Dear Fellow Teacher,
Thank you for your interest in The Special Education Teacher's Survival Guide!
I am sure that you will find the included materials helpful in organizing your classroom, day-to-day activities and meeting with parents. Our jobs as special education teachers include unique responsibilities that at times can feel like a juggling act! As a special educator I have found certain organizational strategies particularly helpful and couldn't wait to share!
Enjoy!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Henderson

I wish this was customizable because it's a great resource. I don't think I can use everything, but it will definitely help me start to get organized. Very thorough and detailed, overall a great resource.
Great product, but is not very applicable to my middle school students. Most of the sections refers to assessments and data collected at the elementary level. Unfortunately, I will not get much use from it.

Hi, I saw in a previous answer that you were working on an editable version... I love the look of your guide, but I prefer to type versus write in information on students' forms. Do you have an editable version of the guide/When will it be available?
Thanks so much!
Hello!
Today I uploaded the original 126 page PDF and 23 forms (also PDF) with editable fields. It is a ZIP file due to the size!
Have a great week!

Hello! I just purchased and love "A Special Education Teacher's Survival Guide". This is my first year teaching and I am trying to develop an organization system that will work for me and my school requirements. Would it be possible to receive a blank PDF with just the border to make some school and district specific covers?
Thanks so much,
Kerrie

Does your packet include a communication sheet that is used between special education teacher and the regular classroom teacher? I am needing a good communication tool to check on my many students in regular classes. I also need this as a documented record that I am communicating on a regular basis with their teachers. I do, but don't have a form that would serve the purpose. I have purchased other packets that have many forms for special education, but none seem to have this. I have been surprised, because this is such a big part of our job; especially like mine at the middle school. As you know, it doesn't take a student very long to get behind and I need a form that I can send to a teacher either weekly or bi-weekly. Thank you so much for reading my request and the time you have taken to help make all of the record keeping a little easier. Cindy Henderson Woodward Middle School Woodward, Ok
The Special Education Survival Guide does not have that form.
I have designed one for that purpose after reading this question!
Check it out at:

I have included it in both a Word document and Publisher (available in my store) so teachers may edit it to meet their needs. It will be available as a FREEBIE for a limited time. This is a great idea...thanks!

Hi,
I love this survival guide. Great work! Before I download it, I'd like to know if I will be able to type right into the documents? Are they word docs or PDFs?
They are PDFs. I plan to work on a version that is editable for the future. For now though, they are not. I wish I had made them editable the first time; the documents have been such a hit. I think that would have made them even better!

I currently work as a special education teacher in a 5th grade resource room. This year will be my 6th year! Though challenging, it is enjoyable each year to develop a program to meet the student's needs!
