| Summary Note |
"Cindy Golden, a seasoned special educator, administrator, and psychologist with almost 30 years of experience, has based this teacher-friendly toolkit on her popular OMAC [Organization and Management of All Classrooms] system - an innovative approach to creating effective classrooms for students with all types of disabilities. You'll get step-by-step, ready-to-use guidance on managing six key aspects of their daily work: 1. Environment. Make the most of every inch of classroom space! Clean out clutter and construct classroom zones, work stations, and bulletin board displays that support learning. 2. Communication. Implement low-cost communication supports that meet student needs. Make simple picture symbol books, interactive schedules, labels for classroom areas and objects, and more. 3. Teaching methods and materials. Determine student needs, create schedules, simplify the IEP process, and pinpoint the best methods for teaching academic and social skills. 4. Behavioral systems. Organize a successful behavioral system that motivates students, helps them improve behavior and social skills, and uses positive reinforcement techniques. 5. Data and paperwork. Learn the secrets to creating a simple, logical, highly efficient system for managing paperwork - so more time can be spent on teaching. 6. Staff and home supports. Build trusting, respectful relationships with classroom staff and parents with stress-free strategies like team meetings and home communication notebooks. Dozens of proven strategies, vivid examples, and clever tips and tricks will help you make immediate improvements in your classroom. And the included CD-ROM gives you more than 60 printable forms and tools to support learning, safety, and positive behavior." - Back cover. |
