What Every Teacher Should Know About: Adaptations and Accommodations for Students with Mild to Moderate Disabilities

This valuable resource and reference provides brief, hands-on, research-based methods for facilitating access to the general education curriculum for students with special learning and behavioral needs.

This book is designed to instruct preservice teachers about challenges students with mild/moderate disabilities face in learning classroom curriculum, and to help these teachers learn how to provide accommodations and adaptations that address students’ educational needs. The book is divided into four sections: Addressing Learning Problems, Accessing General Education Curriculum, Assessment, and Content Area Accommodations. Each section beings with a discussion of the topic and explains why students with disabilities experience difficulty learning, followed by several suggestions that address students’ specific learning difficulties.





HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS FIRST EDITION:
All accommodations and adaptations discussed in this book are research-proven to be effective for students with disabilities.

Many of the suggestions listed in each section are illustrated with examples of how teachers can implement the suggestions in their teaching.
Suggestions for culturally and/or linguistically diverse students are included throughout the book.
An Appendix provides lesson plan examples for each section of the book.

We were met by Kate and kerry and interviewed by Jamie and Louise.
12 noon we got the bus 60 into Cardiff where we walked to Greyfriars Theatre to get the X43 Sixty six bus at 12.55, driver Charles, to Brecon.
We had not seen much of Brecon before so we walked to Cathedral and on the promenade. I was stopped by several people who had heard us on Radio Wales.
3.55pm we got the 704 Stagecoach bus to Newtown, driver Simon, where we had time for Goldie to play on the grass.whilst waiting for the 6.15 Tanat valley bus, driver Dave, to Welshpool.
I was surprised to find Welshpool, on closer inspection, rather a run down place with little or no accommodation - what there was was fully booked!
Our last try, at the Westwood Hotel, gave a glimmer of hope; Titch rang the Pool Quay Powys Arms where Derren and David Jones said they had a room for us at ?25. result!
Titch told me it was just a short walk along the canal bank - a couple of miles. That was possible before dark, I thought as we set off.
It was a lovely walk along the canal bank in the gathering dusk. We strode on and on - Goldie having a lovely run. As it grew darker and the canal towpath became more difficult to negotiate with the undergrowth, a tinge of fear that i had gone the wrong way crept in - we had been walking nearly one and a half hours by now and it was really dark. I thought one of us would fall in the canal. then Goldie started barking madly and as i came up to her I could see a sinister figure up ahead in the gloom.I stepped forward, determined to pass this awesome figure - on closer inspection it was a wooden figure of a man!
In the gathering darkness a light shone far ahead and we quickened our pace. I could see what might be the pub, but how to get to it? I fumbled about in the dark and found a fence which we climbed over and we felt our way down a field to the road. The Powys Arms!
A lovely warm old coaching inn.David met us at the door - he was just about to send out a search party! We were given a cosy warm room with all the facilities one expected and much more - even a torch which I used to retrace my steps to find the collecting box I had dropped when negotiating the fence in the dark. Late as it was a good hot meal was provided and at last we could go to bed.

It's Thursday, officially the day when everyone takes down their Christmas tree. As a celebration of this I thought I would make the most of this small gingerbread house I was given. Unfortunately, it takes horrible!

Written by recognized experts in the field, Assessment Planning for CLD Students details effective classroom assessment practices for and usefully organizes recommended strategies around the four critical dimensions of the CLD student biography.

This classroom-ready resource intentionally focuses on those classroom assessment practices that will prove effective with CLD students and useful to preK-12 teachers of those students. Unlike its competitors, the book begins and ends with practical assessment strategies for each of the four critical dimensions of the CLD student biography: the sociocultural, linguistic, academic, and cognitive dimensions.
