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!
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!

My little birds came from clip art I collected on public domain clip art sites. Backgrounds, colored lettering and borders were created in publisher (back when I had the time over summer vacation!)

mrskgoz re: A Special Education Teacher's Survival Guide
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

cindyhenderson re: A Special Education Teacher's Survival Guide
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:
http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Special-Educators-Regular-Education-Progress-Communication-Log-Publisher-File
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?
Thanks,

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!

Hello!
I just bought your Special Education Teacher's Survival Guide and I love it! I just had some questions: I am a brand new teacher in a high school setting and I am trying to figure out the best way for me to organize my student's IEP's. I thought about having a binder for each student with tabs and then store them in crates behind my desk. Or I know that in your guide you say to have one binder with all the student's IEP's....just wondering what you have found that works best.
Thank you!
Jessica

Hi Jessica! I have always kept an extra copy of my student's IEPs in a large binder. Though one of my colleagues had a very large caseload (servicing students in speech therapy) and she found that keeping all of the IEPs in a binder was impractical! She uses a folder system for each individual student, which worked best for her.
I used the large binder with IEPs for my entire caseload for a few reasons:
**I could jot down notes on them rather quickly at the end of the day (without pulling out all of the working files, folders where I keep IEPS and other paperwork)
**I could have the paraprofessional working in my room take the whole binder down to the photocopy room and make copies when it came time to send progress notes to parents. It went very quickly!
**If a teacher came to the room with a quick question about the student's program, all the information was up-to-date and at my finger tips...I didn't even have to leave the group I was working with!
** I could take all of my IEPs home to read them before the school year started...and not a stack of folders. When it came time to code IEPs, I tossed the binder in my tote bag if I was too tired to do it at school.
**I have had adminstration ask for last minute information (such as how many students have a particular accomodation) and could flip through my binder and tabulate information quickly.
**A binder with all of the IEPs is really handy if the principal calls you to the office for an impromtu meeting about your program. It's happened to me...yikes! I have also been in a meeting with the principal discussing student "A" and then student "B" needs were brought up while I was there. It is not humanly possible to remember every student's indvidual needs! I was so glad that I had every student's IEP sitting on my lap.
Though when doing it this way, there were a couple of things I had to remember...
when a new IEP was written, I had to remember to make extra copies. In our district we keep cumalative files and working files (where I keep a personal copy of all forms) and lastly a copy of the IEP for my binder. It became a habit before long and it was no big deal.
It really depends on the size of your caseload and your organizational needs and style. Find whatever works best for you and go for it! Enjoy your first year teaching!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I currently work as a special education teacher in a 4-6 resource room. I teach math and Read 180. This year will be my 6th year! Though challenging, it is enjoyable each year to develop a program to meet the student's needs!
MY TEACHING STYLE
Often the students need reteaching and repetition to maintain skills. I am always on the look out for new and interesting ways to present the lessons. Presenting information with memory aids or in a kinesthetic manner is important to me. Check out my blog to learn more about my classroom!
