#SPED MATH TWITTER CHAT

This was my first time on a twitter chat and it was quite interesting. I decided to chat on SPED MATH and found it fairly easy to find the chat and get logged on.. There were probably about 20 others on the chat from all over the country. I liked that when we first logged on we were asked to let the group know where we were from and what grade levels/subjects we taught. Many of the topics covered were about how to decide what to teach our students in comparison to what was being taught in the regular classroom as well as the pacing for sped students. I commented quite a few times in regards to the pacing and how quickly we teach objectives and move on to the next not allowing students time to even understand/practice/process the material. Most of the group agreed that the pacing is extremely fast and that it hinders our students from learning the material and the many objectives that are taught. This belief was across all grade levels and it was nice to see that others all over the country are struggling with the same issues. Overall this was a great experience and I would like to try another one soon.

  1. So glad you had a "great experience" in your first SPED chat! You connected with a manageable number of SPED teachers and found commonalities and shared goals/challenges. These might be great teachers for you to follow on Twitter.
