• Hello Parents,
     
    I would like to take this opportunity to further explain the capacity in which I will teach your child and some of the roles and responsibilities of my position (please see below): 
    • The duties of an inclusion teacher demands the ability to multitask with a high level of performance.
    • Attends to the requirements detailed in the education plans of their special needs students, such as a 504 plan, Transition plan (a post-secondary plan), IFSP (Individual Family Service Plan), or IEP (Individual Education Plan). Your child's IEP is confidential. Please feel free to set up a conference with me if you have any questions in that area. 
    • Modifies lessons, materials, and tests as needed per the student’s education plan. An example of a modification is to use lower level reading materials for a lesson.
    • Accommodates the student’s needs such as allowing for extra time to turn in assignments for homework, on tests, or providing a separate area for testing. (The accommodations specific to your child is listed on his or her IEP.)
    Altogether, this is not an exhaustive list of my responsibilities, as it relates to teaching your child; however, it is my hope that it sheds light on any questions you may have regarding the Exceptional Education Resource/Inclusion program at RBMSAS. Furthermore, above all else, it is my duty to focus on educating students for preparation in a post-secondary life and to work along with the general education teachers to provide students the best learning experience possible!
      
    FYI:
    Mrs. Griffin's Reward System
    Each time students attend resource class, they are allowed to earn two stickers on their positive behavior sticker charts (one for classroom participation & one for good behavior). When they accumulate enough stickers and land on the I Get a Prize spot, they get to go in my treat box! The students really enjoy this reward system and it really encourages them to participate in my class. When the students participate, I am better able to meet their individualized learning needs. Please continue to speak with your child about positive behavior at home & school. Thank you!
