I don’t know about you but I have a LOT of adults in and out of my room. Paraprofessionals, speech therapist, occupational therapist, social worker, psychologist, case manager … It sometimes seems like a revolving door! {Need help managing all of these visitors? Check out this post!} With a full case load of students and the behavior problems to match, it also seems like every day there is a change to one of our behavior plans. The time interval has changed, we’ve added a new target social skill, there is a new behavior we are taking data on… you get it. So how do you keep everyone up to date on all of these changes? Without spending half your day updating everyone?
Brilliant solution: a Dry Erase Board for Your Staff!
Our kids can’t monopolize every dry erase board in our class. We need to some of that dry erase board love too!
Dedicate an entire dry erase board to staff business!
Include notes or additions to behavior plans, write in any changes to the schedule, and leave some love notes for your staff too! I keep mine next to my data clipboards and weekly calendar. It’s right by our closet where the staff keeps their coats. It’s in a prime location so everyone can check it before working with a student so they know exactly what’s up.
There is nothing worse than make a change to a behavior plan, getting it started, and then someone else (accidentally) switches it! You basically have to start over! Prevent those problems before they start!
