Special school

activities are used to help all students understand the content and differentiate fact from opinion (Berson, Howard, & Salinas, 2010). There are also a number of pictures with captions, vocabulary words, and knowledge check questions in the reading. Special Education students can benefit from the inclusion of cognitive strategy instruction that can be used to both support comprehension and identify details and key concepts from the reading (Ciullo et al.,…

Response to intervention is a screening process used by schools to support and monitor the academic and learning needs of students. During the screening process, teachers collect data to help them identify struggling students who are failing to meet the expected grade-level benchmarks. Additionally, the data supports the educational decisions teachers make for incorporating multi-tiered intensive research-based interventions, defining nonresponsiveness to instruction, determining the presence of…

November of 2016 I walked into Buckland Elementary for the first time unsure of what to expect. All I knew was that I was required to gain fifteen hours of practicum hours observing Mrs. Kirby Parker and her precious children in her special education classroom. Special educators, “work collaboratively with general educators and share the responsibility for ensuring that students with identified disabilities will meet with success. ALL students can learn when instruction is geared to their…

Particularly in special education, “teachers have used music to alter mood and assess emotional problems” (Sze, Yu, 2004, p.2). While music can be beneficial for all students, it can be especially helpful for children who have experienced trauma. Specifically, this therapeutic…

recently been deemed qualified to coach other teachers in hopes of generating, not only better homework practices and processes, but general instructional techniques, too. Carpenter now remains, not as a teacher, but an Instructional Leader at Boone High School where she focuses on teaching teachers. Carpenter truly thinks that teachers do know how to create quality homework, but so many variables make it easy for teachers to favor shortcuts: for instance, time—it plays…

used by public school professionals to help develop appropriate instructional plans, and help differentiate between students with autism from those with other handicaps. The assessment also allows for measurement of progress monitoring. The test consists of 5 subtests which include a : behavioral checklist, sample of vocal behavior, interaction assessment, educational assessment, and prognosis of learning rate. It appears that this test is quickly scorable and a variety of school personnel…

Teaching students on the Autism Spectrum can be a difficult task for educators. However, it can be accomplished in a variety of ways when teaching students with various types of Autism. Furthermore, in order for the teaching to be effective, the learning must be differentiated for the students. Also, lessons should be modified to address the needs of each individual child. It is imperative to fully understand a child’s diagnosis before teaching them. Because Autism has several different…

Interpretation Overall the goal of the program evaluation was to contribute to the knowledge base of an understudied population such as that of children with Autism, as well as to encourage further investigation on efficient interventions. Particularly, the purpose of the program evaluation was to determine whether the expected changes in children’s behavioral outcomes might be attributed to the Applied Behavior Analysis program and activities. The presented findings suggested that ABA may…

In the photo, a baseball is being hit by a bat in a game. This photo was taken at a Gonzaga baseball game on campus (I used a profession photo because they are way better and a second photo is used to show the moment of contact which is what I am talking about). In terms of the physics in the photo. The focus of this paper will be on the energy transfer from the bat to the ball, which causes the ball to reverse directions, increase velocity, and create a launch angle to potentially be a…

widely known comprehensive intervention models is “Applied Behaviour Analysis” (ABA) and “Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication-handicapped Children” (TEACCH). These two interventions are broadly requested and implemented in schools, educators, service providers, and parents (Callahan, et.al. 2009). ABA The aim of ABA is to support autistic students in many ways (a) increase behaviours and teach new skills, (b) maintain behaviours, (c) transfer behaviour from one…
