Welcoming a new student mid-year can be a challenge, especially when you’re balancing push-in support with your existing caseload. In this episode, veteran special education teacher Lisa Hollady shares practical, real-world strategies to make the transition as smooth as possible—for both the student and the classroom. She breaks down what works, from reviewing the IEP and creating a quick-reference IEP-at-a-Glance to building a strong partnership with the gen ed teacher and reinforcing expectations in a way that sets everyone up for success. Whether you teach in a self-contained setting or support students in inclusion, Lisa’s insights will help you feel more confident bringing in a new student and making sure they feel welcomed, included, and supported from day one.
