Let’s be real: as a Multi-Grade Resource, FSC, or specialized support teacher, your classroom isn’t just a room—it’s a busy base camp with a lot of "hikers" coming and going! If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to direct traffic in a thunderstorm while simultaneously reading a map, this session is your dry socks and a warm campfire.
Led by a fellow veteran currently trekking the MGR/FSC trails, this workshop is 100% focused on practical, boots-on-the-ground systems to keep your "expedition" moving smoothly. We’re moving past theory and getting into the nitty-gritty of how to manage a diverse crew of adults and a wide range of student needs without losing your compass.
In this session, we’ll gear up with:
- The Trail Map (Movement): Systems for managing the constant flow of students between Gen Ed, pull-outs, and resource time so no one gets lost in the underbrush.
- The Radio Frequency (Adult Communication): How to establish clear, respectful, and anti-ableist communication lines with EAs, RBTs, Gen Ed partners, and related service providers.
- The Group Gear (Individualized Support): Practical ways to provide individualized support across grade levels without burning out your internal battery.
- Base Camp Logistics: Quick-fire templates and "cheat sheets" for keeping everyone—adults and students alike—on the same path.
Whether you have a team of five EAs or you’re collaborating across three different grade-level teams, come learn how to streamline the "human" side of your classroom so you can focus on what matters: the keiki.
