Description
We know that setting up a classroom and organizing with intention will help you to get off to a good start. Once it’s organized, it may help you to know which way to proceed with your lessons, groupings and implementation of Individual Education Plans.
Having an effective classroom:
Helps the students because there is less downtime during instruction and there is a focused intention in each activity.
Helps the paraprofessionals since they will know exactly what the expectations are to help the classroom to run well.
Helps the administrators to clearly see the strategies, processes and procedures happening in the classroom.
Helps the teachers to feel more confident and witness success and progress at a faster rate.
We would all love for it to be this easy. Of course, it is not. Anyone in Special Education knows that the paperwork can be tremendous. Additionally, the stress of knowing what to do at each moment when behavior challenges are occurring is huge. We know data collection and tracking progress can be a bummer…unless you are into that and some people might be. Schools don’t always give you the materials that you need. The curriculum in this area of teaching is often lacking and teachers need to make up their own curriculum and lessons for much of the school day. Or, if they do have curriculum it has to be modified so much that it feels like they’re making their own.
That is why setting up your classroom specifically to meet the needs of students with autism is so beneficial.
This course helps you to do these things...
· get your classroom environment ready and prepare yourself to manage a classroom
· understand a bit more about autism

Looking forward to the journey!!!
