My behavior support class this term learned about the benefits of using positive reinforcement with students. Some students need extrinsic motivation (reinforcement) so we created a list of 40 great reinforcers you can use in your classroom.

We split the reinforcers into categories: Edible, tangible, activity and social reinforcers.

Remote classroom job chart for zoom teaching

remote classroom job chart!

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Remote-Class-Jobs-Google-Doc–6240602

I could not wait to share this education technology (ED Tech) tool I created to help build classroom community! Classroom jobs help develop a sense of community and also help the teacher with tasks that need to be completed.

How to use

This helpful google doc. can be shared with students who can edit it and directly add their names to the job they choose. At the start of class identify which jobs are needed and a quick job description to go with it. The jobs in my class stayed the same all term and the students rotated jobs!

One job that really helped me as an instructor was “door holder” or letting other students in who were in the zoom waiting room. I was able to continue to teach while a student had the job of making sure everyone got in to class.

Picture of the job chart

How helpful would this tool be for your own remote classroom?

Where to start! Teaching students with Autism: Foundational Evidence Based Practices (EBPs)

Leave a reply

When we look at high quality interventions for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), we want to learn the foundational SIX EBPs first! When teachers are able to intervene and use strategies with fidelity, students have better outcomes!

This is one of my new lectures that I am posting here. I hope to empower and teach new teachers and parents.

I would love to hear how you are able to incorporate these foundational interventions into your work with students!

Respectfully,

Sarah
