Children who need special attention in the classroom have often been shunted into classes dedicated to just their needs. However, this focuses on their disabilities, rather than their strengths, and leaves many feeling overwhelmed or “picked on” by others. Mainstreaming is an alternative that many schools have embraced as a way of creating a more inclusive classroom.
However, there are problems with this method and the ways that it puts a uniquely heavy demand on teachers who may not have learned appropriate teaching tools for special needs students. However, this DVD can help make up the difference for these educators by providing an extensive and engaging lesson in creating winning and successful strategies for mainstream classrooms.
In just 40 minutes, you will learn how to prepare for your special needs students, how to best manage your time with them, content creation tips, better understand your roles and responsibilities, learn about ways to manage negative behaviors, and many other skills. This exhaustive DVD is simple to understand, engaging to watch, and can serve as a simple primer for teachers who suddenly find themselves facing a new and difficult education experience.
While this DVD can't replace the totality of special training for special needs students, it can serve as a basic introduciton that can help make the experience easier for you to handle.
