Teacher Talk with Special Dictation Teacher Michelle! - Student Success Beyond Expectations Ep 55

Email us at [email protected] if you are a teacher and would like an opportunity to be on an episode of, "Teacher Talk." Are you concerned about your students’ behaviors? Is their behavior impacting the IEP goals that you write for next year‘s teacher? Today’s podcast is all about “teacher talk“ with Michelle Macllean who is a veteran special education teacher and parent of a neurodiverse and neurotypical child. She talks about how the IEP process is moving away from goals that represent academic skill building because addressing behavioral needs has taken a priority. For example, task initiation is problematic for many students and lacking the independence of knowing when they are off task is evident in the classroom. Michelle talks to you about how she explicitly teaches the cognitive skills supported by specific visuals to promote student independence and their ability to become aware of when they are not knowing when they are not focused. We hope you enjoyed this candid conversation between two teachers and will contribute by becoming a guest or commenting on this episode! Thank you for all you do!
