IC. You all should have access, but there may be a few who we missed. If you come to my room, I will gladly show you! ]]> 2018-08-22 23:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/274730937 What is CPI Training and do I need to acquire a sub? kimberly_marino https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/274738349 2018-08-23 00:41:06 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/274738349 Why do I need to do a DRA on a student who is not in my class for Reading? brittany_washington https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/304625670 Keep in mind, these are students we share. When they are served in SPED they are not just the responsibility of the SPED teacher. The SPED teacher has to conduct weekly progress monitoring on most/if not all of the student's goals. It would be impossible to do a DRA every week. ]]> 2018-11-15 02:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/304625670 What is my responsibility in an IEP meeting? brittany_washington https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/304626244 - Bring anything that represents where the child is at currently in their education. This can be positive or negative, but either way it ultimately helps the team see how the child is performing in all areas. 
- Be an active participant. Do not think that you do not have something to say. Most times, your SPED teacher and the parents appreciate having someone else take the stage for a moment. WE PROMISE! 
- If you suggest goals, know these goals should be obtainable, but are also something the child should be working on all year long (not as flexible as RTI).

This ultimately leads to difficulty in their ability to regroup. 

In reading, I would say there are many gaps. Some of these gaps go as far as knowing vowels vs. consonants. ]]> 2018-11-15 02:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_washington/7mjmavxrdevu/wish/304626897
