I have one student who requires 1:1 teaching and assistance all times of the day, so when one of us is out it is usually a difficult day, but we do survive! We rarely get a substitute, but we really do know how to make it work.<br /><br />I stock all of my centers with a stack of mastered tasks. Any time an IA is out I usually pull those out and offer my students extra incentive for working appropriately. I have also had days where I will bring out HWOT cards and play dough for students to make letters.<br /><br /><a href="http://youaut-aknow.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">You Aut-a Know</a>Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01600095594701462004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312610814517657114.post-28051680840324072062014-06-06T03:10:23.842-07:002014-06-06T03:10:23.842-07:00I feel your pain...!!
I work with teenagers with...I feel your pain...!! <br /><br />I work with teenagers with autism and severe challenging behaviour and as a result I have 6 students who between them are meant to have 8 (yes EIGHT) staff - but before that sounds too good, bear in mind that these 8 are from a selection of 150 depending on shift rotation as we are a residential school, meaning someone could work in my classroom on the 1st of the month, and not be back in again until the following month.. so it is like having substitute "aides" every single day!<br /><br />I was wondering - could you do a post on how your station is structure and what is in the file (the one organised by day of the week) about this bit: "I have posted visuals at the stations, binders that have sections of work labeled with days of the week, etc." <br /><br />Thank you for your posts as ever - your blog is one of 2 which have kept me afloat during my first year teaching in an Autism classroom!! :)Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10116540830048804045noreply@blogger.com
