#dojochat
I_teach_Pandas
Sep 20 @ 7:32 PM EDT
A4: Student-student is what I deal with the most. My poor SPED kiddos have a hard time relating to each other.
#dojochat
erins2
Sep 20 @ 7:33 PM EDT

#dojochat
I_teach_Pandas
Sep 20 @ 7:43 PM EDT

#dojochat

Sep 20 @ 7:45 PM EDT
A6 Try to give them as much choice and control as I can. Let them be involved with resolving the problem. Feel good abt the choice
#dojochat
