As always, New Years are about creating resolutions, goals and new expectations. As a Special Education teacher, I look at it as a new way to challenge your class, your students, and your expectations for your class.
We can all agree that there are many challenges happening in our classroom. Along with these lines there are so many things that are out of our control. But as we enter the new year, I want you to stop and think of the things you CAN control. Your classroom is the first place to begin. As a classroom teacher, I always looked at New Year as a midpoint of the year but also a mini new year. For some reason, our special needs students begin to display changes after December!! It is almost like a light bulb turns on for many and routines start making sense. Yes I know... it took 2 semesters or quarters to get there... but it got there! So... why not challenge your students to the next level, the next expectation. Rethink some of the things that are happening in your classroom. Here are some things I did in January. Now I won't count the first 2 weeks, because after any break or days off... students always need routine reminders as they show some regression or simply forgot what it was like in my classroom! But after some classroom management, reinforcements, and consistent routines, you should be able to get back to your class flow. Here are some new goals for your class and your students:
January is always a great time to take things to the next level! New Year... New Goals!
