Special Education Teacher Resources

(Cheryl Hill)

In this age of technology, we have many online websites that are available to us as teachers.  They are useful resources for students to improve computer skills, reinforce academic skills, and make learning fun.  They are useful to teachers to generate ideas, extended learning activities, and worksheets.  Some suggested educational websites for you to explore are:

Greece Central School District – A variety of tools are offered to help students engage in rigorous thinking, organize complex ideas, and scaffold their interactions with texts.  Many graphic organizers and rubrics, grades 6-12, are available to the classroom teacher.
