One useful instructional strategy that can be found on Edutopia includes teaching literacy through photography. Teachers can engage English-language learners in a task involving creating, identifying, and narrating through photographs. By using different photographs, students are able to process and organize their thoughts creatively. I intend on using this strategy in my future classroom in order to encourage English-language learners to practice speaking before writing.

This website can be resourceful when looking to get involved with the special needs community.

Chapter three of the textbook is centered around teaching and differentiating instruction. However, there is a section that focuses on collaboration arrangements in and out of school. This section of the text goes into detail about working with general educators as well as paraeducators, other school professions and families. This ties in with the Understood webpage because they each encourage positive relationships with those that are educated in the special needs area. On the other hand, they also discuss the importance of being clear and honest when speaking with families.

This website provides many helpful resources that could be beneficial in the teaching of students with a SLD. One resource that I found to be very beneficial is that this websites offers an array of teaching strategies that could be used in the classroom. One specific resource I found to be useful is when students are taking standardized tests, there are different testing accommodations that the teacher can provide for the student. For example, you can altar the location of where the student takes the test, such as taking it in a special education classroom. I found this to be important since we discussed these types of accommodations during our development of the IEP in class.

The material listed on this website has a high correspondence with the material we learned in class. It focuses primarily on specific learning disabilities and goes into depth on the behaviors the students show per disability, the evaluation and identification on the child’s behaviors, and it even discusses the eligibility a student may have for special services such as an IEP development. All of these were topics we discussed heavily in our class. The IEP specifically was a big focus in our class, as we completed the project on developing an IEP for our student based off of the case study we were given. We also discussed the different type of services a student can receive based on certain disabilities and areas of struggle. Some of these were services such as a reading specialist, a speech language pathologist, or even audiology services or interpreting services.

The website provides guidance in what to look for in a student that could potentially have a learning disability. It breaks down common behaviors and difficulties a student with an LD may have in specific age/grade levels. For example, the site suggests that students who confuse basic words such as "run, eat, want" between grades k-4 may be a bit of a concern. They then give additional suggestions for next steps. This would be useful in future teaching endeavors when faced with a student that exhibits questionable behaviors based on their age/grade level.

This particular website provides a heavy amount of content. This includes strategies, signs to look for, inspiration, tips, and everything in between. The completion of the strategies binder ties in with the website because they each provide assistance in making specific activities a bit easier for students with special needs. For example, the website suggests that if a student is struggling with reading comprehension between grades 5-8, they may have a learning disability. One of the strategies that was completed was based on reading comprehension and specific ways to help students get to their expected proficiency level. Along with this, they provide tips for parents that plan to meet with their child's educator in regards to their SLD. This has a slight connection to the work put into creating an IEP as there is much thought that goes into how to speak to parents and help them understand what their child is experiencing.
