Special Education Special Education IEPs and Forms Lesson Plans Behavior Management From Jerry Webster, your Guide to Special Education I was asked this week to help a neophyte (actually, a gym teacher) to start out the year at a neighboring middle school in an autism classroom. When I sent links to some of my articles, I realized that one of my strengths as the special education guide is I actually teach for my living. I decided to share with you the decisions I am making about my own classroom in the next two weeks, as we start school. As the year goes on, I will share my course corrections. A master teacher knows when to change course. What I Do - Routines I start my back to school blogs on "What I Do," with routines, the backbone of a well run, efficient classroom. Join Me On Facebook I have an About Special Education Facebook page to keep you informed of new materials, tips or trends that I report either through my blog or through my articles.
