Resources
Here you'll find some of my favorite resources and tools, some of these were recommended to me through my observation hours, some by classmates, and a good few of them have been found by simply browsing online. These are geared primarily towards Elementary Students and classrooms.
Do2Learn is a Unique and varied resource that has a ton of digital tools for both in and out of the classroom! It has unique print offs, visual cues, and varied lesson to keep class engaging and accessible with an emphasis on both curriculum and social learning.
Reading rockets is a super fun course to promote and stimulate reading in the classroom! It has a ton of varied features including lesions that are adaptable and provide support for students who have IEPs or 504s who may struggle with concepts by allowing them additional assistance.
Very insightful article about inclusive seating in the classroom, as well as information on how to promote accessibility as a whole, and which station styles may prove ineffective for students with mobility based disabilities.
Share My Lesion is very similar to the likes of Teachers pay Teachers but with fewer paywalls. It has a huge variety of lesions available, you can find activities, worksheets, and articles at the click of a button and it's very easy to sort and search.

My name is Savana, and I am an Elementary Education major based out of Oklahoma, this project started as part of a class assignment and has rapidly become a passion project of sorts. I hope to bring to light adaptive and informative resources to not only make teaching a bit easier to those finding their footing, but accessible to students who rely on teachers for that space.
Roles/Responsibilities
IEPs are unique in the fact that they are an aspect of schooling that can not be assigned to simply one educator, but must instead be a collaborative effort of all those engaged in a student's life and education to get the most accurate and helpful support. General education teachers are capable of providing unique insight into a student's behavior in a general classroom and any behavioral or learning issues and assess ways to assist that are practical inside the classroom and once the IEP is drafted, implement them to ensure the students' needs are met. Likewise, special education teachers are able to on a deeper level assess the student's strengths and needs, while being familiar with the IEP process and assuming its legality and practicality, as well as suggesting changes.

It doesn't stop at just teaching! Parents should also have an active role in the discussion of IEPs, holding a unique understanding of their child's behaviors both at school and at home. A parent's job is to advocate for the child's best interests, while also understanding their history and providing feedback on proposed IEPs to help find practical solutions. From there it's up to administration to be accessible to parents and teachers alike, while also being open to the students. Administration is responsible for ensuring the school complies with legal and procedural requirements, in this case IEPs, and enforcing disciplinary action should they not be.
