I'm almost 16 and am an IEP student with Autism. Even though I plan to work in the field of Web Development, I volunteer, working with kids between PreK and Elementary at my church. What an excellent teacher! God bless your heart.
Awesome job Mrs. Kelley! I am currently contemplating a degree in special education. I feel that everyone can learn and should have the same opportunity to be spectacular! I am very inspired by your video and your passion. I even want to learn sign language after watching your video. :) Please continue to share your gift with everyone and continue to capture the hearts of your students. They will never forget you. You are a true inspiration. May God continue to Bless you!
I love your passion for teaching and the love you have for your students! You inspire me to be a great teacher! 😀 I am working on my Master's degree in Elementary Education! 😀
I graduate in a week with my degree in Special Education. Next school year, I will be teaching K-2 self contained special education, and I hope that I am able to teach like you! This video is very inspiring!
I love this video. I wish we could have more teachers like Mrs. Kelley. All the technology is just great for children with special needs. School districts should get up to date get informed in all this new technology. Many blessing to the teacher and the children.
I remember being in a classroom similar to this. So relatable. When I was in kindergarten, I was in PM kindergarten, but I did not spend the morning at home watching Nick Jr. 😁 I spent the morning in a special needs room and I remember my teacher and my classmates in the room going over the rules and the date. Oh yeah, and I loved Starfall! :)

Oh my god . Great hardwork Good techniques T.L.M is good All the very best Do more help for poor special child in yr free time because they need a good teachers like u . Allah bless u . Lots of love From INDIA
I am also inspired by this. Not only I have autism but I am currently a writer and planning to not only write horror books but also inspiring stories. Like for teachers or people like me to read to know their's others like them or even for young students
I really love your videos . I’m working on becoming a special needs teacher. And this really helps me learn how to work with these kind of kids . I always wanted to help special needs kids since was little
You honestly are the teacher I look up to becoming when I become a middle school special education teacher. This is absolutely perfect, from the storytelling to the quiz with Kahoot over it! We use Kahoot all the time in my high school. I had never thought about using it in the Special Education Classroom. But it is an amazing idea! Do you have any tips for someone wanting to become a Special Education teacher?
Hi Abby! Thanks for watching. That's exciting that you are pursuing special education. Our kiddos need good teachers. My advice would be to intern a lot and see where you best fit. I hope your college program has that integrated into your study so you are able to see all the different types of SPED classrooms. Good Luck! I look forward to seeing you video on here! :)
That made me want to cry happily. Knowing someone is looking forward to seeing videos on my page. I'm not the best with people, so I'm kinda scared about it. But it's people like you that give me the little bit of courage to try it out.
this is so heart touching. this can be the best job in the world. perhaps even better than being a doctor or a lawyer who just want to rip off people and make money like machines.
Hi Ashley! Would you be willing to share the folder worksheet you assign points to your students? I am looking for something of that nature to use in my class, I would love to see a template to work off of. Also, do you have links of your class rules and daily schedule pics? Did you create them or purchased them? I love everything about your class!
This was seriously so inspiring. This is my first year teaching special education. They are considering making my classroom a life skills classroom next school year. I saw that you're no longer teaching due to the military, however I would love to ask you some questions and get some suggestions. You did a wonderful job!
Hi Ashley! I love your videos. They are truly inspiring! I am deciding between an Early childhood/ Special Ed master's or an LBS1 program. What age group do you teach?
The video is awesome. I am getting myself ready for next school year and your video has me excited. What program are you using for your reading comprehension lesson?
Hey Ashley do you have any tips for someone who is studying early childhood development .and I wish your were my teacher when I was in school I have special needs I am a special needs college student
I am currently a preschool sped teacher and will be taking over a kinder-1st self-contained classroom. I am so excited.... I was a regular ed teacher for 10 years. I decided to switch to sped. and I will never go back.
Hi ! It will be my first year in a self-contained classroom. Where did you get the visuals for the classroom rules and what website has the days of the week and calendar activities for the Smartboard?
Parneet Kaur I'm so excited for you and your new adventure. I used Boardmaker for the rules and starfall calendar for the days of the week/calendar time. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
+Olivia Flores I'm using the website getkahoot.com that allows students to be interactive via an iPad or computer. The teacher creates the quiz or uses an existing quiz and the students use the game pin on kahoot.it. Sometimes I read a story my students ask if we are going to play kahoot. It's so fun! Sometimes we play disney trivia just for fun!! :)
I'm a special ed teacher who just moved from resource to a self-contained class this year. I love your class's structure and routines! Would you be willing to let me pick your brain at all? :)
Do you have a math curriculum you follow? Also....do you teach all of your math groups and have the para professional work with students on independent practice or does she teach the same group daily? My classroom seems very similar to yours in terms of range of abilities and I am looking for new ways of doing things. Thanks!
Natasha Boysal i actually don't have a math curriculum which makes planning difficult. But I put my students in ability groups and plan according to their goals and skills. I typically plan the same lesson that is scaffolded to each group. I teach one group and then have my paras teach the other groups. I have worked with them extensively on how to teach and I monitor through out each lesson. Once I get my group working independently or on an activity I walk around to the other groups and see how things are going. That's usually when I will model for my paras too. It's taken a while for our team to get the hang out it and it's a team effort. I'm the coach and they are my players. We work together for the same goal and learn from one another. A math curriculum I have used in the past at a previous district was called Equals and it was amazing. I pull some old materials from that curriculum that I saved. It sometimes help give direction and guidance when I'm planning off just standards. I hope this helps a little bit. I'm like you and love to find new ways to teach and grow! Best of luck to you.
Thank you so much for the quick and detailed reply. That is exactly what I do but you make it look so good :). I will check out that curriculum. You should post more videos, they are very inspiring.
I was in special education class my whole I enjoyed meeting special needs kids I felt I shouldn't been in special education class I might take longer understand certain things I always wanted be in normal classes
Did you ever have a problem finishing tasks/homeworks with some of the children who have special needs on time? Do they have separate curriculum than the general public elementary school?
Hi Jeka, Thanks for your questions. Finishing tasks was not a big problem because of the way our classroom was set up. Homework was turned in more towards the end of the year when I would send home a homework packet of what we were going over that week in class. We didn't have a separate curriculum, we used the general education curriculum and modified to meet each student's needs.
Hi Mike! That's great news about your pursuit of Special Education. It's a high need field. My advice would be to get in as many different classrooms and grade levels as you can. Intern to see where your heart lies. When you actually step into the classrooms you are able to see where you're strengths flourish. I thought I wanted to be a 3rd grader general education teacher. I couldn't see myself teaching that grade level now.

