Ice Breakers

One favorite ice breaker I have seen used in a variety of settings is the Question Beach Ball.  Basically blow up a beach ball and use a Sharpie to write questions for students, children, or youth.  The object of the game is to throw it to a person (and that may be a statement on the ball - who to throw it to next) and the person has to answer.  This can take a lot of time or not, can be done in a series of meetings, and in any size group.  They key is to find the right questions for the age group of students.  Here is a link to one site that has questions: http://www.residentassistant.com/games/icebreakers/beachball.htm

Inclusion and differentiation are frequently-used words in the education field for teachers and administrators trying to meet the needs of all students in their classrooms and schools.  The authors are not only professors at the university level they also are professional development speakers that provide consultations with schools.  Differentiation has not always been taught to educators and this book provides the opportunity to help educators learn a model to assist students in their classrooms to be more successful. Our administrator gave this books as a summer reading suggestion to our teachers so they could understand how to teach to all students.  It’s unfortunate that many teachers don’t understand differentiation in their classrooms.  As a special educator, differentiation was widely discussed...
