Teaching Tip #4

Read the IEPs

They will help you understand the students better and will help you adapt your lessons (and seating). If you have opportunities to provide alternative assessments, you will know who will benefit most with certain targets.

For example: If a student is a great artist but bad at writing, have them draw out a variety of scenes to describe how they interpret something.

Or if a student verbalizes well but can't write thoughts down, have them take the test orally with you at the end of the day.  Give them tips on how to write their thoughts.
