I also make sure to go up to specific students, who I know struggle with transitions, and let them know that a transition is coming. For this I normally just announce that there are _ minutes left before _. I know this helps all students, but especially in a special education class it is important that your students are prepared for what is coming next, and WHEN it is coming. With that being said, I also give my students a lot of warnings before transitions. This allows all of the students to concentrate on the directions before moving. So, when the bell goes off I say, “Hands up, freeze, and look at me”. I teach my students in the beginning of the year to freeze and look at me when the bell goes off. I use it for every single transition, including switching interest areas. I have a wireless doorbell from Amazon that is probably the best thing I ever bought for my classroom. I wanted to explain how I handle transitions in my classroom before I get started. Also, if we find it appropriate, we might have a student split their day between two classes. Having the different classes allows us to move students to the class that best fits their needs at any time during the school year. The other class is an integrated class, where half of the students are typically developing, and half have special needs. One class utilizes ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) where students work in 1:1 and 1:2 ratios with teachers. In my school there are two other preschool classes. All of my students have IEPs (Individualized Education Plans). My AM class goes from 8:25am-11:15am and my PM class goes from 12:15pm-2:55pm. I have 2 half day classes that can go up to 12 students in each, and two teaching assistants. I teach a preschool self-contained class in a public school.
