Recommended: Instructional practices for a student with a disability

- The areas of strength of Focus Student one is talking in the class discussion, being positive, and being able to talk about how this reading pertains to his disability. A specific example is the student was able to talk in the discussion and then from the discussion answer the questions with little assistance. From his work I can see he used what we talked about in the discussion to answer the questions and apply them to himself. An area that needs improvement is giving more detail or elaboration to his answers. From his work some of his answers I had to look back at other questions to see what his strengths were that he was relating to the answer.
b. What feedback did you provide and how did that feedback address areas of strength and areas …show more content…

I talked with the student privately and went over his assignment with him. I went through each section and at the end I told him what area he did well overall. I then addressed the areas of the student’s needs with him. I pointed to answers and asked him if he could explain more and he could. The last couple answers I feel could have contained more detail or explanation.
c. Based on the results and feedback, what steps did you take to help Focus Student 1 understand his or her progress toward the learning goal(s)? How did you use the rubric or scoring guide and student work to promote that understanding?
- Based on the results I will take steps to help Focus Student one understand his progress toward his learning goal. One step I will take is reminding the student to answer the whole questions and to back up his answers with facts or details. I will use a scoring guide to promote student learning by having a section that asks that will be for answering the whole question and giving supporting details or explanation. The student can then see as their work is scored if they are progressing towards answering the questions with more details.
d. How will the results of the first assessment or assignment inform your instruction? Provide specific examples of adjustments you made to your instruction for Focus Student

    Students with learning disabilities can learn; each student has his or her own strengths and weaknesses. Educators must continue to focus on the strengths of each student and building on them, creating a stronger student and person. Identifying the weakness is at the core of getting a student help with their learning disability, but after this initial identification and placement, the focus should shift to the strengths and adjusting the student’s schoolwork to reflect these strengths. For instance, if a student is weak in reading but has wonderful group interaction skills and is good with his or her hands, the students' reading tasks should then be shifted to reflect these st...

    As an educator, I have numerous learning goals for my students. In this unit, I have four that are the most significant. Students will be learning about descriptive statistics using the Engage NY curriculum. They will be deepening their understanding of descriptive statistics concepts they learned in sixth, seventh, and eighth grade. Since this is a complex topic, the learning goals I created for my students are very specific and direct. These goals are aligned to the Common Core State Standards, have measurable objectives, and also have a condition, a behavior, and a criterion.

We asked many groups and gained some great insight. The first question we asked to each group is how the lesson went and why. The students all stated that think it went well, or it went was fun.

  • Clear Learning Targets

    623 Words  | 2 Pages

    Module two explains the importance of having clear learning targets. It not only helps the teachers and students but the parents as well. Clear learning targets allow the teacher to know what exactly to teach, assess, and activities to plan. The other benefit is that it provides the students with a clear understanding of what they need to know/learn. It also allows them to self-assess and set goals for themselves. The third benefit is that clear learning targets are easy for parents to understand. If parents can comprehend what is going on in the classroom there is a better chance they will become more involved. Therefore, they can assist their child at home with their learning needs. This also provides the student with a strong support system.

    I laid out my expectations for them so they knew exactly what they were supposed to do during the activity. During the lesson, I had the students reading along and take notes to keep them engaged and actively learning. I also had the student’s contribute to the class discussion and provide input during the lesson. All of the students were following along and almost the entire class was contributing to the discussion. I made an effort to establish the purpose and explain the importance of learning the content. By starting off by explaining the purpose, the students payed closer attention. I also explained the directions in several ways to ensure that all students understood the task. I made sure that all students understood before they broke off into small groups. As the students were sharing in their group I was walking around answering questions and elaborating on concepts. After the students shared in groups, I had each group speak to the class what they discussed, I was impressed with their answers. They related Benjamin Franklin and his resilience during the time period, as well as how everyone had to contribute even

    I utilize multiple methods to monitor student understanding including asking questions that are an appropriate level of difficulty, probing for a deeper understanding for the answers, walking around the room during student work time and engaging in one to one discussions, and using the Cold Call method from the book Teach Like a Champion by Doug Lemov which is a technique of calling on students whether or not they have raised their hands. I have also taken the reflection piece required for this course and incorporated it into my own classes. Students write a paragraph reflection summary about what they learned each day and turn it in as an exit slip. I began to write my own reflections after each unit about what worked well and what did not to help me adjust future lessons. This has proven to be a valuable tool for myself and my

    Each classroom is has its own unique characteristics containing contrasting strengths and weaknesses that classroom unique from another. Every teacher in their classroom has the best intentions of helping everyone within their classroom in whatever manner you can. Yet the reality is that with various constraints for teachers, such as time and assessment pressures it can be very difficult to attend to each student needs within a classroom. Identifying a focus group of learners in your classroom can help to use time efficiently to focus on a key aspect of learning. What then becomes burdensome is identifying which group of students to prioritise as being a focus group. Through identifying a focus group a teacher will endeavour to equip as best
