Hi!  I teach middle school special education.  I was wondering how you work with kids who can't read when you are supposed to be teaching them grade level content?  Listening comprehension is one thing but what about basic skills?  Do we let these slide?  Any comments?

Hello Members,

I am a cross-cat teacher and am trying to develop ideas for both push-in and full time classroom setting. My grades are k-6 in one classroom. It gets challenging teaching such a large gap group at the same idea. Any ideas? Right  now, I use small group, guided reading, and center activities while I work with the other grades. But, the social setting can become challenging.

Hey Brittany,

I have taught special ed. for 11 years, mainly with the severe to profound population. My best advice is to be flexible. No two days in my class are the same. You need to always have a plan "B". Keep your expectations high for your students. And....HAVE FUN!
