Iep Skills And Skills

How would you address a wide range of skills and abilities in your classroom?

First, I would look at any IEP’s that I have in my class. After looking at the different IEP’s and what accommodations are needed I would look at differentiating the lesson. There are multiple learning strategies and as a teacher I will use a variety of different instructional strategies. Differentiating my instruction will include whole group instruction, small group instruction, independent work, and in pairs. Using a variety of instruction techniques will allow me to meet the needs of the wide variety of skills and abilities.

Describe the skills or attributes you believe are necessary to be an outstanding teacher.

Being an outstanding teacher you need consistency,

The most important responsibility is making sure the students are learning and engaged. The classroom needs to be place where students are engaged and continuing to learn. As a teacher, I will deal with a variety of different issues, but at the end of the day it matters if the students are learning. More than anything, it is important students feel comfortable and safe when they are learning. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to create a classroom atmosphere where students are learning in an environment that is safe.

What will you do to ensure that your students learn?

At the beginning of the school year I think it is important that the teachers collaborate and create standards that students should be expected to understand. These standards will be focused on throughout the school year. During the school year, assess and see where students are. A good way to ensure students are learning is during PLC meetings. This is a time to talk about what we expect our students to learn, how we know they are learning, how we will respond when the students are not responding, and how we respond when student already know the material. As a teacher, it is important to create expectation and assess formally and informally to make sure students are understanding what you are teaching. As an individual, I believe it is important to reflect and make sure I am teaching the material in a way that is beneficial

I will use the gradual release model, which is “I do, we do, then you do.” I like introducing a subject as whole group then moving into guided instruction. After guided instruction moving into collaboration and independent practice. This model could be seen in a math lesson where we talk about it as a group and then move to working on the math problem independently. After observing how to solve the problem we would move into solving the problem as a group. Then, eventually students would work cooperatively, then by themselves to solve similar math problems. Students need a variety of different instructions, and I need to beware of the variety of different learners in my classroom. Cooperative learning is another learning strategy you will see in my classroom. Cooperative learning allows students to discuss, explain, and analyze the different lesson/standards we are trying to teach. When learning, students should talk about the process and how they got the solution. Cooperative learning allows students to work with their peers to understand the material at a deeper
