In lesson 4 I learned about SMART goals, Individualized learning plan, and the different kinds of disabilities
In lesson 3 I learned a lot about the different ACTS like ADA, ESEA, IDEA, and NCLB
Lesson 4
Lesson 3
Lesson 11
Lesson 6
Lesson 12
Knowing these ACTS helped me gain a knowledge that students should get the best quality education and I as a teacher need to be open to making accommodations for my future students
As a teacher it is very important to learn about the different kinds of disabilities my future students may have so I am able to help reach their goals and how to best teach them to become successful
In lesson 4 I learned a lot about reviews, goals, re-evaluations, and objectives. Some that I learned about were Three-year reevaluation, Short-term objectives, Annual review, and Annual goals
Knowing these is a very important aspect of being a teacher because we need to be constantly making sure we as teachers hit our goals as well as our students goals.
In lesson 5 I learned a lot about co-teaching, collaboration, and consultation
I learned that it is very beneficial to be discussing things or teaching with fellow teachers because it brings in new perspective and that will benefit the students
In lesson 6 I learned a lot about tests, assessments, and placements. Like Norm referenced, Psychological tests, Curriculum-based assessment
From these concepts I learned how important it is to have these test, placements, and assessments for our students because it helps show a teacher where there students are at and what needs to be improved
In lesson 7 I learned about different types of instruction, groupings, and models. Some examples are direct instruction, mixed skill grouping, and visual models
These are important aspects of teaching because students need to be exposed to different types of learning styles that come from groups, different teaching instructions, and seeing models to help their learning increase
In lesson 9 I learned a lot about abuse, neglect, and syndromes. For example, Fetal Alcohol syndrome, Child abuse, and child neglect
I will be using this knowledge as a future teacher because it is also important to get to know the students life outside of school because it effects the students learning
In lesson 10 I learned about maps, diagrams, and organizers. For example Advance organizers, Concept diagrams, and Concept maps
This is an important skill to show students because a lot of learners are visual learners and these maps, diagrams, and organizers helps students learn a concept that is adapted to their learning styles
In lesson 11 I learned about self stratgies that students should be doing. Some examples, Self-advocacy, Self-determination, Self-instruction, Self-monitoring, and Self-questioning
This is important for teachers to incorporate because we want our students to be independent and not only to rely on the teacher. It is important to teach independence so our students won't struggle in life outside of school
This is important for teachers to be open about because each student we will have will be different, have disabilities, and etc. As a teacher wee need to adjust some things so that those students can be successful in reaching their goals
In lesson 12 I learned a lot about assessments, alternatives, and modifications. For example, Alternative test site, Performance-based assessment, and Differentiated report cards
In lesson 13 I learned a lot about dicipline and behavior plans, strategies, reinforcements and etc.
I will definitely be applying those things as a future teacher because if a teacher doesn't know how to respond to those things then there won't be much successful learning in the classroom.
