About the Authors Meet Shari Bithell, M.Ed, Ed.S, GATE Certified was a 5th/6th grade GATE teacher in a California model school for full inclusion. She worked with mostly GATE and 2e students, challenging them in their areas of strengths and helping them to grow and progress in their areas of challenge. Executive Functioning skills were an area that Shari felt all GATE students needed to develop as a life skill to carry them through higher education and their eventual career. Shari did eventually move on to working at the district level both as an instructional coach helping teachers to grow in areas of challenge and heading up the GATE program at her district. Although it was not recognized as a child, Shari would probably be labeled as 2e in today’s school climate. She understands the challenges of being gifted, yet struggling in some academic areas. Shari’s special interests include reading, gardening, and playing with her grandchildren. Meet Jeanine Leech, M.Ed, with over 24 years of working in special education, Jeanine knows what it takes to create the most inclusive and equitable learning environments for all students. She started in the field as an instructional aide for a child with autism and knew immediately that this was her calling. She has served as a teacher, behavior specialist, program specialist, and special education and student services director. Jeanine possesses extensive training in IDEA IEPs (Special Education), Section 504 Plans (Civil Rights), Gifted and Talented Students, Foster Youth, and Student Discipline. Her expertise as a former district employee and an advocate for families brings a unique skill set that works with families and school districts towards resolutions that are solution-focused with student’s needs at the center. ___________________________________ Copyright © AdaptEd 4 Special Ed Please purchase additional licenses if you intend to share this product.

Each poster comes in full color and printer friendly versions. As well as focus keyword posters to keep everyone on your team on the same page. Great for Independent Work Stations Why Go Core? When you teach your students CORE vocabulary, you're giving them so much more than just a few words.  You're giving them the words they need to start a conversation, to comment to a friend, or to ask for something they want, or interject into a conversation. Simply put, you're giving them the words they need to communicate. Instead of teaching your student to say- "Apple...Apple...Apple" by handing them a laminated picture of an apple. They'll be able to say- "want more" or point and say "there" to indicate where their snack is. Core words are the words we all use to communicate with each other every day. Give your students the words they need to develop true language skills, don't hold them back to simply requesting items that are in their immediate vicinity. Are you ready for the best part? Teaching core words are... way easier than picture exchange systems! No more printing/ cutting/ laminating the same set of nouns, only to have them destroyed or lost in a few days. If you're teaching non-verbal students you can use a speech generating device or the low tech version- core boards (we've supplied you with a link if you don't already have one) and you just print and laminate, that's it, everything they need is just on one page, and no more moving pieces to lose, it's amazing! We hope you're ready to switch over, and Go CORE. This packet has everything you need to get started! This packet is HUGE!  It provides a plethora of resources to your students engaged and communicating. With CORE language the focus is on getting students to truly develop their language, by understanding the words and how they are used in conversation.Get started with focus word sets.
