I currently have a c and i don't know any of the stuff she has taught on due to my inability to write quickly while listening to what she is saying. It has led to me spending hours upon hours on the notebook and still not being able to keep it up. Do you have any tips i can use. I have never really hated anything before but now i hate math with a passion. I used to just get bored easily in math. but now it feels like torture.

But my focus in the notebook is simplifying the notes as much as possible so it's just major information that I'm giving them. Even when I was teaching in class support classes (as the mainstream teacher) I didn't give special notes to any kids in particular. If there was a page with a lot of text, I would print that out for everyone in the class. I don't ever want to spend lots of time having any kid do what a copier can do. I'm also of the mindset that what's good for special education students is most frequently just good teaching for all kids, IEP or not. So a lot of those modified notes that often only the classified kids get will be the notes that everyone gets.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14839097475307093993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616705538646565883.post-59778322504220067932017-08-19T13:08:25.586-04:002017-08-19T13:08:25.586-04:00I LOVE your ideas and am so excited to try ISNS th...I LOVE your ideas and am so excited to try ISNS this year! For students on IEPS that shouldn't take lots of notes, do you just give them copies of everything? I am concerned it will take them forever to get the info in the book and they will fall behind....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12190632372591103827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616705538646565883.post-91228921040537738412015-10-22T09:12:22.961-04:002015-10-22T09:12:22.961-04:00How do you handle the students that just refuse to...How do you handle the students that just refuse to take notes?

Anyway, I love method 3! You are absolutely right- the journal is more about are the kids able to use it as a reference guide rather than just did they copy that definition down. Love it. In response to how to grade them when picking them up I did something that worked for me last year. I took 4 different colored stickers and placed one on each of their journals. At the end of the class I would say "I need Pink journals" and they would turn them it. I would only have to take 5 journals home from each class and grade. So much easier than trying to take 40.

I also have a rubric that I use once a six weeks for completion/upkeep purposes but I also let my students use it on their weekly "Brain Dump" which is my alternate to saying quiz since it freaks students out.Jennifer Smithhttp://liveteachcreate.comnoreply@blogger.com
