I enjoy the fact that you are investing a lot of time with children with severe learning disabilities. It really helps them succeed in the real world. 🎉👍🏼
I cannot tell you HOW MUCH I appreciate this inside look into another self contained teacher's schedule and procedures. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this!!!!
I loved this! I have been a para for the past three school years, but this year I will be THE TEACHER!! I am very nervous to actually be in charge now. Please keep making videos!
What an awesome video. I am also a special education teacher and TH-camr too! Thank you for sharing your schedule. I completely get your structure. It is necessary and so important!
Yay! So glad I found you via a shared post on FB! I want to be like you when I grow up! Lol Seriously, I am a new special ed teacher who was a Chef for 12 years and now I am trying to use the structure and PRACTICE I trained new staff in the kitchen, in the classroom. I work at a non-public school and need all the advice I can get. I plan to watch ALL your videos. Thank you for what you do...you rock and I appreciate your time in sharing your vast knowledge with newbies like me! ♥🙏
What an amazing person so knowledgeable and resourceful.i haven’t found such unique helpful videos in autism in the classroom your just amazing you should b acknowledged Nobel prize.you have given me where to start and progress your simply the best.please never stop your reward believe me will come.
OMGOODNESS where have you been all my teaching life lol?! Our classroom schedule is similar, but I'm glad to have hopefully found a kindred spirit. What I'm wondering is how to translate the schedule and activities to remote learning. I'll check for other videos by you, but any direction you could provide would be so appreciated!
Thank you so much for your videos! This year I am at an SDC elementary classroom after 6 years in the SDC middle school setting - and your videos have eased my anxiety! I have a better idea on whats the same/different and what to prepare for! Thank you!
Though I am a 9th grade Sped teacher, I can definitely benefit from some of the various strategies you’ve mentioned. This is my first year teaching in the DOE. I especially like the part where you mentioned that you create a “cheat sheet” for the general education/ content specialist.
I loved this video! I am a senior at MSU studying special education (the profile pic is WAY outdated lol) and almost all of my placements have been self contained K-2 autism and this routine, can I just say goals?? thank you for this! also I love this “day in the life” style videos and binged them all so this was perfect! thank you for being a realistic resource to us future educators, you have taught me so much and I am so excited for your first year teacher series coming up!
Hey, Braelan! I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing such great information. This is my first year (officially) as a SPED teacher! :) Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us..
I'm wrapping up my mod-severe student teaching and am so thankful I found you!! :) Thank you for all the info you provide and the way you provide it! Love your energy!
Hey Braelan, I love how you edited this video! So cute and unique. I also love your incentive times in the classroom. I think its something I can use with my kinders.
such an amazing video! this is something I would have lovedddd to have to watch when I first started teaching. still very much enjoyed it but know it will be so helpful for newer teachers too!
I teach 3rd-5th self contained. I am having a hard time getting to all of our standards, especially science and social studies. Your videos provide so much helpful information!
Hey, this coming year will be my first year teaching. Like you, I will be teaching students in elementary school with more severe disabilities. I have loved watching your videos and I love the timed slides!! Do you have a video on how to create your slides? This would be so helpful to keep me on track. I am so excited to start the year, but also really nervous so any advice would help!!
I love your videos. We have the same job and we use many of the same materials. I was wondering where you get your timers for the smart board. I use the visual timers all over my room, but I think the way you are using timers is what I should be doing. Keep up the good work!
Hey!! I watch your videos all the time. You are very resourceful and blessing to special educators!!! I remember you shared in one video about math flash cards where you bought the subscription and printed out math flash cards to go into independent task/work boxes for higher level kids. Can you please give me the name of the website.
I have students that are hand over hand how can I implement this without wearing myself and my aids by not having to go to each kid to finish their work?
I'm a parent that meets special needs with all kinds of disabilities every week and it's just moms planning ideas. Mine feels most disabled because he does not like communicating..non verbal but no behaviors. Could you show some activities that improve logical thinking and social activities that we moms can do with all the kids?
iI'm Type B also but that's one of the reason I have to have things ready to go. I love remote learning because I've Hve to have things ready to go a few weeks in advance to pass our materials to kids.
Superb! Just one pointer: Use of very plain sans serif font is recommended by experts. It is a real joy to view an attractive educator who is passionate about her role in the expert delivery of special educational services, Do consider a doctorate so you can be a wider advocate of our career calling. God Bless, Joan
Great schedule, structure and routine is so so so important! Recess can definitely be a tough time especially coming in from recess and trying to keep an eye on all of them with the entire school out for 2/3 recess times lol 😬
Hi, I'm glad that I discovered your channel, please I have a question. How can I modify materials to give a child with disabilities greater independence?
This is a super helpful video. I am just starting my licensure program in Elm/Sped and where I am, I think I'll end up as a gen ed/inclusion class or a pull out teacher. I am still a long way off from having my own classroom but I started subbing in October and was doing so until March... I like your idea of earned incentives during the day - but how do you handle a situation where most or many of your students earned their incentives but one or more did not? Do you have a slide that designates "incentive time #1" or whatever and if a student did not earn their incentive, do you have a task for them? What about behaviors? How do you help prevent a melt down when a child doesn't earn the thing they wanted when everyone else did? how do you prevent that from being known by classmates or let it turn into a taunt? In another video you did a while back you talk about classroom community. I am sure that helps but how would you approach this situation where there was ...less community?
Meltdowns happen for sure. I always have an option for every student. I didn't go into too much in the video but every kid gets an incentive. But the students who have done the most get the best. The kids who barely earned get basically a book or a blank piece of paper.
I love all of your videos!! What are your thoughts and plans on running your classroom with all of the restrictions and changes due to Covid? I have 8 special ed students in a self-contained classroom so I'm trying to figure out how to give them the movement they need throughout the day while also keeping them "socially distanced" open to suggestions!!!
Thank you! I probably won't be making a specific video about this becuase everyone is different and every states situation is different. We are all in this together figuring it out for the first time.
How are you going to change your schedule now since all kids have to be 6 feet apart because of the pandemic. According to the CDC guidelines everything has to change!
Hasn't really been an issue. Student's arent super close to each other and I barely changed a thing. Been teaching all year in person. Hope that helps. I have plenty of other videos on my channel that explain more about what I am doing this year
Hello I am a new IRR Teacher and I was wondering since you have k-2 do you teach each grade level work. I teach RELA and Math 2-5 grade and im juat trying to figure out my lesson plans via IEP
MY TYPO!!!! LOLLLLLLL

