Time Saving & Useful Classroom Tools (Part 2)

Let's explore more of my favorite useful and time saving items for special education!!!

Tally Counters

This is the perfect tool for tracking behaviors, or tracking data on a student. Sometimes we don't have a pen and paper handy. Sometimes we just need to multitask and this gadget is perfect for this. You can just hang this on a lanyard and carry it with you.

I have used this to track frequency, correct responses, or specific skills.

Digital Tally Counter

These digital tally counters are incredible. You can put these on your finger and keep track of any skills you are monitoring. It is the same concept as the tool above but digital. I also love that is is light and easy to carry. 

I love having different colors because you can assign specific colors for each student or for specific tasks. 

For example: 
-IEP goal 1: Red, IEP goal 2: blue
-Red: Eloping or Green: Off Task

Pencil Dispenser

If your students are always asking for sharpened pencils, here is a cool storing unit. Students can press down to get another pencil! 

My daughter's teacher had this and it was the best!

Visual Supports Organizer and Storage

I would always use this system to organize my student's visual icon and/or visual icon schedules. I would place a label or copy of the visual on the outside of the drawer, so I could know what was in each drawer. It made it so easy to find the visuals I was looking for.

Organization Box

This is an organization box. I have used it in multiple ways. 

You can use it for:

• Storing different edible reinforcers
• theme erasers
• varying tokens or small manipulatives

I loved to use it for edibles, specially at the beginning of the school year, when I was beginning to establish classroom management. The different spaces helps you vary your edibles choices depending on your student's likes.

​Teacher Apron with 3 Pockets

When you need to be hands free, but still need to carry handy things with you to keep your students engaged, reinforced, or entertained... this apron helps!

You can also use it to have spare items like erasers, tokens, visuals, pencils etc.

I hope these items are as useful to you as they were to me! If you haven't tried some of them, I highly recommend them!

Save time, and make your life easier as you multitask in the world of special education!
