  • Talk to them about other things besides school, relate things you talk about in class to topics outside of school.
  • Students enjoy being talked to after class about things they did well and how well they focused in class. These students love to feel like they relate to the teacher on a personal level.
How students connect with students
  • Students with disabilities work in group projects but the groups will remain the same through the entire lesson. 
  • These students will also be able to work one-on-one throughout the year.

Tactic 2: At the end of games played in class, each student will get a small piece of candy as a reward.
Tactic 3: When doing in class reviews, students will play games such as kahoot and trash can ball and any other games that the teacher comes up with. ]]> 2019-04-22 18:29:49 UTC https://padlet.com/katibaxter18/fou220ucor3j/wish/353146343 Methods katibaxter18 https://padlet.com/katibaxter18/fou220ucor3j/wish/353146402 Math:
  • Allow students to use “cheat sheets” or notes they have taken throughout classes. 
  • Provide samples of problems that may be more difficult than another one and allow students to use these samples as a point of reference when working.
Language Arts:
  • Begin each lesson or project with some simple notes and then let students to review them as much as they can together.
  • Some projects or lessons may be long and lengthy, so you could break it down into littler steps so students can understand the full concept. 
Science:
  • Give each student a worksheet or “cheat sheet” that allows them to still work by themself but still feel like they have help along the way. 
Social Studies:
  • Use the idea of acting out a scene to get students to understand the difference between what they learn and real life experiences. Each scence should only be about 5 minutes long. As long as it gets the point across.
  • Teach students how to take notes in an orderly fashion instead of just writing them down however. Maybe a graphic organizer or bullet points. Put a star next to more important or difficult things so they can come back to them.

  • Copy down each problem one by one slowly to make sure you get everything. Each step is numbered with the correct number. 
  • Double check to make sure everything is correct. Space out each step to make sure you see mistakes or have paraprofessional right it out big and bold. 
Language Arts: 
  • Look over questions maybe only 4-5 at a time and focus on the easier ones first. Once you have done those, move to the harder ones and ask for help if needed. 
  • Let your paraprofessional know if you need help. 
Social Studies: 
  • Have your paraprofessional look at the questions, and allow some time to look at the easier questions and put a star next to the harder ones. 
  • Take a look at the questions and see which ones are hard/easy for you then ask for help if needed. 
Science: 
  • Music, music, music. Music is always helpful for memorizing or remembering things. Pick classical music to keep calm and makes it better to study or do your work. 
  • Maybe you need something read to you, that is okay too. Separate students that may need questions read out loud to them so it doesn’t distract the other students.
