This podcast is geared toward peer tutors in a middle schools and high school setting who are assigned to help students with disabilities in and out of the classroom.
Often as Life Skills (Special Education) teacher for students with severe disabilities, much of my time is dedicated to teaching and training peer tutors who take “Peer Tutoring” as an elective credit. With 30-50 peer tutors in 8 different classes, it is often difficult to train each one. I created this podcast as a way for me to train peer tutors on methods that will help them work more effectively with student with special needs and not have to repeat myself.
This podcast episode, “Giving Good Directions” highlights 4 tips on how to give directions so that students will listen. Other ideas for podcasts I have include, “100 Ways to Say Good Job: Effective Ways to Praise Students with Special Needs” and “High Fives and Handshakes: Ways to Encourage Appropriate Hands.”
