The instructional shifts in ELA, paired with universal design bring new meaning to specialized instruction for students with the most significant disabilities. kanika_dorsey https://padlet.com/kanika_dorsey/adwuvz3p4axm/wish/127624779 2016-09-30 18:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kanika_dorsey/adwuvz3p4axm/wish/127624779 Hello! kathleen_hildebrand https://padlet.com/kanika_dorsey/adwuvz3p4axm/wish/127718186 I have to confess, this is my first experience using padlet. ]]> 2016-10-02 11:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kanika_dorsey/adwuvz3p4axm/wish/127718186 cheryl_adamchik https://padlet.com/kanika_dorsey/adwuvz3p4axm/wish/127747134 First time using Padlet & I think it's pretty cool. I'm a sped teacher who's only taught those with significant cognitive disabilities - until now! My goal is to learn as much as I can from trainings & others to help me meet my new students' needs.]]> 2016-10-02 19:31:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kanika_dorsey/adwuvz3p4axm/wish/127747134 chipkinr https://padlet.com/kanika_dorsey/adwuvz3p4axm/wish/127764697 I'm not sure I understand the question about using the ELA shifts. I thought the shifts meant, for example, incorporating more close reading and text-dependent questioning. I am doing those things, so I guess that means I'm using them?]]> 2016-10-03 00:58:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kanika_dorsey/adwuvz3p4axm/wish/127764697 galarzam https://padlet.com/kanika_dorsey/adwuvz3p4axm/wish/127885193 My co-teacher and I are spending more time on particular texts due to close reading. We are using more "every pupil response" techniques and group work due to the MCCRS. ]]> 2016-10-03 14:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kanika_dorsey/adwuvz3p4axm/wish/127885193 I am infusing citing text evidence to support answers in classwork & assessments.  Chunking excerpts of text for close reading, and also choosing to do more collaborative based assignments. agnoluttos https://padlet.com/kanika_dorsey/adwuvz3p4axm/wish/127889867 2016-10-03 14:26:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kanika_dorsey/adwuvz3p4axm/wish/127889867 janna_orons https://padlet.com/kanika_dorsey/adwuvz3p4axm/wish/127929356 We are incorporating technology more, and are focusing more on "deconstructing

However, I do like it. 
As for the instructional shift in ELA, I do go into a lot of classrooms and see more technology being used, more differentiation in terms of reading books, and more specific reading strategies being addressed individually, rather than as a whole group. ]]> 2016-10-10 15:59:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kanika_dorsey/adwuvz3p4axm/wish/129557004
