For Any Grade Special Education Resources

Teachers can utilize these resources to teach students how to self-regulate their emotions and request a break if necessary. Directions and tips are included on the second page of the PDF, but I encourage you to check out my blog post here highlighting how I use these in my classroom.

This bulletin board decoration will help students remember that they are in control of themselves: they control their actions, their words, their effort... And in doing so, they can make smart choices to reach their full potential. Product includes

-six paper airplanes

-globe template with instructions to print as a 16x20 poster

-Letters and question mark to spell "What can you control?"

-Sample layout (with a different globe)

If you are looking for a way to make sure your students' families have all of the important information they need- from ways to contact you to the school to important dates. There's even a page where you can add a picture of your school/district calendar!

Contains editable pages for school contact, teacher contact, dates to know, and school calendar. The "Dates to Know' comes pre-designed for a special education teacher, but there is a blank "Dates to Know" page if you do not need IEP information.

Prints in black and white so you can use colorful paper to save ink (if you desire).

Check out the video preview to see it in action.

Use this as a quick way to review frequently used special education terms and acronyms. For a more in-depth look at each term, download my e-book Special Education Terms Made Simple available here.

Use this simple survey to discover what your students preferred reinforcements are for encouraging positive behavior, to use as rewards, etc.

Message 2: As a parent, I know your child is your world! Let this key chain be a reminder that we are a team, and i want the best for your student- just like you do! with your help and involvement, I know this school year is going to be amazing, And I look forward to what we will accomplish!

This gift idea is perfect for the beginning of the school year to let parents know you are a team and you value their input. It can also be given at IEP meetings.

Students can complete this behavior tracker to show how well they were able to:

Follow directions

Participate

Have a positive attitude

Stay on task

Complete work

I added room for the teacher to write in how many (if any) prompts are acceptable to follow directions and stay on task. I also left room for a percentage of work that should be completed. I know often my special education students struggle to complete assignments due to lack of focus, etc. So I might put that one student needs to complete 70% of his assignment and then gradually increase it. There is space for that to be written in in the chart.

Students can choose a big smiley face, a small smiling face, and a frowning face to show how well they were able to maintain the directives. At the bottom there is room for teacher signature and comments. At the top, the student has space to write what assignment he or she is assessing.

Two sheets print per page to save paper.

This packet contains:

Data collection charts:

• Reading
• Math
• Language
• Functional
• Behavior
• Speech
• Social Skills

Cover sheet for pre-assessments

Parent and teacher input survey for IEP Development.

"Goal Master" certificate to hand out when students master a goal (print on colored card stock for more fun).

Post-it/sticky note template for accommodation checklists to easily track what accommodations are made on which assessments.

IEP at-a-glance form

Use this sheet to be able to quickly view a student's IEP information, such as accommodations, services, minutes, interests, and of course goals. Think of this as your IEP cheat sheet. Pass it out to the students' homeroom teachers so they can have all of the information in an easy-to-read format. The headings are centered in the boxes so when you enter the student's information, the text remains centered for a uniform look

Use these passports to learn a little more about your students.

As a special education teacher, I use these to communicate with the general education teachers about what accommodations were given on which assessments. The post-it template allows me to print directly on to a post-it note to make it even more quick and convenient. Print a template, cover the squares with post-its, and place the paper back into the printer. The direction of the paper will vary based on the model of the printer, but for me, I put them in upside down and facing backwards.

This ultimate guide to accommodations is perfect for planning out your lessons like a pro. There are ideas for accommodations for 9 high-to-mid incidence disabilities that you might find in your general education classroom. If you're looking to make more of an impact in your lesson plans, then this is exactly what you need.

What's included?

• Functional definitions for 9 disabilities that you might find in your general education classrooms, including:

1. ADHD
2. Autism
3. Deaf or Hearing Impairment
4. Dyscalculia
5. Dysgraphia
6. Dyslexia
7. Emotional Disability
8. Speech or Language Impairment
9. Visual Impairment

• Suggested accommodations for each of the 9 disabilities discussed
• A printable "accommodations checklist" with common accommodations for a variety of needs

Why do you need this?

Because you are a teacher who knows your students need more to be successful and you want to provide that for them. Because you know students aren't cookie cutter, and you want to make sure each receives what they need. Because you are looking to grow as a teacher and make your classroom more inclusive for your students with disabilities.

Use this parent input survey to get to know your students from their parents' or guardians' perspectives. Use the information from these questions to help create IEP goals and incorporate them into IEP meetings. The graphics tie in with my "Meet the Teacher" letter, also available on TeachShare. This letter prints in black and white to save ink. Pass these out at Meet the Teacher Day or Open House. Or send them home before the IEP meeting. Questions included tie into questions from the Alabama State Department of Education but can be used by teachers in any location.

This is included in my Survey Bundle available here.

Keep this quick reference guide for classroom behavior management strategies and interventions handy for when difficult behaviors arise in the classroom.

Print the Classroom Behavior Management Strategies and Interventions Quick Reference Guide on cardstock (laminate if preferred) and punch a hole in the top left corner. Use a binder ring to secure the pages together.

Use page 1 of quick reference guide as a way to determine an idea of the function of your student’s behavior. The box with the greatest number of checks should be considered as a possible function of the behavior. NOTE: THIS QUICK REFERENCE DOES NOT AND SHOULD NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF A FUNCTIONAL BEHAVIOR ASSESSMENT FOR SIGNIFICANT BEHAVIORS.

After determining a possible function, flip to the page of the book for that function to see a list of behavioral strategies to alleviate the negative behavior. Behavioral interventions are also suggested by function. NOTE: THESE STRATEGIES AND IDEAS FOR INTERVENTION DO NOT AND SHOULD NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF A BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION PLAN.

Use these certificates to celebrate when an IEP goal has been met! Students will be excited to receive an award for their hard work, and parents, guardians, and gen ed teachers will know the goal has been met. Includes a place to write which goal has been mastered. Prints as a 5x7, so two print per page. Use colorful cardstock to make it pop!

Looking for a way to learn the function of a student's behavior? I've got you covered with this Behavior Data Collection Sheet. This can be used as part of an official functional behavior analysis or as a way to learn how your students communicate their needs.

What's Included?

• A one-page guide to collecting ABC data (antecedent, behavior, consequence) to determine a hypothesis as to the function of a student's behavior.
• ABC Data collection page (printable)

Why do you need this?

There is a student in your classroom who struggles to express their wants or needs in an appropriate way. You want to alleviate the problematic behavior by discovering the behavior's function so you can find an alternate replacement behavior that serves the same function in a way that is more appropriate for the classroom.