I am SO intimidated by creating a daily schedule and lesson planning! But I want to be like YOU: structured and organized with high expectations!
Thanks! Structure is key! The schedule can move and change as things happen! It might not all be set up the first time!
I cannot tell you HOW MUCH I appreciate this inside look into another self contained teacher's schedule and procedures. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this!!!!

I’m in college now working on becoming a special education teacher! So happy I found this video and your channel!
you are doing the lord's work! thank you so much for all the resources and insights you give to incoming SpEd teachers!!

Thanks for sharing your process. Great video.
Practice QUEEN! I love it.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I did the same thing with regular Ed…practice, practice, rehearse. Great teaching practices!!
I teach 3rd-5th self contained. I am having a hard time getting to all of our standards, especially science and social studies. Your videos provide so much helpful information!

I am so excited to start the year, but also really nervous so any advice would help!!
I make them on google slides! I download/convert timers form TH-cam. Teach Create Motivate has some that cost a lot but they are great!
I love all your videos. They are extremely helpful for a first year teacher.
SO TRUE SUCH AN AWESOME EDUCATOR!!!! PLANS!
I love your videos. We have the same job and we use many of the same materials. I was wondering where you get your timers for the smart board. I use the visual timers all over my room, but I think the way you are using timers is what I should be doing. Keep up the good work!
Yay the same job! The timers on the slides have been a game changer. Mostly for me!!
I can’t wait to teach I’m excited and eager !
I worked in an SLC just like this for 9 years, so I understand that structure. ❤
I love all of your recess procedures! And I definitely agree that lunch is my least favorite. My kids don’t want to stay in their seats at all 😆
My kids hate their seats but eventually they get it 😂😂😂😂
Awesome video thank you for sharing. I have enjoyed watching all your videos you have posted.
Hey!! I watch your videos all the time. You are very resourceful and blessing to special educators!!!

Hi. Can you share a sample of one of your lesson plans?
Great class schedule, I loved it! Are any of your items on Teacher Pay Teacher?

Hi, I'm glad that I discovered your channel, please I have a question. How can I modify materials to give a child with disabilities greater independence?
Wow, thanks. This gives me a good idea of what to do. Kindly share with me what your thoughts are when dealing with a 17years old special kid?
💪👏🏼great job!
Have you tried centers/stations during recess? It’s a game changer.
This is a super helpful video. I am just starting my licensure program in Elm/Sped and where I am, I think I'll end up as a gen ed/inclusion class or a pull out teacher. I am still a long way off from having my own classroom but I started subbing in October and was doing so until March...

Also, building a community from the beginning is KEY

💙I love your channel !

Hey there, are you able to share a copy of your slides? I don’t mind paying, I need more structure in my classroom.
How are you going to change your schedule now since all kids have to be 6 feet apart because of the pandemic. According to the CDC guidelines everything has to change!
Hasn't really been an issue. Student's arent super close to each other and I barely changed a thing. Been teaching all year in person. Hope that helps. I have plenty of other videos on my channel that explain more about what I am doing this year
May I ask how you insert the timer on your slide?
Via google slides. Insert video.
Like a cross categorical classroom?
Hello. Is your timer schedule available on TPT
Do you have a blank template you could send me
