Instructional technology may be available to help students with a learning disability improve their weaknesses while also being able to use their strengths. It allows opportunities to help personalize the lesson for the student. It helps provide the students with accommodations that will help them succeed in the classroom. It makes teaching students with learning disabilities easier due to having an easier opportunity to help personalize the lesson to meet each student’s needs, which may be difficult in a large class otherwise. Instructional technology becomes a helpful resource to meet every student with a learning disabilities needs.…
He was be put in the low level of class, but he did not try to complain with the manager of school. He tried to fit in the class, and find out the reason why this is the low level of class. He talked that there are still some unfair in school. If everybody can be faired in school, and teachers gave the same patient with them. Everyone can be a good student.…
To introduce the concept of order of operations to the students I would first write PEMDAS on the board which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction. I would put brackets around M and D, and A and S, to show that they are grouped together in the order of operations. “One misconception by students is that all multiplication should happen before all division because the multiplication comes before division in the acronym. In fact, multiplication and division have the same precedence and should be evaluated as they appear from left to right.”(NCTM) I would explain to them that we are going to go over a few expressions using the order of operations then we are going to play a game of bingo using the order of operations.…
Take a look at a typical elementary classroom, there are blank walls, straight rows of desks, and the teacher's podium is place at the front of the room to show ownership or authority. That is it. Now take a look at a 20th century schoolhouse classroom. It has the same basic feel to it as the classroom from today has. With the changing of our culture and technologies, there needs to be a change in our classroom settings as well.…
*In case you're wondering, the title refers to some training we once had from an education board representative who earnestly told us that that we shouldn't be using the term 'brainstorm' any more. Because, and he honestly said this out loud, he felt that it was 'offensive to epileptics' and the supremely arsey 'thought shower' would be much more politically correct. Yes indeed. Rather than letting us get on with the business of actually imparting knowledge, many government officials think this kind of gubbins is a good use of our time. The same bloke also mused, out loud, for half an hour on whether 'disabled toilet' shouldn't be changed to 'lavatory for the challenged'.…

Introduction Working in 7th grade literature the curriculum sets up the critical analysis used throughout the child life. While many concepts of basic literary devices; plot, characters, and settings have been instilled in these children the teachers takes it further this year by not only requiring more advanced and extended reading materials, but also define more literacy concepts. 7th Grade is also the generally acceptable age where children can start to handle more mature topics, and easing them into these with stories can prepare them for higher learner. This project is formed in mind for students coming from a diverse backgrounds, meeting the needs of students who may be behind several reading levels, and pushing those who are further ahead.…
Reflection Wheel Journal Name: Abby Stanfield Date: November 6, 2016 Course Name: EDUC 705 ESL Methods Reflection Wheel Journal #2 Event(s)/Behavior(s): 15 points This past year I had a “Wow” experience when a group of my CLD students did not understand sequential terms. As a fourth grade instructor, we teach sequence by using transitional words in writing and identifying time order when reading. When I teach sequence by using transitional words, I create an anchor chart that groups different sequence words.…
Effects and Outcomes of Assistive Technology for Students with Learning Disabilities Introduction The conversation I hear among some teachers and parents regarding the use of assistive technology include the following complaints on limitations and disadvantages; the negative affects using technology has on students' attention span, seeing technology as entertainment and not as a tool to learn, the cost of technology, students relying too heavily on it, and that teacher training is time-consuming. Assistive technology is a tool used to help improve function in areas such as communication, mobility, relationships, education, and self-care. Types of assistive technology more related to students with learning disabilities range from…
On November 28, 2017, I spent my fourth day with class 3-213 at P.S. 45. During this time, I felt I was able to confidently encounter, converse, and assist the children with varying subject matters. At this point, the children even felt comfortable enough to ask me for help. Additionally, my cooperating teacher, Mrs. Jessica Diaz, is still extremely helpful and even allows me to teach the students in small-groups. By working in small-groups, I have been able to facilitate learning on an individualized level.…

Student engagement is an important concept in learning. It refers to attention and interest in what is being taught (Strong, Silver, & Robinson, 1995). It increases academic achievement and active learning (Strong, Silver, & Robinson, 1995), Students must be motivated to learn in order to be engaged. Without motivation, students will be disengaged meaning they will lack interest in the class and will not be motivated to complete tasks that are imperative for learning (Strong, Silver, & Robinson, 1995). According to Taylor & Parsons (2011), high school students who are disengaged are more likely to drop out which makes it imperative that students at an early age are kept motivated to learn and interested in what they are learning.…
Escalante instructs the filled classroom to sit at a desk or against the wall. Swiftly, he establishes English language learners from English speaking learners and assigns them first row seats. Also, students demonstrating inappropriate behavior were spoken to in private to ascertain the cause for the misconduct. In addition, Mr. Escalante utilized classroom aids such as apples, a knife, and a hot dog vendor hat to promote differentiated instruction (“Teacher,” 2016). Anyhow, within a quarter of the way through the movie the students are divided into two groups.…

I would argue that the main point of this chapter is that schooling has not been focusing on teaching students how to reflect, to critical think, and to judge the things they think and do. In addition, hegemony is a silent method of social dominance and subordinate groups seem to accept it without notice it. McLaren explains that critical pedagogy defines ideology in a way, in which we view the world with certain values, ideas, and beliefs. This gives our social and political life a meaning and common sense. According to McLaren, society develops this ideology unfairly.…
