I go to Lancaster High School in Lancaster S.C. and the program has ruined my school by trying to help every student then you just forget about the advanced students. Some students dont want to learn and will not so you end up wasting youre time on them while the ones that want to do their best do end up being left behind or at least forgot about

You can try coffee shops in the area.  Many of them have bulletin boards that will let you post notices on them.  You might also want to contact churches; they might be willing to plug your program during the annoucements.\nIf you need volunteers, you can also contact the high school in the area.  Often, high schoolers need a certain number of community service hours to graduate, and many also want to be involved in volunteer programs to look good for colleges (and some are motivated by purely altruistic motives).

Contact your state board of education; they probably have a website you can send mail to.  If the information is not posted on the site, you can probably order it; copying or postage charges may apply.  Your local high school principal's office might be willing to get you a copy, too.

Talk with the Football coach.  High Schools are always taking volunteers.  You can also check for any job postings at the districts administrative offices.  They will also have applications there as well.

Your school should have a contract with someone already. Usually it is with either Herff Jones or Jostens. You might try them on your own. I'm SURE they have websites.

You might want to try contacting the school. I'm sure they can put you in touch with the right people.

Congratulations! Now is the time to get that Prozac prescription...just kidding!\n\nReal things to do to get ready for next year:\n\n1. Find out if your school uses a standard form or expects you to use your own for Present Levels of Performance reports. Review the district form, or ask to speak to a veteran sped teacher in your district about the paperwork requirements. The same goes for your lesson plans. Do NOT turn to a regular ed teacher for this. You MUST link up with a veteran sped teacher. The sooner you have the "templates" and "cut and paste" part of your paperwork down, the less time will be sucked out of your busy schedule during the actual school year for the routine stuff.\n\n2. Ask to look at a sample district IEP, or even better yet, if they know your caseload already, look at your kids' IEP paperwork. Get to know the paperwork format backwards and forwards. \n\n3. If you can review those IEP's now, review commonalities in individualized goals and modifications, and center your planning around linking the curriculum to those shared elements (tweaking from that point for further individual needs is easier than going student-by-student from the ground up).\n\n4. If you can get into your school over the summer, do it. Start working on organizing your classroom now. You won't have time at the start of the school year, especially as a new teacher, with the additional new teacher orientation meetings, additional sped staff meetings, and possibly incoming IEP meetings prior to the children returning.\n\n5. Did I mention hooking up with a sped teacher from your building (or a nearby building at the same level) as a mentor? Your district may assign you a "mentor," but he or she may not be special ed. If your official mentor is not special ed, you are not going to be able to turn to them for many things. A veteran sped teacher knows the ropes...the ones that are so different for us than for the regular ed teachers.\n\n6. If you haven't done so already, start to invest some of your own resources in alternative curriculum, materials, etc. Most districts either provide only a little, or no funds, for alternative materials at the building site level. Start to build wish lists and wait for the sudden "we have $100 each teacher that must be spent by day after tomorrow" announcement, too. Ensure open communication for yourself both with your school front office and with SPED central office. When I started in my classroom, I was provided with one copy each of each regular ed textbook from for each grade level (K-5), and access to the school materials closet. Excellent resources for getting the real materials and curriculum you immediately need to start things off, are your prior cooperating teacher from student teaching (if that worked out ok), and your sped colleagues. Make sure you write your name on EVERYTHING that you either buy with your own money, or gain through hand-me-downs.\n\n7. Have a clear picture in your mind about the roles you and each of your educational assistants will be playing within the classroom. What decisions will you maintain full control over, what will you delegate to them, and how will you ensure both quality services from your EA's, and their job satisfaction so that you won't have rapid turnover? Always be alert to the different support requirements between 1:1 EA's (assigned to a particular student) and EA's assigned to you as YOUR assistants for general use across your program(s).\n\n8. At the start of the school year, identify the following people, and throughout the year work on building positive professional relationships with: the school secretaries (who are the real heart of any smoothly functioning school); all therapy providers (SLP, OT, PT, etc.); the school counselor; the other sped teachers in your building; every single educational assistant whether they are sped or not (you never know who and when you'll be to

I'm enrolled in Penn Foster High School. They're a really great school. Teachers are available by phone or email if/when you have questions. You receive your textbooks through the mail and they're also available online in pdf format. You can take your exams online and over the telephone. Whatever you need, they've got it covered. Hope this helps. Best wishes!\n\nRachel  :)
