Embedded Instruction: Priority Learning Targets

Decent Essays
In embedded instruction, priority learning targets are identified, which are behaviors that the teacher will help the child to perform in hopes that learning in this particular situation will be generalized to other environments. For example, a learning target for a child with challenging behaviors may be to reduce whining and tantruming when changing centers. Then, the teacher must complete learning trials to improve the learning target. An example of a learning target for the previously mentioned challenging behavior is included below. The teachers would learn how to formulate learning targets and how to carry out learning trials in either the workshop or through continued coaching. No curriculum exists for using embedded instruction to

    This tool has also helped me to see that Matt would benefit from breaks from academic task to ensure his sensory needs are met in order for him to continue with the classroom activities. Giving Matt a choice in his learning I feel will help him to have more preferred activities in the classroom which will in lieu increase his on-task behavior.

I am also going to look into the academic material that Matt is given.…

    Keeping in thought IEP Goals the next question asked of Mrs. Fairchild-Romero was “What are strategies used for ID Students to help them meet their Annual IEP Goals?” She responded that it is key to make the instruction multi-sensory using direct instruction. It is important to make the instruction not one sided. Direct Instruction can be defined as a methodical technique that can be used to teach, practice and reinforce special skills (Cohen & Spenciner, 2009). It is an approach to educating students that it is skills-oriented, and the teaching practices it implies are teacher-directed.…

In other words, this approach to create a positive reinforcement and avoid negative reinforcements. The key is to be able to identify the attention, activities, and the sensory of the student’s behavior. This type of approach is a trial-error, which if one method does not work, conductors of the program can try to create another solution. 5.…

    The outcome of this discussion would be to introduce an IEP (Individual Education Plan, also called an ILP ‘Individual Learning Plan’ in other educational establishments) for that child, which will show the specific targets that are to be concentrated on for the immediate future. No more than three targets will be addressed at any one time. A copy of the IEP will be with the person supporting that child so that any notes for feedback can be added during the lessons through group work and/or individual time. One-to-one sessions may also be introduced where the main focus will be the targets set by the teachers. It is important to mention that these targets must be SMART (Specific, Measureable, Achievable, Realistic, Timebound) because once the child has achieved the targets set out for them, their self-esteem and self-motivation will grow, which will in turn have the knock on effect of…

    Introduction “The image often evoked to describe autism is that of a beautiful child in a glass shell.” (Schopler, E., Mesibov, G., 1995) For decades many parents have clung to this notion, of hoping that one day a means might be found to break the invisible barrier. Thus far, no cure has been found. Perhaps the time has come for the image to be shattered. Perhaps the time has come to concentrate, rather, on understanding the minds of the autistic.…

    These five domains consist of physical, cognitive, language, emotional, and social learning. My lesson plans start with objectives in mind when meeting all these developmental domains. My goal is to create activities that encourage a child to identify what the lesson involves, discuss openly the child’s perspective, deduce the content of the lesson, and apply the knowledge learned. I also believe that all children need the opportunity to make their own choices, even the choice to participate in learning. With this in mind, planning activities to keep the children engaged is of great importance to me.…

    If my hypotheses one and two are supported, training teachers in embedded instruction could provide teachers with the necessary tools to address challenging behaviors in their classrooms and to foster skill growth in their students. If found to be effective, this method could reinvent the way that preschool teachers are trained to deal with challenging behaviors and it could highlight the importance of professional development opportunities for teachers. Above all, if this method is found to be effective, outcomes could be improved for children that would have previously been ignored, punished in a reactive manner, or even expelled. It is important that we realize that challenging behaviors serve a purpose for that child and are not simply…

    Every classroom is diverse. The students, teachers, and dynamics between each person set the the tone of how the class will function for the year. However, those relationships do not paint the whole picture when it comes to how a student will learn and thrive. The way in which individual children learn is unique. Within each classroom there is a wide array of learning needs.…
