How to address needs of special needs students during regular class time?

When and how to intervene classroom disruptions? (during or after class?)]]> 2020-01-14 01:15:49 UTC https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG2TMLS01/wish/431096615 Challenges https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG2TMLS01/wish/431096703 How to make History/Mathematics lessons interesting and relevant?

How to ensure a good pacing of lessons for different group of students (mixed abilities, LA, HA, MA)? 

How should Differentiated Instruction be carried out for different ability groups in the same classroom (without introducing inferiority)?]]> 2020-01-14 01:16:14 UTC https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG2TMLS01/wish/431096703 Difficulty in managing classroom due to: https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG2TMLS01/wish/431096770 Soft voice and not very authoritative - learning to be confident in managing the class + importance of developing a good TSR built on care and trust, such that students will listen to you - referent authority base, but this may not always be the best (?) because not every student may like you as a teacher. Possible solution - use a mic? But there are some implications associated with using a mic?
