Inclusion.... it really CAN work stupendously. I want to 'brag' about a team member of mine that has been overwhelmingly welcoming to me and who has really been a peach to work with so far. I am learning so much from her and I am loving OUR successes this year. I firmly believe that we have had the successes because we have a clear goal and vision that drives every decision we make and every conversation we have:
we want all kids to grow and to feel success.
I love working with her and OUR kiddos are doing awesome.
On Tuesdays and Fridays, I am in her class with her for the entire 80 minute block with 7th grade. I have five students on IEPs in the class and there are roughly 30 kids in the class. On Tuesdays and Fridays, my Educational Assistant is also in there with us. We devote the majority of those blocks for small group centers/stations to help provide supports for all of the students. We typically have 4 groups and 4 tasks;
general education teacher group: guided practice or mini-lesson on current concept.
educational assistant group: math fluency.
my group: re-teach or extension depending on the specific groups needs.
Independent practice activity: typically an informal assessment so that we can collect data to see what they can do independently.
Things are going swimmingly and we are seeing an improvement with our kiddos engagement and enthusiasm for math class!
