Hello all. I hope all is well! Reflection time. Working in a class of students with emotional disturbances is an emotional oxymoron. When they are good, all is great. They display their artillery of charismatic talents. When things are not so well, they display their artillery which mostly consists of physical and emotional attacks. The best we can do is to plan our work and work our plan! Julie, you have a great idea. In order to best guide our students properly, we first need to understand their behavior. This can be a daunting task. However, it can be a manageable one. The use technology can alleviate the task. Lets create an excel file or a Google form. Each will allow us to input data. We can then analyze the data, observe trends and ultimately guide our practices. You seem to have an acute scientific eye. When we collect data, analyze it and develop our strategies based on data, it can only be an asset to our students.
p.s. meet AO (Annoying Orange) We utilize him to take turns during our group sessions. He has had about a 75% success rate. It varies according to the day and the student's mood!
Great job Julie and WAMS staff.
