Hi,
I have an interview after vacation for a middle school special education-reading specialist position. I currently teach grade 2, highest I have taught is grade 4 but I did work as an aide for a year in a high school and tutor students with ASD in middle school.
Demo lesson ideas? Management strategies for middle schoolers? These are things I need to be prepared to answer. Also, what does middle school reading look like? This is for sped, but I am assuming I will not be doing as much Wilson/phonics and more emphasis on comprehension and ELA, unless I am running guided reading groups?
I think I would enjoy the older kids with the right management strategies and understanding of the curriculum. Any insight at all would be greatly appreciated as this is clearly a big change from what I am teaching now.
