  Case: SPED, IEP, and RTI
85% of my class is either SPED, IEP, or on Tier 3 in the RTI process.I am so overwhelmed with the new Georgia Milestone coming up. I teach third grade, and we have constructive response questions this year. I get excited when they write a complete sentence. We are working hard to use evidence from the text and get their stamina up for reading, but the students become so overwhelmed and shut down. Does anyone have any advice for me?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First of all, and I know you already know this, but never let them see you sweat. I am in the same boat with my 9th graders and I have tried really hard to always use very positive and encouraging words when it comes to this topic. Perhaps only spend small snippets of time on this type of assignments. Create constructive response questions that are related to something in their lives and not solely the reading passage before them. When a shut down occurs, sneak in an activity that gets them up on their feet, engaged in a physical activity and then have them jump right back in. Also, see if you have have a yoga instructor come visit. They might have strategies to help your students relax, and relieve stress. They also can help set a tone for the classroom that encourages a more relaxed state and allows the students to face the writing with a breath of fresh perspective.
