#5: Greasing the Wheels (Sucking Up to Your Colleagues)

Сообщение от июнь 20, 2016 Без

***This is the fifth blog post in a continuing series detailing the launch of a new district EBD center housed inside a traditional high school. I know you may find this difficult to believe, but my colleagues are feeling some trepidation about the 17 children with severe behavior problems coming to their school in August. I know. […]

#4 The (Надзор) Матрица «Есть разница между знанием пути и прохождением пути. “

Сообщение от июнь 13, 2016 Без

***This is the fourth blog post in a continuing series detailing the launch of a new district EBD center housed inside a traditional high school. Yep. I just quoted The Matrix. Because–Lord knows–engaging in this line of work will, most surely, open your eyes to all sorts of alternate realities. We may be at school, but it’s a […]

#3: Бог в деталях (то есть. “Куры продолжают клевать”)

Сообщение от май 31, 2016 Семьи

***Это третья запись в продолжающейся серии, в которой подробно рассказывается об открытии нового районного центра EBD, расположенного в традиционной средней школе.. Теперь, когда “обычный” учебный год закончился, Дженни и я в гуще подготовки к новой программе. Я думал, что меня будет тянуть в меньшем количестве направлений. […]

Сообщение от май 16, 2016 Дифференцированные инструкции по обращению с поведением, ИПАЯ, Без

Like a Magnet

Сообщение от Апр 26, 2016 Без

Wherever I go, I am a magnet for quirky people. Statistically, the probability of engaging in an interaction with a person with behavior disorders is pretty good for any individual. Something like 10% of teenagers in America have a conduct disorder. Something like 90% of my outings into the community involve an interaction with a person […]

Behavior Plans Begin At Home

Сообщение от Апр 24, 2016 ИПАЯ, Без

One of the pitfalls of being the “behavior lady” is that everyone (E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E) you know gets put on a behavior plan at some point. And they work even more poorly at home than at work. Right now, I’ve got my longtime partner, George, on a BIP. I have had George on a BIP since I […]

I’m Judging You!

Сообщение от Апр 23, 2016 ИПАЯ

Being the “behavior lady” is a weird job. My contract (and my teensy, weensy, itty, bitty paycheck) says “teacher.” My clipboard and walkie-talkie say “administrator” (Even though I’m not. Серьезно. I have zero power to make any decisions about anything). I’ve been going around doing a LOT of interviews with current case managers and classroom […]