It's my first year as a Special Ed teacher. Learning so much!
She seems a lovely teacher all teacher should be like that
Naomi Ford I bet she don’t yell at kids.

There would be aides in the room and there were lots of toys! Which was fun.
Loved watching this!! I taught self-contained K-2 for 10 years!! I miss the kids You are awesome!!!
kim Lipp what happened now
This was Amazing! I am in a mainstream classroom but I have so many children needing this kind of specialised teaching.
Beautiful you and the kids in your class.
Simply Amazing!
Thanks for sharing. It is always fun to learn from other teachers.
What an amazing teacher
You are an awesome teacher!!! I love kahoot.it!!

Great job! Which programs do you use in your classroom? I see someone mentioned Starfall.

I love this video I plan on being a para educator possibly a full on special needs teacher if I get enough experience :)
Wow this video has really inspired me
Is the calendar application you use on your smartboard a free resource? If so, could you link it?
You are an amazing teacher!! I just love this video :)
Thank you very much.
Do you know what type of Special Ed. would get for middle school students in grade 6-8?
So awesome! What program did you use to have them answer the questions about the book?
Hello , Miss teacher thank you for a Great Job .
Cope fine a teacher like you ti teach my Progenitor my baby son.
Hey Ashley do you have any tips for someone who is studying early childhood development .and I wish your were my teacher when I was in school I have special needs I am a special needs college student
1:56 Yay! Starfall was my life in kindergarten.
TheConfuzzledCat I know I used to love that website
Totally! Maybe I'll go back to it one of these days.
TheConfuzzledCat
Same...good times, man.
I remember Starfall
I used to go to that website a lot when I was in elementary school
Great video! What age group/grade of children do you teach?
Really good video!
Where did you get the reading software from? Could I get it to go with more reading stories? Is it voice enabled?
Hi could you please share the link or website name for the calendar activity you use to drag n drop?
I love it
What do all the kids have? Just curious
Doing the picture with the ipad awesome idea
Ms. Kelley, can you please share the questioning software you use. Please!
I am currently a preschool sped teacher and will be taking over a kinder-1st self-contained classroom. I am so excited.... I was a regular ed teacher for 10 years. I decided to switch to sped. and I will never go back.
Were you using Star fall with your students
I really enjoyed your video. What is the name of the program that you are using on the smart board for "If you Give a Pig a Party?"
Kahoot
I love those Promethean boards. What grade levels?
K-3rd.... It's a smartboard. They are similar in technology but just different names. I've never used a Promethan Board.
this is beautiful! what grade level is this? ill be teaching special ed in lower grade level
Hi ! It will be my first year in a self-contained classroom. Where did you get the visuals for the classroom rules and what website has the days of the week and calendar activities for the Smartboard?
Parneet Kaur I'm so excited for you and your new adventure. I used Boardmaker for the rules and starfall calendar for the days of the week/calendar time. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
ideal teacher
What program do (or did) you use for calendar? This video is very inspiring. Thank you.
What quiz app did you use to do the review of "If you give a pig a Party"?
+Olivia Flores I'm using the website getkahoot.com that allows students to be interactive via an iPad or computer.

Your awesome. Is that a calendar app? Where did you find it?
Thank you, you're too kind. It's actually a website called starfall.com there's an interactive calendar that I use. It's great!
+Ashley Kelley
I remember Starfall XD That was like facebook for me when i was ltttle
Mrs. Kelly, what program are you using, the one that projects the text on the screen and the kids can answer with the tablets??
I’m going to be a special education teacher and I have special needs too
I guess being in the regular school system is overrated. This video makes me think of my years in elementary school.
I'm a special ed teacher who just moved from resource to a self-contained class this year. I love your class's structure and routines! Would you be willing to let me pick your brain at all? :)
grly5673 of course! I’d love to help in anyway I can. 😁
I'm curious how this transition went?
Ur a talented teacher

I was in special education class my whole I enjoyed meeting special needs kids I felt I shouldn't been in special education class I might take longer understand certain things I always wanted be in normal classes
Excellent video, but did you try small-group and independent workings? Obviously your whole group work is exemplary
I see often this piece especially when i feel ready give up...Do you have any advises for my classroom? my kids are very aggressive and i can move on
Did you ever have a problem finishing tasks/homeworks with some of the children who have special needs on time? Do they have separate curriculum than the general public elementary school?
