In the article, “teaching children with multiple disabilities to self-regulate during independent work” allow students to work on their own and understand how to find study strategies to become successful in the classroom. Mithaug states “teachers use two approaches in the classroom; teacher-choice and student-choice” (pg. 22). These two approaches should be thought about in the classroom to self-regulate during independent work for students with multiple disabilities. Mentioned in the article, are phrases that should be included during instructional time to rephrases and repeat the instructions such as; “what I will do, get out next folder, circle yes, please read the directions carefully, or please raise your hand if have a question” (pg.23).
The authors went on to state that paraprofessionals “reported that they had some familiarity with the concept of self determined behavior for students with disabilities, with even lower levels of access to professional development opportunities pertaining to self-determined behaviors” (Lane, Carter, & Sisco, 2012, p. 246). Paraprofessionals are expected to play key roles in the education of students with severe disabilities, but they are not given the proper tools to complete this task successfully. Teachers, students and paraprofessionals would be greatly benefited if every person involved in the education of a child was properly trained.
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.
Mrs .Sikkema said she has foyr high achiever students and two students who are on behavioral plans (Sikkema,2015,personal communication). She also said it is important to document and observe the students so you can understand their needs. I like how Mrs. Sikkema meet the learning needs of all the children in her classroom. Mrs.Sikkema help me to do my lesson plan in a timely manner. When I observe the classroom I was shock that the students was well behaved and attentive to the students. I have a lot of expereiences implementing different leson plans which was time consumer but it help me to do be able to implemnent a lesson plan in the future. Differentiated Instruction for Exceptional Learners provides an introduction to children and youth with a wide range of exceptional educational needs. There are five learning style auditory, visual, tactile, kinesthetic, and tactile/ kinesthetic (Differeitate Instructional
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.

In order to create a learning environment where each student can effectively learn, “educational professionals and parents need to be able to understand federal requirements for individualized education program (IEP) meeting. Educational professionals and parents need to have an understanding of the principles behind the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The principles include; zero reject, nondiscriminatory evaluation, individualized and appropriate education, least restrictive environment, procedural due process, and parent participation. The article discusses the importance of these principles during IEP meetings by examining six things that should never be said during an IEP meeting during six different scenarios.
The education system today is more aware of students who face a diversity of disabilities than ever before. In a classroom, students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder are especially triggered to experience the disability due to the many physical or emotional stimuli. This disorder involuntarily inhibits a student’s control over most of his or her behavior, so this does not allow a student to experience the same quality of learning as his or her peers. In the article “Arranging the Classroom with an Eye (and Ear) to Students with ADHD”, Eric Carbone reports on avoiding predecessors that worsen the student’s disorder. Through a study on antecedent interventions, Eric Carbone found strategies to help teachers readily instruct students suffering from ADHD.
Through my observations, Mrs. F uses a Teacher-Centered model, which allows her to select the material that the students will learn (Santrock, 2008). Since all of Mrs. F’s students contain an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) it is important for her to control and closely monitor what is being taught. When a teacher has a student with an IEP it is significant to maintain the unique educational goals and help the child achieve the highest benefit from learning (Heward, 2009). In Mrs. F’s class she is able to center her students goals around the curriculum or lesson plan for the day. On several occasions, I have witnessed Mrs. F asking the student’s different questions based off a story the class read, that pertains to their specific goals. An example of this includes one child’s inability to identify colors and another child’s inability to answer “who” questions (answering the main character in the story). With constant repetition, the students are able to strengthen their weaknesses and achieve their goal(s).
Supreme Court Justices are known for interpreting the Constitution. They are seen as leaders who know what is constitutional and what is not constitutional. Their interpretation of the Constitution is known as law throughout America, and not many people choose to oppose their decisions. Their word becomes the law, and their law reigns. When the justices are told to make a Constitutional decision they have one of two processes. They can either make a decisions from judicial restraint or judicial activism. While both methods are effective, judicial activism allows for a more fair decision.
Problems might start arousing when a class is crowded with students because an LSA is not able to talk and explain in a quiet environment, students interrupt and furthermore. Classroom organization strategies can have real benefits for students like John and other students with special needs. Even the planning of the floor space and the kinds and placement of furniture used need to be considered seriously, especially when a student makes use of a wheelchair like John. For example, floors that do not have a nonslip surface or no ramps can make wheelchair difficult to move. Furniture that is not placed in a proper way can block access to other things or materials such as computers and make mobility difficult for John. In addition, stationary and books that are too placed too high up may prove inaccessible to John. The design of the classroom should be predictable to make it easy for John to interact more with his peers. This can be a problem when one makes major changes without first taking into consideration their impact on students with special needs. However Gardner says “that childhood education should not be ‘one-size fits all’. Not all children are academic but all children have the ability to learn, be successful and to teach others in their area of intelligence. As educators we need to provide learning opportunities for children that reflect their
In the educational world, there are countless programs, curricula, strategies, manipulates, and resources for teachers to pull from in order to aide in the teaching of concepts and learning of students. Whatever method(s) a school or district has deemed best practice, or adopted as their curriculum, tend to be the instructional practices or resources utilized the most by those teachers. Additionally, teachers will also have preference to teaching styles, resources, and materials they use for their students. While autonomy in any classroom is important to students’ academic growth, one must also be careful to select and implement instructional with great intention and purpose. Consideration to students needs is equally important as the mandate of teaching standards and demonstrating proficiency amongst students. Even when teaching non-disabled students, it can be time consuming and overwhelming to plan lessons so just how much more is involved when planning for students with significant disabilities (SD)? Better yet, what are appropriate instructional strategies to use for students with SD? Regardless of the instructional setting, these are considerations that must be given when teaching students with SD in order to maximize their learning opportunities to learn

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
A person with a disability, or handicap, can be defined as someone with a physical or mental impairment, which has a substantial or long-term adverse affect on his or her ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities (Employment 2). Handicap workers face many challenges in the work place that the average person overlooks. Also, many special arrangements and alterations have been made to the workplace for people with handicaps. Accessibility, transportation, workload, and salary are just some of the many issues that must be considered with the prospect of employing the handicap.
According to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, students with disabilities should be placed in a “least restrictive environment.” One of the main ideas of this act was to improve the learning experiences of students with disabilities by giving them learning opportunities outside of a special education classroom. The number of students with disabilities being placed in their general education classrooms is increasing more and more each year. The U.S Department of Education’s 27th annual report to Congress on the implementation of The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (2005) indicates that the number of students with disabilities in general education classrooms has risen to almost 50 percent. This is about a 17 percent increase from the 1997 U.S
