Teachers are among the most creative, determined people in the world. Whether you're in regular or special education, you have probably solved problems the rest of us face all the time. Let's share what we've learned!
Ideas: Have you developed a way to help children over a particular hump or hurdle? Write a short summary of what you do. Be sure to include any needed materials. Give us an estimate of how long it takes to do, what kinds of review is needed later on to keep the skill fresh, etc. If appropriate, tell if you think a parent helper or teacher assistant can use this technique to help a struggling child.
Computers: Teachers are always asking for software recomendations. What have you used, and what do you like about it? Be as specific as possible: does it teach the skill, or provide good review? (If so, how well should the child know the skill before using the software?) What kind of machine do you use it on, and what does it cost? Have you noticed any drawbacks to the program?
Books: Have you found any books that have helped you become a more effective teacher? If you have, the rest of us would like to know about it!
