As I start my 2nd first day of school, I still feel like a kid. But as a teacher, it is a different feeling completely! I think about how we will need to keep everyone safe and that as a Special Education teacher, I need to make sure I am following IEPs and students supports and service hours. I have so many ideas running through my head. I know one for sure is that I will be using an IEP snapshot that I found on Teachers Pay Teachers. They way I handled was I printed them off and asked the teachers of my students which one they liked the most. Then from there I will fill it in. In addition to that, I will also attach the legal documents and have the teachers sign off on the information. I still have to follow up and look at some IEPs myself to understand the information.
In addition, we have a new principal and a new assistant principal. I think that this will be good for my school. To have fresh eyes and everything and have everything clearly stated. Might have some hurdles and some challenging moments to get through this school year, but I believe that we will have a tight ship and believe that it will be for the best!
We will see how the first day of school goes on Monday!
I will be starting my Ed.S. program in Special Education August 25th. I hope that it won't be more work than I am expecting. I know it might be hard, but I am not sure how hard it will be. I guess I will find out in a couple of weeks.
Until next time!
