Teaching our students with learning disabilities requires specialized instruction from a specialized instructor. Special Education teachers are able to masterfully design lessons that include an abundance of multi-sensory tools because as we know - this is how our students with learning disabilities learn best. But now all teachers are being asked to instruct from their computer screens, and multi-sensory instruction seems virtually impossible - pun intended! I’m sure this won’t surprise you, but - teachers are amazing! They have been able to transition to distance learning virtually (pun intended) without any professional development and little to no distance learning resources. But what we do continue to have are goals for our students. We will be able to … -keep our students’ skills fresh -prevent regression and -stay connected Even virtual relationships are important!

Do you have a progress report template or suggestions for the end of the year? Every year I am searching for something that can be easy and to the point, like a checklist of reading and writing skills for each grade 1st through 5th. It would have a short summary of the skills that are typically achieved by the end of the school year for each grade level. Then the parents would know what the student still needs help in learning.
