Address The Chosen Target For The Focus Learner

|The initial assessment pin-points the learners individual needs. This can lead to additional support being

High school students can be grouped into three categories: overachievers, underachievers and those who appreciate a healthy school-life balance. Overachievers go above and beyond their teachers’ assignments, perfecting every detail of every sentence they write. However, contrary to popular belief, an overachiever is not always the most intelligent student in the class. Overachievers have tendencies to add unnecessary material to their work, just to exceed the required word count. Overachievers may also be sleep deprived or anxious because of their “workhorse” nature. On the complete opposite of the spectrum are the underachievers, those who do the bare minimum of what is required of them. These are the people you see in the cafeteria copying

This category is primarily characterized by students who are struggling with time management, and therefore, are constantly having difficulty getting to class on time. Despite the fact that they may be occasionally tardy, these students often have excellent attendance and show a willingness to learn. Unlike the high school students, it appears that these students show less of a concern with social interaction and are more concerned with getting to and from their classes.

What goals would you want to work the client on based on the information available? Explain why you chose those goals and how you think they will help meet the client's needs. Tip: remember that goals are different from case tasks and referrals you might make to benefit the client and their situation.

Based on your analysis of the focus students’ work samples, write a targeted learning objective/goal for the students related to the area of struggle.

The focus learner must use complete sentences with each restated fact. The lesson objective for this learning segment remains the same throughout the lesson, but will require the student progress minimally towards the achievement of her goal throughout each lesson, with the goal of being able to write 3-5 complete paraphrased sentence in each subheading section of her paper. The learning tasks are used to move the focus learner toward achieving her IEP and learning goals by requiring the student to read or follow along with the teacher while reading passages about the topic, and discussing with the teacher the information she has read, after completing reading. The focus learner will write down notes (facts), word for word, from the text she is reading and after completing the entire reading and notetaking she will be go back over her notes and paraphrase the facts/notes into her own grade level words. By writing notes as she is reading and then paraphrasing from the notes, the student is working towards her writing goals by being able to pick out the important information from text and putting it in her own words using complete

With the daily activities happening in their life, they are anxious to keep up. For some, even a simple task of getting prepared to attend class is a challenge. The anxiety is accelerated by the workload of daily assignments, projects that have to be submitted on time and finally the kid have to bring materials to school. After school, the teenager is exhausted and once they get home, there is little time to do homework and study. Students who lack proper organization and time management may become overwhelmed and fall

Receptive or Expressive: Is the targeted skill a receptive skill or an expressive skill? Please describe the response the student will make:

If an HP2020 objective does not support your teaching, explain how your teaching applies to one of the two overarching HP2020 goals.

I have a hard time with focusing on the task at hand rather than tasks that are not yet due. I tend to think about everything else I would rather be doing instead of what is important. I then think that I will not have enough time to complete the task at hand and begin to have trouble getting back to what I need to do. I believe that the focus coaching will help me be able to focus better on more important tasks and ultimately allow me to be more diligent.

The study consisted of Preschool aged students. Three preschool three-year-old aged students including the focus learner were selected. This study will focus on the focus learner results. Being that my focus learner works well on her own or in small group settings, at times her fellow classmates were invited to join the lessons.Students who participated in this study verbal ability ranged from low to medium skill level. In particular, my focus learner communication skills ranged from low to medium. The focus learner, Mindy, receives occupational and speech therapy five days a week. She is suspected to be on the autism spectrum and is currently being evaluated.

Thus, this system avoids the problem of students being unable to reach their daily objectives. Every day, students are able to complete progress towards one, or sometimes even both, of their assignments. This bolsters the morale of the students. There is a real sense of pride in producing something valuable and tangible with your own hands. The students that I have become close with are always happy to show me their finished products. This is a wonderful thing to see with high school students, and instills hope in me
