Five Best Tips For Building Target Collaboration
1. Foster Culture of Collaboration
One of the foundational ideas of creating a collaborative environment is that every educator is on the same page. They must have similar visions and ideas which is to help special needs students by creating an inclusive learning environment collectively to ensure the growth and unlock the true potential of special needs students.
2. Having Understanding Student’s Potential
Every educator must need to have the belief that every child is special and has a different set of abilities, skills, and qualities. Educators need to replace the backward “ableist system” and make the learning environment more inclusive.
To achieve inclusivity in the classroom, educators can acquire a holistic and multi-disciplinary approach understand each child’s unique learning abilities, and craft a curriculum in such a manner so that every child engages with the learning process.
Educators can also consider tools and strategies to create an inclusive environment for their special needs students, like-
3. Form Professional partnership With Educators
Educators need to work together by having trust in each other and developing programs in a way that caters to the diverse needs of special needs students. Educators can form strong relationships by listening to each other, sharing their workload, and appreciating each other’s expertise in the teaching profession. This will help educators to develop precise individual education goals for every special need student with the help of other educator's expertise to support in their learning journey.
4. Align Goals & Maintaining Consistency
Educators can guarantee coherence and alignment to incorporate customized programming in various contexts by ensuring coordination and communication for consistency. For a teacher who recognizes the reasons behind a disruptive student's behaviour, a well-executed behavioural intervention can work wonders.
However, if you implement that intervention with every teacher the student has in every class, you will witness their success. In many schools, coherence is lacking, and students with disabilities are the ones who suffer because they are left to manage up to ten different teaching philosophies from ten different teachers—the majority of whom have never had the training to understand how their disability affects learning—on their own. There are adults in the school who can assist with any pressing need. The key factor is to tap into every educator’s expertise.
5. Connect With Student’s Families
To empower children with special needs learning process, it’s a good idea to take a team approach and connect with their families with empathy. You can encourage families to engage and participate more by giving feedback in the school, keeping operations transparent, making them feel heard, and showing them their feedback is valued.
