Generalization And Maintenance: Lifestyle Changes In Applied Settings By Robert Honor

Compare the strengths and limitations of teaching and learning approaches used in own area of specialism in relation to meeting individual learner needs.

In chapter 4 of The Sociologically Examined Life, Michael Schwalbe discusses “Relationships, Groups, and Interdependence.” This chapter covers several topics in-depth of relationships and why we categorize things the way we do.

The Adlerian Theory is a holistic view point that approaches the client as a whole, indivisible being who is capable of growth (Erford et al., 2016). I chose this theory because it provides a framework for understanding a person in his or her own environment (Dufenen, Henderson and Eckart, 2016). This theory can be applied to Deidre as well as help her through the issues that she has.

When it comes to the topic of addiction, most of us will readily agree that it is a miserable trait to possess. An addiction is a physical and psychological state of being that if not treated correctly could result into harmful wrongdoing. In The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, he recounts a story in which a fatigued housewife named Angie Bachmann lost all of her family’s assets, amounting to a million dollars due to a gambling addiction. Every habit has three components: a cue or a trigger of an automatic behavior to start, a routine the behavior itself, and a reward which is how our brain learns to remember this pattern for the future. According to Duhigg, “you cannot extinguish a bad habit, you can only change it” (63). Duhigg

1. Allows for general education teachers to help their students using a “variety of strategies”

Understanding the theory of learning will aide those servicing students in special education because they will have a better understanding of the process of it. Some challenging behavior may be typical for that age group or may be a learned behavior. While this can be difficult for teachers, most students respond positively to lower level behavioral interventions that can be implemented for the entire classroom. Positive reinforcement, redirecting, or setting clear, concise classroom rules are all easy to implement behavioral supports that can help to curb challenging behavior in typically developing students, as well as students who may have higher level behavioral

4. Is instruction differentiated? How will ELL or special needs’ students benefit from these lessons? Name the activities of which support learning modalities, gender, or cultural groups.

The field of education is dramatically changing at an unprecedented rate. For example, a greater percentage of students are identified with autism than in the past ten years. The general education teacher is becoming more and more aware of special needs students due to inclusionary practices and must adapt his/her curriculum to help all students achieve. This can be a roadblock for the general education teacher if the special education teacher is consistently relied on for help. The increase in the special education population is now requiring more educators to be dually certified in order to service all students in all situations.

The Seven Habits Analysis consists of nine categories, two of those categories make up what is considered the foundation habits from which the other seven habits are built upon. Twelve was my lowest scoring in the category of life balance, to which I expected. I have been in the business of Medical Staff functions for the last ten years, due to the demands of the job, I have struggled for the last nine years in finding an appropriate work/life balance. My position is deadline heavy. There is no room for extensions on most tasks so it is important that my time management skills be impeccable. I have had to rely heavily on the project management team to ensure that I and my team meet the monthly deadlines we are faced with; in addition to managing

Adopting the actor-oriented perspective, Ellis (2007) developed a student-centered generalization taxonomy to describe the different types of generalizations that students create when reasoning abstractly. The taxonomy distinguishes between students’ generalizing actions and the product of generalizing (i.e. reflection generalizations). Generalizing actions include relating, searching and extending. When relating, students form an association between two or more problems, situations, ideas, or mathematical objects by recalling a prior situation, inventing a new one, or focusing on similar properties or forms of mathematical objects. When searching, students engage in a repeated mathematical action, such as calculating a ratio, to find an invariance

Special education teachers are trained to work with children who have a wide range of disabilities. One of the primary responsibilities of a special education teacher is to assess her students' cognitive abilities, and modifies the standard age-appropriate curriculum to create a custom plan for the student. This plan is called an individual education program(IEP). An IEP often includes a number of social and emotional development goals as well as specific academic areas to be taught. The special education teacher’s core task is to meet each of the goals established in the students’ IEPs. In some cases, the special education teacher is located in a separate classroom. When this is the case the teacher will creates lessons geared to meet the objectives of the students’ IEPs. In many instances, special education students are placed in regular classrooms. In that situation, the special education teacher attends classes with her students. She often will work with students on life skills and behavior modification techniques as well. Skills that special educational teachers should possess include, better than average stress management, great multi-tasking abilities, quick thinking, and creative problem solving. A special education teacher must be able to think outside the box and develop an array of teaching methods and techniques to meet the needs of each individual student. Special education requires a vast amount of detailed record keeping, so it is essential for these teachers

I grew up in an extremely disorganized life style; there was very little that was consistent. My family is riddle with divorces, separations and disagreements that forced me to move nearly every year. I know firsthand what’s it’s like to be pushed, or forced out from your home. I feel for Katrina victims. They had no choice but to move and watch as everything they once had washes away.

I am going to explore the topic of having a “life less ordinary” and I’m going to tell you about a person who has had and is living a “life less ordinary”. His name is Casey Neistat.

Working with students with special needs, as teachers, we need to protect our students’ right. Special education teachers are required to keep high standards and meet best practices. According to the Preliminary Credential Competency Checklist Historical and Legal Foundation 1.4 (2014), two of the best practices that are enforced in the special education field is to individualize education and evidence-based practice (p.1). Being a teacher in a special education classroom, there is a diverse level of learners and each student has an individual methods of learning. The role of the teacher is to verify each students learning is being meet. Individualizing a lesson by making accommodiations or modification for them to learn the curriculum. Implementing evidence-based practice is using an educational method of learning that will support the students learning based on previous research that has been completed. Using evidence-based practice in a special education classroom is a key component when a student or students need an intervention to support them in the academic area they are struggling. Special education teachers are responsible of meeting best practice standards to *** students academic learning.
