Classroom Jobs

Promote the classroom community with these ideas of simple jobs in the classroom!

This activity has been revised and was originally created by Charlotte Cushman and published in the Perkins Activity and Resource Guide (1st edition, 1992).  The second edition is available for purchase.

Developing an awareness of their community is the first step for students with multiple disabilities to integrate into that community. By performing simple jobs in the classroom, students will increase their sense of responsibility while becoming aware of their classroom as a community. Lessons include Social Skills, English Language Arts, Orientation and Mobility, and Independent Living Skills.

Hints: Toxic cleansers and plastic trash bags should be avoided with students who mouth things. Encourage students to help actively with jobs in their homes or residential units.
