A2: A form of communication-Without words or the ability to navigate social interactions it can be very difficult 2 be independent #Spedchat

RachelH872 May 9 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A2: To self advocate! Taking my cue from @DHHtecherISin #spedchat

MissProvvi May 9 @ 9:12 PM EDT

RachelH872 May 9 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A3: Learned helplessness = HUGE barrier to hurtle. It's hard, but Ts need to step back for a second to foster an "I can" from a S #spedchat

higginbothamm May 9 @ 9:14 PM EDT

The biggest barriers for encouraging students not being able to find impactful ways to engage them within the classroom #spedchat

MissProvvi May 9 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A3: barrier would be the limits that curriculum holds on teaching independence, it is up to the teacher to instil self-advocacy #spedchat

ksuding May 9 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A3: Fine line of making sure we aren't determining what a full life is for them but truly allowing them to decide #spedchat We bcome barrier

DelaneyScottde1 May 9 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A3: sometimes it can be hard to see your students fail. We often want to do everything to see success in the moment #spedchat

MsDendinger May 9 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A3: fading of prompts (mainly w/ my paras), sufficient time for guided practice, and making it meaningful for students to work at #spedchat

Using structured sabotage to teach will help give Ss skills so when they are on their own they have tools to succeed. #spedchat

In reply to @DelaneyScottde1

nlmorrow4 May 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A3: From students: 6 years worth of prior education filled with self-doubt, learned helplessness & distrust in adults #spedchat

#Spedchat Q4: How do you talk about post-school supports/needs w/students while still maintaining idea of independence as adults?

#Spedchat A1 Independence is accomplishing tasks/goals on your own, utilizing your strengths. You can build skills to become independent.

A4. Treat the students as people, we can address their needs in a way that you would with anyone who faces setbacks #spedchat

mrfieldmanchs May 9 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A3 resistance from Ss who don't yet have a growth mindset to tackle the changes. It's scary for them #spedchat

I think I may use it at the office for myself when @danielgmcnulty walks by! "Um...it's just structured sabotage. I planned this!" #spedchat

In reply to @singoffpitch, @DHHteacherISin, @DelaneyScottde1, @danielgmcnulty

nlmorrow4 May 9 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A4: consistently reinforcing that success & independence are subjective! Support does not mean that you can't be independent #spedchat

singoffpitch - Moderator May 9 @ 9:19 PM EDT

I guess your structured sabotage would be the opposite, but sometimes IEPs are structured ways to sabotage futures. #spedchat
