E2E 1-Day Lesson: Don't Be a "Space Invader"
Many students with behavior disorders or Autism have difficulty reading cues about appropriate personal space and boundaries. We work hard to teach students about “not standing too close,” but explicit instruction in the finer nuances of personal space (when it is appropriate to touch others’ belongings, blocking aisles, the noise created by fidgeting, etc.) goes neglected. This 50-minute lesson is lighthearted but still teaches those nuances with a kinesthetic, hands-on project. If you like thi

E2E Reflective Reading Log Printable: 14 Days of Reading Log Entries!
Man, kids hate keeping a reading log. Half of mine were like "It's cool. I'll take the zero" when I told them they had to keep a reading log over something they were reading. In a perfect world, kids would read for the utter joy of it, but we do not live in such a utopia. At least in my class, students need structure and accountability, or independent reading time quickly devolves into chaos. This printable log provides students with 14 days of journal logs, combining metacognitive reflection

Experience
Providing support for students to be independent is 1000x better than spoon-feeding them the answers. Clarity and scaffolding are not coddling; clear directions and lots of practice are the basis of good teaching. 13 years 9-12 ELA with a special focus on working with SPED and ELL. 9 years in SPED with a focus on adolescent behavior disorders and improving social skills.
Teaching style
I don't talk down to kids and balance treating them like young adults with setting firm boundaries and expectations. I'm not a fly by the seat of my pants sort of teacher; I create a very structured setting to meet expressed student need.
Awards & shining teacher moments
My colleagues said I was the least-obnoxious of the special service providers when I worked in SPED. That's like an award, right...?

Additional biographical information
You know what I really dislike? Going to staff development, workshops, or symposiums where all the presenters do is jabber in sweeping generalities without ever telling me HOW to accomplish the lofty ideals being espoused. Okay, I actually hate that (dislike is an understatement).
That's why I have sought to write materials that lead teachers, step by step, through the process of meeting students' ELA and SECD needs. You know that box you have to check on an IEP? The one that says how many "minutes of instruction" you'll give the kid or how you'll help the kid meet his goal? My materials actually help you DO that...not just talk about it.
