Classroom-Tested Lessons for SPED & ELL Teachers

Real classroom reflections, practical strategies, and thoughtfully designed resources that support students who need instruction to be clear, structured, and meaningful.

I share what I use with my own students—lessons shaped by experience, reflection, and revision, not trends.

Who This Space Is For

This blog is for teachers who:

  • Support students with disabilities and diverse language needs

  • Believe strong instruction should be explicit, accessible, and respectful

  • Want lessons that work in real classrooms—not just on paper

If you teach struggling readers, multilingual learners, or students who need thoughtful scaffolding, you’re in the right place.

From My Classroom

Here you’ll find reflections from my own teaching practice—what I tried, how students responded, and what I refined along the way.

These posts focus on:

  • Reading and writing instruction for SPED and ELL students

  • Differentiation that is realistic and sustainable

  • Using tools, including AI, thoughtfully and responsibly to support planning

Classroom-Tested Resources

Resources I Use With My Students

The lessons I share were created to solve real instructional problems:
students who struggle with comprehension, written expression, vocabulary, and organization.

Each resource is:

  • Designed with diverse learners in mind

  • Refined through repeated classroom use

  • Built to save teachers time without lowering expectations

Why I Share

I believe good teaching is intentional, reflective, and deeply human.
Everything I share here comes from classroom experience—what worked, what didn’t, and what needed to change so students could succeed.

My goal is to support teachers the same way we support students: with clarity, respect, and practical tools that make the work sustainable.

Support Beyond the Classroom

If you’d like occasional updates, reflections, and classroom-tested ideas delivered thoughtfully (not endlessly), you’re welcome to join.

5 Pinterest Collaborative Boards: Teaching & Education


I must confess that I am now an official Pinterest addict and I have spent more than an hour of my waking day to devote to building content of my awesome Pinterest teacher boards since its inception in November. The great news is that I'm now opening them up for collaboration!
 
What are Pinterest Collaborative Boards? They are actually boards on Pinterest that allow other pinners to pin content on the board. Yes, it's that plain and simple! I believe that I have great colleagues who are also Pinterest users (like YOU!) who would want to share pins centered around teaching and special education. Collaborative boards on Pinterest are a great way to share your information to other teachers and networkers, while also generating great back links to your blog or website.
 
My Pinterest boards are now open, please leave a comment on the latest post and I will certainly add you. Let's start sharing!
