I am so excited to be participating the Special Education Summer Blog Hop hosted by Kyle from kinderspedadventures.blogspot.
This week is all about schedules! Making schedules for my staff and students is one of those tedious tasks that I have a love/hate relationship with. I have to revise them many times throughout the year as students transition in and out of the classroom and based on their needs, so it feels like I am always adjusting schedules! If you are looking for more information on visual schedules, you read my this post from series on structured learning.
Once they are made – the schedules make my life SO MUCH EASIER. My staff know where they are supposed to be and I know where my students are at every minute. I can make sure that all of my students’ IEP goals are met and they are busy bees all day. That being said – making them can be a kinda of a pain in the but. But, I promise you it’s worth it. A detailed staff schedule and student schedule are a MUST. Take a look at my tentative schedules for September.
I made these in Word and took screenshots of them, so they are a bit blurry. If you want like to see them in more detail, you can download the student schedule here and staff schedule here. I try to make my schedule so that each staff member works with each student throughout the day. I do this for two reasons: #1 to ensure generalization across people and #2 to prevent staff burnout. Having one staff member work with the same student all day long can be exhausting, especially if it's a student who has a lot of behavioural challenges.
How do you schedule your day? I'd love to hear from you! Leave me a comment below!

I am in complete agreement with you on having each assistant work with each child throughout the day. I am implementing that this year. I had one assistant last year and then that turned into two assistants and you can just tell that after a while the adult/student relationship just needs a little break. It sure does help the student become less dependent on the same adult day in and day out!

Thank you for sharing your scheduling process. I always aim to generalize student behavior. I'm hoping that having consistent staff in my classroom will be helpful this year!

You AUT-a Know
Oooh! I like how you make your teacher/assistant schedule and during group times, one para is prompting/reinforcing and the other is taking data! I am good with taking data during 1:1, but trying to incorporate data collection otherwise is a mess! This should help. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI love the differentiation and specification of jobs for each staff member! I totally agree with you about not assigning someone to the same student all day! What a cool post!

Well everyone already took my comment so now I feel silly...haha...but I completely agree that changing the para and student combination is important. One summer, I worked as an aid in a Pre-k - 2nd class and we rotated each week. It became a lot...so I like that you rotate more frequently. In my class now I just have one other aid...so we just have to bounce around just the two of us. Glad I found your blog through this hop!

I too have scheduled my para professionals so they work with all the students. I have always felt that is the best way for all of us to know the best ways to work with the kids. Awesome post! Just hopping through everyone's posts.

ReplyDeleteEnjoying a part-time job while in college is something many people do not get the chance to experience. So many people hate their jobs and dread getting up every morning to go to work and put in another day's work. If a student can find an engaging and exciting job that allows them freedom to work around their schedule and to grow as young men and women at the same time, they should grab it as soon as they can.

ReplyDeleteWhat then does it mean to be an educator? Does it signify something different than the assigned job title? What I have learned through my work in higher education is that becoming an educator is not an automatic process. Everyone who is teaching adult students is not functioning as an engaging and highly effective educator. However, it is possible to learn how to educate rather than teach and that requires making a commitment to the profession. professional cv writing

ReplyDeleteThe formal education system in the U.S. was designed to meet the demands of the industrial revolution by providing basic education to the masses. Pretty simple right? So why is it that we fail to recognize or refuse to acknowledge that the demands are different today? There has not been a calculable redefinition or evolution of the educational system since. This is scary as it will define the failure of our country step-by-step and bit-by-bit until we are reduced to a social collection of ignorance. pay for essay online
