The major need I have in my classroom is organization. I feel as thought I have 10 different jobs to do and I'm simply trying to put out small fires so that I can make it through my day. I want to have something set in place that I can have lesson plans for my EI program, schedules for my day as well as my 2 aides and 2 full pull out students, ideas for push in classes, and assistive technology ready to use in the classroom.
As far as the lesson plans for the EI program, I am going to start by looking in the books I have in my classroom, along with my online resources. I am going to make a main copy of every lesson I feel would be good to use in my program. I will then group them by subject. I will then come up with a curriculum timeline of how long I would like to work on what subject and what order I should work with them. I will then come up with dates for when I will work with them. I would like to get all of this done by 11/22/10.
I would like to scan the lessons into the computer so that they are ready to use on the SMARTBoard at any time in the curriculum. They will then again be organized on the computer. This I would like to be done by 12/6/10.
When I am done with this curriculum, I would like to pick out what lessons would be good to use in the push in setting, and also find other push in lessons to use in the classrooms. This needs to be done so that my students in the special education program along with the students in the general education setting can learn how to deal with their emotions. I would like this done by 1/21/11.
I would like to make a master schedule for what my students are doing when. I have schedules for each myself and my 2 aides, however I feel that we are missing a lot working our days the way we are. I would like to have a master schedule in the room and also schedules for each of us to carry them around with us so that we know what is going on. I would like to create individual schedules for each of us and then a master to use in the classroom. I would like this done by 11/19/10.
I need to find more assistive technologies to use in my classroom. I am having difficulties finding technology programs to help teach earlier reading skills to higher grade levels. I am also finding it hard to know where to look to find activities to use on the SMARTBoard. I plan to keep a list of programs and assistive technologies on my delicious page. I am currently looking, and will always look, but hope to have a good amount of sources by 12/17/10.
If you have any ideas, or help that you can think of, please let me know! Thank you for your time!
Your plan fits your educational need. Every teacher needs to be organized if the class time is to be best utilized. Using the smart board for lessons should be very beneficial. I look forward to hearing more on what you find.
