Mein Geld einsetzen, wo mein Mund ist

I’ve written and spoken a lot about the link between undesired behaviors and classwork that is too difficult for students. I’ve been following my convictions about this for the past year and am pleased to announce that I have opened a sister store on Teachers Pay Teachers, Universell gestaltet. Im Augenblick, my focus is on reworking […]

Universell gestaltet: Demnächst!

Ich arbeite seit Januar an einer neuen Produktlinie, die ich hoffentlich diesen Sommer für einen Soft-Launch herausbringen kann. Nachdem ich festgestellt habe, dass es SEHR wenige niedrigere Lexile-Versionen von Texten in den am häufigsten verwendeten Literaturbüchern an meiner High School gibt (und noch WENIGER, die tatsächlich ansprechend und von guter Qualität waren), […]

Kostenlose Lektion: Vor- und Nachteile von Diashow-Vorlagen zur Arbeitsplatzpflege

Meine Schüler konzentrieren sich bis Ende März auf alles, was mit der Arbeit zu tun hat. Wir hatten gestern im Unterricht einige Diskussionen über Fähigkeiten, die wir unbedingt ansprechen wollten, und Studenten und Kadetten wollten sicher sein, dass wir über ein professionelles Aussehen sprachen (gute Pflege) am Arbeitsplatz. I see lots of teachers assigning […]

Brand New E2E Game Available on TpT!

I wrote a new game! E2E Awk-Words on TeachersPayTeachers I have seriously been trying to think of a good game to call Awk-Words for the past two years. This is the culmination of a dream. E2E Awk-Words is a printable card game that will encourage students to roleplay and discuss normative (and not-normative) responses to common […]

Stepping Away

I’ve been avoiding writing a blog entry for a while now. Ganz ehrlich? It’s because I wasn’t sure what to say. I have stepped away from behavior. That’s right, I applied for an in-district transfer last year, left the program for EBD I helped to start, und (for the first time in more than 13 years) […]

All-New Game: E2E Hol meine Ziege

I’ve written my first game specifically designed with my current class of functional high school students in mind. I feel relieved to have revived my lesson-planning mojo. The vibe of a functional class is SO DIFFERENT from the high functioning kids with EBD and ASD I’ve taught for so many years. I’m astonished by the […]

The Dumbest Kid in Class, Teil 2: Teacher Tips

After the first post, you may be thinking that the Exeter Math Institute Workshop was terrible and that the instructors were awful. That’s not the case, at all. I got some really cool ideas to share with my gen ed Algebra co-teachers when school starts that I think will benefit students. Naturally, my key focus […]

The Dumbest Kid in Class, Teil 1: When You Find Out You’re Dumb

This week, I attended the Exeter Math Institute teacher training program. It was four, 8-hour days of working math problems. Hard math problems. Math problems that require prior knowledge and understanding of how to use a calculator that did not come from Dollar Tree. I will unabashedly admit that, hands-down, I was THE DUMBEST person […]
