My original thoughts and plans for teaching have for the most part, gone out the window. Now, I have a better understanding of my students needs and abilities and can plan my lessons and units more accordingly. This is definitely going to be an interesting year and a fantastic learning opportunity for me. I am excited!
I'm quite sure what I was expecting as my first week as a special needs educator but I was NOT really prepared for the realities of my students. Many of my students are non-communicative, with several of them using a communication devices or only gestures to communicate their needs. At the academic level most were at about a pre-school level as well as globally functioning at a pre-school level, with all being in the Grade 2-3 age range.
