The videos spoke about our students with special needs and the issues they face. This relates to ch. 6 overall because it speaks of the difficulty diverse learners face, not just students with disabilities but ELL, language barriers.

Math menus are a wonderful idea! They can choose what task they want to complete without feeling like they are being assigned something. All levels of learners are being reached but they also have the feeling of choice and freedom in their learning experience.

One connection these videos make with the chapter 6 reading is that all students learn in a variety of different ways. In the future I want to try using the strategy Menu, so that my students can develop concepts in several ways and so I can see how all my students are doing independently.

One connection I made in the videos is that every class is going to have some sort of diversity and chapter 6 in our texts gives us a lot of strategies to accommodate all students in our classroom. In the future I will definitely use the strategies in my classroom and remember that just because something worked for one student, it doesn't mean it will work for all students.

What I took from the video is that students that diverse needs have certain ways of understanding and explaining their world. As a math teacher it's important that we learn how to communicate with diverse students and make sure we teach with high expectations of all students but also meet the needs of all students while doing so. We can do this in the classroom through accommodation and modification as long as we still teach all the same skills.

A connection that the videos made with the chapter is that they both discussed how to adapt and modify your lessons for students with special needs. I can apply this to my math masters student that has autism.

Teachers should be aware that every child will be different. No two kids will be the same, they will all learn in different ways and at a different pace. The best way to assure yourself that you are teaching the need of each student is to be open to alternative ways of teaching a lesson or helping certain kids in different ways. Incorporating different methods in a lesson.

One connection these videos make with chapter 6 reading is that every student has a diverse way of learning and teachers need to make sure that all of their students needs are met. As a future teacher I find it very important to make sure that all my students needs are met whether it's modifying a lesson or providing additional support for that student.

These videos helped provide me with ideas of how to adapt my teaching to the needs of the students. I loved how the students were able to choose their task through the math menus which in the end makes them feel good about successfully solving a problem rather then beat them selves up for not understanding.

What I took away from the three vidoes was learning how to be sensitive to the diverse needs of others. As a teacher it is crucial that you can adapt your thinking and teaching to meet studnet's needs, not the other way around. The connection to the chapter was learning how to adapt curriculum and my instruction and insight into the challenges students face.

I really liked the idea of the math menus. A lot of students I have encountered hate math and are unmotivated to persevere through difficult problems. Allowing students choices gives them a sense of control and accomplishment when they can complete what they want to be working on.

I loved the idea of math menus. It allows students to choose the task they want to do while also reaching all levels of learners. Chapter 6 in the book talks about mathematics for all students and the importance of teaching for equity to attain equal outcomes for all students.

These three videos connect to chapter six by teachers treating all students the same, even if they have a disability. All students learn differently. A future application will be to inform and model the importance of diversity within the classroom. This way students will feel safe and accepted in the classroom environment.

I found all three videos very important for future teachers to watch and especially enjoyed the World of Autism video. I sometimes forget what kids with autism go through on a daily basis. This gives me another look at how they feel and this can help in my future classroom to understand kids with autism.

Jennifer MaraThe video connects to the chapter regarding the importance of creating curriculum that provides equal opportunity for all students. This means that students who are considered to be “not typically developing” need to be provided an equal opportunity for education as their “typically developing” peers. The chapter mentions students with special needs and students who are English language learners; both groups of which deserve to be “taught to” as well as everyone else in the classroom.

The videos gave me the message that as a teacher, I need to beware of the needs of all of my students. Being aware that early intervention for Autism will be a benefit for the child so as a teacher being aware of the triggers is very important for early detection. Differentiating instruction is going to be a must in any classroom and I liked the Menus approach the teacher used in the last video it helps us as teachers get an insight of how to create these effective centers. Chapter 6 was full of strategies to meet the needs of all learners: special needs, English language learners, students with disabilities, and our gifted students. A future application will be understanding my students, getting to know them culturally, and being able to provide support for them always so that they can aim high to reach their fullest potential.

The first video where it talks about how students with Autism act and feel connects with chapter 6 when it talk about teaching and assessing students with disabilities.  As teachers we need to provide additional supports when needed.

The videos focused on the issues children with special needs face and how these children need may have individual needs. Chapter six discussed how children with special needs need their needs met by adjusting lesson plans. They both focused on creating an environment where every children is valued and respected.

Chapter 6 is all about making your classroom and equity to all students in your classroom. The chapter specifically mentions students with moderate/severe disabilities and culturally/linguistically diverse students. I personally had already seen both videos before this week. I also worked with children with autism (mild, moderate and severe) and I absolutely loved every moment. I think it is really important for people to understand what autism really means. There are a lot of misconceptions and I think the first step to making your classroom equity leveled is erasing those misconceptions from your mind. It's important to be making your classroom diverse and fitting the needs of all of your children; whether they have a disability or not.

A connection is that chapter 6 talks about math for ALL students, including students with disabilities. A future application will be getting to know my students and learning about their disabilities so I can be a better teacher to them.

I found the learning menus to be an interesting way to differentiate an activity that provides students with the opportunity to use different strategies. I thought of instruction for gifted students when watching this video because this activity provides depth to mathematics using real world examples.

One connection that these videos made with VDW was the fact that teachers need to lesson plan for a diverse group of children. There will be ELL's, GATE, and SN children. A future application would be being prepared for this situation. We need to learn about various ways to teach our diverse student population in order to help everyone become successful.

A difficulty for siblings with Autism is having to trust others to be passionate and trustworthy enough to care and to teach their brother or sister. As math teachers, we have to make mathematics relatable to all and to provide special needs students with the tools they need. A future application is to make accommodations for special needs students to help them be successful s possible.

Teachers are going to have a diverse classroom and each student is going to have their own needs with or without a disability. Know what your students needs help out the teacher and the student.

Chapter 6 discusses mathematics for ALL students including those with special needs. A future application would involve providing equitable access to the mathematics instruction in the lessons.

A connection is that teachers have a diverse classroom with students that have individual needs. A future application is being supportive and  knowledgeable about characteristics of students with special needs.

The 2 videos about autism relate to the section about providing for students with special needs. I really like the video about menus and hopefully will get a grade level where I can incorporate that during my tier 2 time.
