Learning Strategies

Listening and Responding. It is important to listen and the pupil an opportunity to speak, so they can express their own thoughts and feelings. You should respond appropriately and you may need to repeat back to make sure of your understanding. This also makes the pupil aware that you are listening and are interested. For example in my setting I had a pupil tell me that his Dad hurt his thumb with a hammer when he was putting a picture up. I repeated the sentence back to him but also continued the conversation by asking questions like, ‘Did his Dad have a sore thumb’, and ‘Did he need a plaster’. This showed that I was interested and I was also listening. The pupil responded well and was very excited to be telling me about it.

(REQUIRED) 1c) Describe how you would adapt the strategy or activity you identified to meet the needs of the student.

Specific Learning Disability – the teacher could adapt the direct instructions and maters use during the lesson and practice time. The teacher could incorporate partner work for students to collaborate in small groups.

Explain how you can support students with the disability to learn new skills and concepts.

g. Teaching procedures: Provide a detailed description of the teaching procedures, including teacher input and modeling, guided practice, independent practice, and closure. This section must include strategies from the text and peer-reviewed articles related to effective strategies for teaching students with disabilities. You must cite your sources to demonstrate your knowledge of effective strategies.

When working with students with learning disabilities, I often rely on initial/diagnostic assessment to ensure I can provide the correct support for that student. Using formative assessment can also motivate my students, ‘Most student’s with learning disabilities respond favorably too seeing their academic progress charted, and this can become…a very motivational tool.’ Bender, 2002,

Develop a PLAN to use your chosen strategy in your practicum. Make sure you discuss this plan with your mentor teacher. Explain your plan here:

1) Explain how you think the Intentional Teaching Framework will help you learn in this course.

Effectiveness of Strategy one has been proven to be effective with consistency. This strategy will be effective when students understand what is expected and it is constantly reinforced in a positive manner. When positive reinforcers are given it can have a constructive influence on student’s behaviors.

Educating students with disabilities has evolved immensely throughout history. Initially, students with disabilities were isolated and institutionalized. Society 's perception was that it was not necessary or beneficial to invest time or resources into this group of people (Spaulding & Pratt, 2015; Dybwad, 1990; Winzer, 1998). Direct advocacy and litigations caused changes in federal legislation (Griffith, 2015; Lloyd & Lloyd, 2015). Due to the civil rights movement, stu-dents with disabilities became part of the public educational system. Our current system has evolved to the level that educators work as teams to create individual learning plans for students

Recently a friend of mine was involved in a car accident in which she and her son were hit by another driver. Although anyone was not injured, the car was not so lucky. After a few days of waiting to hear about a decision on the condition of her car, the insurance company informed my friend that the car could not be fixed and deemed it as a total lost. Upon hearing this news, of course, I was heartbroken for my friend, because I know that her car held a lot of sentimental value. It was her first car, she purchased the car without financial assistance from her parents, and she often referenced the car as her first adult purchase. After receiving her reimbursement from the insurance company, and a bit of internet research, we set a date to go car searching, early Saturday morning we set out with a couple of dealerships but no strategy to purchase a vehicle, this was a huge mistake, when having no clue as to how to

Even though there were thirteen strategies used by Lisa, I would like to focus on the ones I believe are the most important. The first one indicates that the teacher can ask the student what he needs and how she can help him, by doing this he will understand that you are working together to meet his needs. You can also ask the student to try

In your reflection, please attend to the following and cite specific examples from your student artifacts and video.

research on this test was suggested. Cognitive Strategy Training (CST) is an approach that patients talk through every steps of their task in order to retain the steps in their memory. It was an internal and external compensatory approach that teach patients how to carry out their ADL activities. The approach was done by talking through what is being done, using picture or instruction cueing, and practicing how to carry out daily tasks. CST shows greater improvement on nontrained tasks even though studies indicated that both groups (trained and nontrained) progressed. There was not much difference between the non- trained and trained tasks. Another study showed the effectiveness of gesture on improving ADL performance. Cognitive Failures Questionnaire

One thing that I wanted to know was how many people have learning disabilities so that I could have an idea of how common it is. Another thing that I wanted to know was how to accommodate a child with a learning disability because as a future educator I want to be able to help my students with learning disabilities learn in a way that helps them. For the same reason I also want to know how to manage a classroom when you have a child with a learning disability as well as how best to teach them. Lastly, I wanted to know how early a child is diagnosed with a learning disability as well as how they are diagnosed so that in the future if I sense that I child has a learning disability I can get them they help they need as soon as
