Two Minute Tuesday- March Edition

Hi everyone! Happy spring!? On the first day of my spring break, we got 10 inches of snow. 😳 It's finally kind of melting but March in Wisconsin is wild. Let's get into it for the month! It's officially IEP season which means my calendar is full and my paperwork pile is overflowing. That leads me to the quick tip of the month: IEP scheduling At the beginning of each school year, I like to plot out my IEP due dates on my calendar, then I back date by one month (i.e. if the IEP end date is in...

What’s up everyone! Happy February! Welcome to the first edition of the new Two Minute Tuesday. This month I will be sharing: -a quick tip -a recent win -a secret sale -a new offer Here we go! Quick tip of the month: functional goal writing. As a brand new teacher, I used to focus a lot on trying to get students to do what we want them to do (compliance based). Now I write goals to help students use the skills they have (and teach them new ones) to meet their needs in a functional way. I...

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you are enjoying your winter break and your time off. The final Two Minute Tuesday of 2022 is all about taking time to rest. You have no obligation to do any work over your break from school. Absolutely none. Put the laptop down and enjoy time with your friends, family, pets, whoever. This week, I am doing no paperwork, no emails, nothing. I have an IEP two days after we get back from break but guess what, anything that's not done, will get done next week. So...

What's up everyone! This is somehow the longest and shortest week ever. The kids are off the walls, my daughter has been fighting bedtime until 11pm nightly and I'm beat. SOOO that's why this tip is coming to ya super late in the week. This week's tip is something super practical and some of the best advice I ever got as a first year special education teacher. It sounds super simple but in reality, it takes a lot of practice. The paperwork will be there tomorrow. That's it. Leave the...

Welcome back to Two Minute Tuesday! This week I'll be sharing all about building relationships with students mid-year. When new students qualify, students move in, teachers move districts, etc. there may be a need to foster new relationships with students. Here are a couple of my favorite super quick strategies. 2x10- spend 2 minutes for 10 days in a row talking with the student solely about things they like, not academic work, not about school, just things they like. This helps you get to...

What's up everyone?! It's been a hot minute since I sent an email so I figured I would jump into your inbox, give you an update, and tell you where to find me. Long story short, I quit my job and found a new job in a closer district. It's been a whirlwind but basically I was put in a toxic environment and because I stood up for myself, the situation only got worse. So now that that's over, I can finally breathe. Anywhooo, I've been adding tons of time savers over on Patreon so if you are...
