[nobe-l] Skills for blind substitute teacher

[Karen Palau]

I've seen classes that are out of hand use a series of clapping patterns to 
get everyone attention back in focus.  These can be very simple or complex 
in nature and kids that aren't complying with the clapping feel out of place 
or singled out.  So, it seems to work well, especially in Grades K-6.

The appropriateness of this of course depends on the age of the students in 
question; it seems to work best with those the mid grades, upper primary 
through junior high. The most tried and true method for controlling their 
behavior, if you are a visually impaired teacher, and especially if you have 
an unruly class, is a simple whistle.

First of all, let me say thank you for the ideas thus far. Also thank you so 
much for not blasting me for not changing the subject line.

As stated earlier, I am attempting to compile a list of suggestions for any 
totally blind person who seeks to be a substitute teacher. This could 
involve showing up at a new, unfamiliar school and not knowing ahead of time 
what grade or subject for which you may be responsible.

Think of suggestions into main areas: 1. Skills and items needed. 2. 
Techniques for monitoring and controlling student behavior.

Again, thank you for your suggestions!
