Objective 2: Clarify vocabulary and symbols
Construct meaning from words, symbols, and numbers using different representations.

  • Pre-teach vocabulary and symbols, especially in ways that promote connection to the learners’ experience and prior knowledge
  • Provide graphic symbols with alternative text descriptions
  • Highlight how complex terms, expressions, or equations are composed of simpler words or symbols
  • Embed support for vocabulary and symbols within the text (e.g., hyperlinks or footnotes to definitions, explanations, illustrations, previous coverage, translations)
  • Embed support for unfamiliar references within the text (e.g., idioms, academic language, figurative language, mathematical language, jargon, archaic language, colloquialism, dialect, etc.)

-Allow text to speech, 
-use voicing (or write out) mathematical notation
ex.  3+(plus)4=(equals)
-Allow for easy access to multiple representations of notations ]]> 2020-05-11 20:08:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kcota1/j8ucli0rtww4svnv/wish/565958028 Language and Symbols https://padlet.com/kcota1/j8ucli0rtww4svnv/wish/565960823 Clarify Syntax and Structure

  • Provide options for student response
  • Use multiple formats to CFU
  • Use different assessment styles
  • Use of technology to enhance students' understanding

Students should have options for how they want to express themselves in class, especially when it comes to demonstrating mastery (written or verbal). This can be done throughout the lesson and can also help with students self-monitoring: with the different variances in expression, they can communicate if they've "got it" or if they need more review from their teachers/peers. ]]> 2020-05-11 20:19:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kcota1/j8ucli0rtww4svnv/wish/565980517 Providing options for Executive Functioning https://padlet.com/kcota1/j8ucli0rtww4svnv/wish/565982223 At OA, students are an integral part of the IEP process. We try to base their transition goals around their specific professional and independent living aspirations. I use tools for them (like surveys with pictures) to help them assess how well they have mastered certain tasks related to their personal goals, so they can see where they need to improve. ]]> 2020-05-11 20:20:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kcota1/j8ucli0rtww4svnv/wish/565982223 Action&Expression https://padlet.com/kcota1/j8ucli0rtww4svnv/wish/565982226 Providing different options for action and expression is essential because some may be able to express themselves well through text but not speech and vice versa. 

Because scholars navigate learning environments differently, they also need to have access to different modes of expressing what they have learned. ]]> 2020-05-11 20:20:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kcota1/j8ucli0rtww4svnv/wish/565982226 Action and Expression https://padlet.com/kcota1/j8ucli0rtww4svnv/wish/565982245 A presentation of learning:]]> 2020-05-11 20:20:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kcota1/j8ucli0rtww4svnv/wish/565982245 Action and Expression https://padlet.com/kcota1/j8ucli0rtww4svnv/wish/565982973 Provide multiple means of responding to a prompt or learning task. ]]> 2020-05-11 20:20:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kcota1/j8ucli0rtww4svnv/wish/565982973 Action and Expression https://padlet.com/kcota1/j8ucli0rtww4svnv/wish/565983200 Students are able to demonstrate their knowledge in the manner best for them - through discussion, written form, picture, etc. ]]> 2020-05-11 20:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kcota1/j8ucli0rtww4svnv/wish/565983200 Action and Expression: https://padlet.com/kcota1/j8ucli0rtww4svnv/wish/565983797 Approaching and planning lessons knowing the various skills and deficits of your students. Provide multiple mediums for acquisition as well as opportunities that foster creativity in a way that students feel most competent. When we are comfortable, we give the best of ourselves because we're in our element. This allows for greater assessment and supports. -Conner]]> 2020-05-11 20:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kcota1/j8ucli0rtww4svnv/wish/565983797 Expression and Communication https://padlet.com/kcota1/j8ucli0rtww4svnv/wish/565984276 CHECKPOINT 5.1
