A4 communicate when tests are, vocab lists, major topics. Flexibility with assignments, test dates. Accommodated assignments #ksedchat

AmandaBuethe - Moderator Nov 6 @ 9:33 PM EST

I like feedback. If I give a S a test, etc that doesn’t meet needs, let me know! Especially at the beg of year when learning #ksedchat

#ksedchat

eric_falls Nov 6 @ 9:41 PM EST

A5 be explicit with directions and expectations for paras and ss be predictable and have good routines. #ksedchat

AmandaBuethe - Moderator Nov 6 @ 9:42 PM EST

A4: SpecialEd- tell us what we can do. What are the modifications? Etc. sometimes I feel we don’t get those out in the open. #ksedchat

aboone_angie Nov 6 @ 9:42 PM EST

A5: talk to them! Don't just expect the sped T to. As a gen Ed T you know what you want in your room #ksedchat

perezhasclass Nov 6 @ 9:43 PM EST

Develop a clear communication style to set your support expectations/needs while also valuing their expertise and point of view. #ksedchat

AmandaBuethe - Moderator Nov 6 @ 9:40 PM EST

#ksedchat

cmccartney93 Nov 6 @ 9:44 PM EST

A5: I would always sit down and discuss Ss goals and expectations then we would form a plan of how para and I would...Teamwork! #ksedchat

pynn1320 Nov 6 @ 9:44 PM EST

A5-Making sure expectations are set and knowing your Ss. Support staff need to know Ss as well. #ksedchat

eric_falls Nov 6 @ 9:45 PM EST

A5 Get to know the paras, their background and their strengths comfort levels. #ksedchat

perezhasclass Nov 6 @ 9:45 PM EST

A5: Encourage support that doesn’t involve the para holding a pencil while the students is empty handed. #ksedchat

We need time before school and periodically to go over expectations. Also need time to collab. They may be seeing things we aren’t.#ksedchat

A5 provide many opportunities and variety of formal and informal assessment. #ksedchat

pynn1320 Nov 6 @ 9:52 PM EST

A6-By having them show US what they know not just the Para. The Para is support-not a replacement. #ksedchat

AmandaBuethe - Moderator Nov 6 @ 9:52 PM EST

Best way for me to see what a kid knows is to talk to them one-on-one. Not feasible every day, but best way to see thinking! #ksedchat

AmandaBuethe - Moderator Nov 6 @ 9:50 PM EST

#ksedchat

dalaina_smith Nov 6 @ 9:53 PM EST

A5: there has to be open communication with paras from SPED Ts & classroom Ts... should not be assumed someone else shared #ksedchat

AmandaBuethe - Moderator Nov 6 @ 9:40 PM EST

#ksedchat

eric_falls Nov 6 @ 9:53 PM EST

A6 if you think a ss knows more than they showed on a test they probably do and the test needs tweaking #ksedchat

aboone_angie Nov 6 @ 9:54 PM EST

A6: knowing that the supports create an environment that is fair not equal. #ksedchat

AmandaBuethe - Moderator Nov 6 @ 9:55 PM EST

Small but mighty group on #ksedchat tonight. Thanks for all the responses! Our Kansas students' futures are brighter b/c of you!

dalaina_smith Nov 6 @ 9:55 PM EST
