Teachers can utilize these resources to teach students how to self-regulate their emotions and request a break if necessary. Directions and tips are included on the second page of the PDF, but I encourage you to check out my blog post here highlighting how I use these in my classroom.

Each card has an editable text box you can fill with sight words, math facts, reading comprehension questions, letters, numbers... the possibilities are endless.

This bulletin board decoration will help students remember that they are in control of themselves: they control their actions, their words, their effort... And in doing so, they can make smart choices to reach their full potential. Product includes

Contains editable pages for school contact, teacher contact, dates to know, and school calendar. The "Dates to Know' comes pre-designed for a special education teacher, but there is a blank "Dates to Know" page if you do not need IEP information.

Looking for a quick, simple way for your students to self-assess their knowledge on a subject? I've got you covered! My "turn in bin" was a staple in my elementary classroom for students to give me a glimpse into their level of comfort and understanding of a subject- simply by turning it in!

Two versions of the labels are included: leaves with the pink border (pictured) and leaves with a green border.

These labels are designed to fit the three drawer Sterilite Bins (linked here on Amazon for your convenience). Students can use these drawer labels as an anonymous, quick self-assessment once they have completed an assignment. Before use, I recommend discussing with students the importance of honest reflection of their work and understanding of the assignment and choosing an appropriate drawer to turn their work into. 

Print on cardstock and laminate for extra durability.

Students can complete this behavior tracker to show how well they were able to:

Follow directions

Participate

Have a positive attitude

Stay on task

Complete work

I added room for the teacher to write in how many (if any) prompts are acceptable to follow directions and stay on task. I also left room for a percentage of work that should be completed. I know often my special education students struggle to complete assignments due to lack of focus, etc. So I might put that one student needs to complete 70% of his assignment and then gradually increase it. There is space for that to be written in in the chart.

Students can choose a big smiley face, a small smiling face, and a frowning face to show how well they were able to maintain the directives. At the bottom there is room for teacher signature and comments. At the top, the student has space to write what assignment he or she is assessing.

Two sheets print per page to save paper.
