Watch this 11 minute video on how to use a Consecutive Task-Based System in your classroom. the lecturer suggests creating 5 tasks for students to complete that vary in type, are short, yet challenging to complete, promotes repetition for deeper learning, and/or meets an IEP goal. The outcome is learning what a student can do, while accessing their cognitive function and  getting rid of the extemporaneous information in general education that Special Education students have difficulties understanding.  ]]> 2019-10-30 05:47:34 UTC https://padlet.com/nlj29/ii8epiv2dzii/wish/404281271 nlj29 https://padlet.com/nlj29/ii8epiv2dzii/wish/404303768 Grumbine, R & Brigham Alden, P. Teaching Science to Students with Learning Disabilities. Retrieved from https://nsta.org

Though science can be a difficult curriculum for some Special Education students to comprehend, this article discusses different teaching techniques that enhance the learning concepts for these students. Assessment of learning skills can be gained from reviewing varied test formats, oral presentations, role play of experiments, the use or graphic organizers, grade templates, and encourage varied forms of feedback throughout the year. ]]> 2019-10-30 07:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/nlj29/ii8epiv2dzii/wish/404303768 nlj29 https://padlet.com/nlj29/ii8epiv2dzii/wish/404313466 I chose to explore different techniques used to reach Special Education students for teachers/school librarians because I am currently becoming aware of these learning disabilities with my own children. I am learning a great deal about EBD and other learning disabilities, so that I can engage in the conversations I am having with school officials and therapists of my children. This project took longer than I anticipated because I wanted helpful techniques that I believe teaching professions can use with my children, as well as other children like them. The technique of  clapping or beating out letter sounds has worked with my daughter and the use of calming techniques is helping my son self-correct his behavior. I have downloaded a few apps and websites for my children to work with to help with reading, spelling and comprehension, so this mini curation project was a labor of love. I hope the point of creating a list that includes different techniques to use in multiple curricular needs comes across. Overall, if it's technology, music, supplemental materials, and/or visual techniques, the point of encouraging deeper learning in Special Education students is present in all of these techniques I have mentioned. Padlet is great for this type of curation, but I had a difficult time grouping similar topics without the other tiles moving as well. One tile was super-imposed over another, but I've since been able to remove it. This is my first time using Padlet for an assignment.  ]]> 2019-10-30 08:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/nlj29/ii8epiv2dzii/wish/404313466
