Sharing Resources and Information

Now that you have learned a little bit more about what you can do to support students with ASD in your classroom, post a useful resource you found, an "aha!" moment you had, or something that you tried out in your class that worked really well. This is a great chance to see what your colleagues learned while they explored various resources.

MATH!!!

Guys!! This video helped me understand UDL so much and will help me brainstorm lessons for the future. It also was like woah... because finally a MIDDLE SCHOOL representation video and in MATH AANNNDD it's exactly what the students are learning in 6th grade math right now. I would love to have emailed this teacher and gotten the lesson plan/worksheets/tools from her and do it in my room too.

UDL

I liked the way this video explained UDL and how it's about predicting "variability." Providing more options allows us to reach more types of learners.

UDL in practice

I thought this video was an excellent way to actually demonstrate UDL. The aha moment I had while watching this was when the teacher was talking about all the different ways students could complete the assignment even down to offering different types of mac n cheese for the students to choose from so they are engaged/interested in every way. This challenged me to think about all the small ways I can create more options in my lessons.

Movement

While I had always allowed for students to take breaks during keyboarding by turning off their monitors and standing/stretching for 30-60 seconds, I needed to add in an option for some extra movement for a few of my students this year. To do this, I let them know that they could walk around the classroom following the main walkway or walk around our table in the front. It made me extremely nervous to have kids move around the classroom, but the payoff (for every student) has far outweighed the handful of times that I have had to give a reminder about being purposeful with our breaks. The students who need this movement because of ASD blend right in with everyone else in the class.

Height of Triangles

I also enjoyed the math video! I think learning about height has always been a challenge for some 6th graders in our first unit. I loved the way she used human heights and what was and wasn't a height to explain the height of triangles. Using pictures allowed access to the information for all students, which was awesome as well and I'm sure led to some awesome discussions.
