EDUC 302 Case Study 1 You have a student who is struggling with your synthetic approach to teaching phonics. Explain 3 alternative approaches to phonics instruction that you could use to help this student. Alternative #1: Linguistic Phonics Instruction, on page 231, is an approach that teaches unknown words by placing together sound-symbol patterns. For example, Dr. Seuss books use sound-symbol patterns and use the repetition of words that sound alike to teach new words. A good way to teach this to a child who is having problems with synthetic patterns, is to give them books, like Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss.
The culturally responsive classroom “specifically acknowledges the presence of culturally diverse students and the need for these students to find connections among themselves and with the subject matter and the tasks the teacher asks them to perform” by using instructional strategies which, place students into “cooperative learning groups, [an environment wherein] culturally familiar speech and events [are discussed], [and] wait time for students from CLD backgrounds [is] adjusted to enhance classroom participation and development of critical thinking skills.” (Brown, p.60,
Portsmouth Public School’s curriculum guide also includes a pacing guide to keep teachers on track. This is a useful guide for regular education teachers but as a special education teacher the pacing would have to be accommodated. Our students do not work and achieve on the same level as the “regular” education student. The writer will adapt the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL’s) to be used to teach a fourth grade class in spoken language, and first grade in word recognition. Curriculum Guide for Spoken Language Target Grade Level: Fourth (4th) Objective: The student will apply oral communication skills to participate in discussions about learning and collaborative learning projects.
SPE 226 Educating the Exceptional Learner Benchmark Assessment Targeted Essential Learning Effective teachers implement lesson plans that utilize diversified strategies to meet the learning needs of students with varying degrees of cognitive abilities. Effective teachers are able to adapt instruction based on learner needs. (APTS 3, 9; INTASC 2; CEC 4, 7) Assessment Tool Selected Project a) Accommodations and Modification of Lesson Plan b) Report - Reflective Analysis Specific Performance/Task(s) • Implement lesson plans. (APTS 3.1) • Select and utilize best practice implementation strategies appropriate to different developmental levels. (APTS 3.7) • Implement differentiated strategies that address diverse learners.
The teacher was told that the object of the experiment was to study the effects of punishment on learning. They are also told that their role in the experiment was to read word lists to the learner and the learner must remember the second word from a list of word pairs they had read earlier. If the learner got the answer wrong, then the teacher was told to administer shocks, for each answer that the learner got wrong, and the shocks had to increase in intensity. The teacher is unaware of the fact that the learner is actually an actor, and receives no shock. The experiments, involving the Undergrad students from Yale, resulted in 60
In the listening assessment I can see how well students are pronouncing words in terms of breaking down the word using syllables. When the student repeats the words that he or she heard from the audiotape, I will be able to see how well they are coming along in listening and repeating, breaking down words to pronounce them correctly and trying to spell the words based off of how they sound. In the flash card assessment, I can see how well the students are coming familiar with the short “a” and the long “a” sound. Students will understand how words are spoken and spelled by knowing the long and short vowel sounds. I can monitor this by changing the words and the vowels at any given time.

Teaching or learning outcomes In a 750-1,000 word essay, construct a plan of how these three pieces of technology could be integrated into a classroom, and how they would make teaching more effective and efficient, or would increase student learning.
TECA 1354 QTA Discussion: Metacognition Development How Can Teachers assist children in the development of their Metacognitive skills?

His main preference was for a kinaesthetic approach whilst also utilising aspects of verbal and auditory styles. This I felt was appropriate for the placement and I saw my role as mentor as being the facilitator of stimulating learning experiences. To effectively do this I was required to develop my understanding of the wide variety of teaching skills and learning theories to enable Sidney to gain the best form his time with me. There are many papers and books about the way people learn and how they are taught. Reece and Walker (2003) describe five main schools of thought regarding learning, Behaviourism, Neo Behaviourism, Cognitive, Humanistic and Gestalt Theory.
