Look Mom…I’ve been RTI-ed.

I wish I had coined the phrase Response to Intervention at the same moment it was embedding itself into the fabric of the school system. I could have retired early. However, Response to Intervention, or RTI as it is known, is a good thing. First of all from the Parent perspective, we have been doing it from day one. Try a…See More

Einstein didn’t fit in either

I remember when my five year old son came home devastated with a note from the teacher.  He asked me what “tarded” meant. After reading the note and deciphering his five year old jargon, I realized that another child had called him “retarded.” After regaining my composure I grabbed a book I had on the shelf Special Just like Me…See More

Pots and Pans and a Wooden Spoon

A parent was complaining that they had spent all this money on the latest toys and their child was having their own jazz festival, sitting on the kitchen floor, banging all the pots and pans with a wooden spoon. Sometimes, simplicity is better. I have picked up a few advertisements for toys, and maybe I am old fashioned, but everything looks like a gimmicky brand, plastic and easily broken. Sometimes you can find a store with a selection of really nice wooden toys. Takes a bit more time, but…See More

Too Spooky or Not Too Spooky

There are many recommendations from various expertise sources regarding the whole “Spookiness” of October.There are excellent recommendations regarding safe trick or treating, tasteful costumes, and candy/food concerns around celebrating Halloween as well, but as an educator this is how I approach the whole thematic unit.First…See More

Whining ,Winning or Just "Oh Well" or "We’ll See? "

I remember the days of my own children whining and I am reliving each moment 10 times over every day with other people’s children that I teach. My own children learned very quickly that it didn’t get them very far. As they grew older they dreaded the phrase” Oh, well” and “We’ll see?” because it usually meant that whatever they…See More

Autism Awareness in April and Everyday

Posted on April 10, 2013 at 3:00pm 0 Comments

I always find it curious to have special months creating awareness. While I think it is a good idea as a reminder to everyone, I think it also promotes the idea that we only need to concentrate on specific topics at a specific time. That is why I wear an autism wristband every day; have an autism puzzle piece on the…

Test Taking; An Everyday Strategy

Posted on February 17, 2013 at 7:00pm 0 Comments

As teachers we know that test taking is not something you do only on Test day. It is something you prepare for every day. We work on test taking strategies with every task we attempt to do so that hopefully at test time they are intrinsic to how we approach a test.
