38. How to Create an Effective Special Ed Schedule..even virtually!

Does creating a schedule for your self-contained SPED classroom seem like a puzzle that can’t be solved? Every time you think you’ve got it, you realize you’re missing a piece or you suddenly find an extra piece with no space left to fit it into the big picture. 

 

Today, I’m thrilled to have Lisa Hollady of Chalkboard SuperHero joining me on the podcast. Her scheduling skills are pretty legendary and she’s sharing tips and strategies to help us gain some scheduling superpowers of our own. Lisa also shared her philosophy on center-based instruction in SPED classrooms and what she considers MUST-HAVE skills before students reach high school. I learned so much and took pages of notes during our conversation. I know you’ll find this super valuable as well.

 

In this episode you will learn:

• Why traditional scheduling tools don’t work for SPED teachers 
• The steps to creating a schedule that works for you and your students 
• Why a center-based instruction structure meets students’ needs better 
• The #1 center type for SPED students from pre-school through high school
