What the Research Shows mreigstad1 https://padlet.com/mreigstad1/841fw0yx977c/wish/272760931 -an overrepresentation of minorities in high-incidence LDs like speech and language impairment
-an underrepresentation of them in low-incidence LDs like visual or hearing impairment
-ELLs are underrepresented in kindergarten LDs, but by grade 3 are overrepresented
-many difficulties in assessing (instruction, diagnostics, & outcomes), including: cultural biases, lack of linguistic understanding]]> 2018-08-12 16:26:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mreigstad1/841fw0yx977c/wish/272760931 4. In Classrooms mreigstad1 https://padlet.com/mreigstad1/841fw0yx977c/wish/272761011 -not enough focus on oral proficiency, which must happen prior to reading development
-many difficulties in reading English, from phonemic awareness to vocabulary acquisition to fluency
-more needs to be done to monitor reading progress for ELLs: more, better assessments, interpretation of results, give teachers PD to utilize data]]> 2018-08-12 16:29:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mreigstad1/841fw0yx977c/wish/272761011 5. Helping Teachers Help ELLs with LDs mreigstad1 https://padlet.com/mreigstad1/841fw0yx977c/wish/272761133 -understand the "6 Stages of Cultural Identity" which go from "cultural psychological captivity" where students take in negative stereotypes about their culture, to stage 6, globalism, where they can function within various cultural groups
-understand the role of Response to Intervention (RTI), know that there is not enough research yet about role of RTI with ELLs
-provide fuller reading instruction to ELLs
-better strategies in math instruction to address/catch possible LDs in math
-better understanding of writing problems like dysgraphia]]> 2018-08-12 16:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mreigstad1/841fw0yx977c/wish/272761133
