1. Modify the material so that the
student can do the work independently.
2. Modify the expectations so that
the student can complete the
task without support.
3. Pair everyone in the class with
a partner.
4. Model written notes for everyone on the overhead projector.
5. Check in on students periodically—walk around the room and
support all students.
6. Stand in the front of the room,
and write main ideas on the
chalkboard for all students.
7. Sit at a side table to create
modifications for an upcoming
lesson while keeping an eye
on a particular student.
8. Arrange for peer support.
9. Go to the library to find visual
materials to support an upcoming lesson.
10. Create a to-do list on a student’s
desk instead of providing verbal
reminders]]> 2019-04-12 00:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hart41/e77t6hln7i9e/wish/351010940 carolyn_hart41 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hart41/e77t6hln7i9e/wish/351011780 2019-04-12 01:00:17 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hart41/e77t6hln7i9e/wish/351011780 carolyn_hart41 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hart41/e77t6hln7i9e/wish/351012149 2019-04-12 01:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hart41/e77t6hln7i9e/wish/351012149 Observations based on guidelines in Causton-Theoharis's article: carolyn_hart41 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hart41/e77t6hln7i9e/wish/351013768 2019-04-12 01:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hart41/e77t6hln7i9e/wish/351013768 carolyn_hart41 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hart41/e77t6hln7i9e/wish/351014107 Potential Criticisms:

- Christina works only with Owen
- Owen is not depicted working in any partnerships or groups
- Christina's constant presence may be interfering with Owen's socialization

Christina seems like an excellent, caring paraprofessional and has a great relationship with Owen. It appears that Owen is working on the general curriculum along with the rest of the class. It is obviously not possible to make a true assessment of Owen's needs based on this video, but I chose to include this because she is demonstrating some of the side-by-side support tactics that Causton-Theoharis criticizes in this article. Christina could consider using some of the 10 alternatives when appropriate.]]> 2019-04-12 01:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hart41/e77t6hln7i9e/wish/351014107
