Hello Friends!!! It's Jen from Out of This World Literacy! I hope everyone is having a fabulous summer relaxing and sleeping in. I know many of my friends are moving roles in this upcoming school year. Some are switching grades while others are stepping out of the classroom to fill specific leadership positions. As a Literacy Coach, I know what it's like to take that leap out of the classroom and into a specialist position. It. is. scary! Teachers who shift into a leadership role often leave the comfort and support of a grade-level team. They can sometimes feel like they are out there on their own island. Other teachers suddenly look at them differently...even though these teachers don't see themselves as a superior. They are not administrators, nor is their pay any different than when they were in the classroom. But, because of their new 'specialist' title, they are now looked at differently. I have some advice and tips for anyone who is stepping bravely out of the classroom and into a leadership role. Whether your new title is Reading Coach, Literacy Specialist, Interventionist, RTI Coordinator, or so on, I hope this list of advice can help you! TOP 10 TIPS FOR TEACHER SPECIALIST: 1. LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN! 2. Don't fall into the gossip traps 3. Think about the effects of your words before you speak 4. Ways to get on the teachers' good sides right away... a. Give stuff away at staff meetings! Don't hold on to all your classroom goodies! You don't have a classroom anymore! Make a FREE box and put it at the front door at the first staff meeting! b. Offer to come into classrooms, read a story, and introduce yourself to all the kids! Make a sign-up sheet for teachers so you can visit. It gives teachers a 20 minute break and it gets your foot in the door of all the classrooms! c. This last one is cheesy I know...but...SMILE! Be positive! A great attitude is contagious! And a smile can literally make someone's day. Whatever you're dealing with, smile, be positive, and that will go such a long way! 5. Be Patient! 6. Never trust teachers to read all their emails! If you have something important to share, chances are they will not read all their emails. You will likely need to send reminders. We all know how busy teachers are. Friendly reminders for meetings and so on are a must! :) 7. Always carry a calendar or ipad in the halls! Teachers will stop you and ask about things. They will ask you to come into the classroom, or send them something. It's hard to remember everything. Have something to write your quick hallway conversations down with! Otherwise, you will likely forget and unintentionally upset a teacher! 8.It's OK to say no! 9. Never act like you know everything! 10. Build yourself a layer of seriously thick skin! If you want to read more about what I have to say for each of these 10 tips, you can download this FREE resource! I wish everyone a fantastic start to a new year, whether it's back in your old classroom or taking on a new role! Jen Bengel Visit my TpT Store Follow me on Facebook Join me on Pinterest

The Google Sheet template includes: Caseload "at a glance" page, showing you all students and the areas they have goals (formatted to update when goal is added to the student's tab) Build for an entire school year, 8 progress reporting periods Each students’ data is on a separate page for privacy and clarity Four goals per student (labels are editable) Formatting averages up to 5 trials per goal (able to edit to include more, see how here) Template is built to 25 students Names in the “Caseload” tab are hyperlinks to that student’s unique tab As you add goals, the subjects with a goal turn yellow on the “Caseload” tab Watch the spreadsheet in action right here! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do your students have more than 4 goals? I offer an 8 goals per student version of this template! Want to track objectives also? Check out this version! Do you want graphs from your data? See two graphs you can easily make from this Sheet! And check out my Student Friendly version loaded with visuals! Need more than 5 trials?

Even if you’ve adjusted your monitor to show colors just right, there are a bunch of contributing factors (Fabric Material, Garment Color, etc.) that can change how the colors look when they’re printed. 💖 Thank you for being a part of my wonderful journey and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! 💖

Visual Closure Age Group : 6+ Laid out in a colourful and easy-to-use format, it is ideal for specialist teachers, occupational therapists, speech pathologists and parents who are looking for ready-to-use and engaging activities to build their children’s confidence in processing visual information. Visual perception skills affect a number of areas in a child’s development, ranging from motor and learning skills to essential life skills. It is therefore vital that the visual aspects of dyslexia are effectively addressed. The prime purpose of this book series is to act as a genuinely helpful tool for parents and specialists who need easy-to-use and enjoyable activities to support their children with dyslexia. Visual closure is the ability to identify a whole shape, form or function from an incomplete visual representation. It underpins children’s ability to spell, read and comprehend texts effectively and at speed. Children with visual closure deficits experience major difficulties in processing incomplete visual information, which, in turn, severely affects their confidence and overall learning performance. Using this set of resources you can transform the daunting task of addressing visual perception difficulties into an enjoyable and rewarding learning experience.
