As a whole, the class had to read the book named "The Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. After completing the task of reading 'The Christmas Carol", the next thing that was required of us was to write an essay on the book. The Shakespeare book I read for freshman year was Julius Caesar. Writing an essay for this type of book was difficult because of the type of literature it was but as I did my research it became much easier. As I continued in high school, we had to read "A Gathering of Old Men" by Ernest Gaines and "When I Was a Puerto Rican" by Esmeralda Santiago over the summer and write what was required of us.

Inclusion and inclusive education are quite broad in definition, however with the support of this unit my professional understanding of inclusion has been formed by research and practices such as all student engagement, asking the question how? we can provide for diverse needs (Spandagou, Lecture 2), also Standard 1 of the Disability Education Standards (2005) identifies the need to know our students and how they learn, thus the need for personalised learning plans. The IPAA is an incredible framework, a reflective tool to assist teachers in achieving an inclusive approach to education, teaching and learning which helps to achieve standards 5 & 6 in the Disability Standards for Education (Florian, 2014, p.293). I agree with Foreman (2008) in his argument for inclusion as a concept which extends beyond the immediate environment and education to society itself. It is not ignorable the fact of discrimination and unsettlement of people around others with disability and lack of education about various disabilities and additional needs is concerning.
The overall aim is to produce learners who are confident and effective users of ICT and to ensure that teachers develop confidence and competence to use ICT to facilitate effective teaching. Pupils should be given opportunities to :- Use ICT with purpose and enjoyment. Develop their ICT capability. Become autonomous users. Evaluate the benefits of ICT and its impact on society.
Using SEI Strategies in a SIOP Lesson Plan Fawn L. Stevens Grand Canyon University: ESL 533N February 17, 2014 The class is learning about Native Americans. I am working with their science, language arts and math teachers. All the other teachers are also discussing Native Americans in their classes. Today's lesson is about the Navajo Indians. The students will be conducting research in a small group setting on some basic facts about the Navajo Indians and presenting their findings to the class when they are done.
When it comes to reading whether it is for pleasurable or learning students should understand what they are reading. During my Gen 105 class we discuss how the Sq3r can help students comprehend what they have read. The SQ3R is a technique used to develop reader from passive to active readers. Sq3R stands for survey, questions, reading, reciting and reviewing. Surveying is the first stage this is when a student picks up a book to determine if they would like to read it.
Along with positives for the students, there are positives for the teacher’s also. Teachers have a framework for understanding what students have learned or should have learned before arriving in the classroom (Gardner and Powell, 2013). The focus on skill doesn’t mean teachers should abandon the content but rather it also offers a clear framework of what skills the student should be able to do instead of what they should know (content). Common core standards are a good step in clearly defining what students need to know and be able to
1.3 Explain the characteristics of assessment for learning 1.4 Explain the importance and benefits of assessment for learning 1.5 Explain how assessment for learning can contribute to planning for future learning carried out by: a) the teacher b) the learners c) the learning support practitioner A description from the Assessment Reform Group “Assessment for Learning is the process of seeking and interpreting evidence for use by learners and their teachers to decide where the learners are in their learning, where they need to go and how best to get there” (2002) Characteristics of Assessment for Learning Assessment for learning is part of the teaching and learning process. It is essential for achieving a quality and productive teaching and learning experience. Providing the students with their WALT’s – We are learning today and WILF’s – What I’m looking for….. is a strategy that allows teachers to share the learning goals with students. Sharing learning goals with pupils will enable the student to get involved in their progress. By explaining to students what the learning objectives are provides an aim.
2. The strength of these philosophies lies in the fact they are all student centered approaches to teaching and learning. I most appreciate the prescriptive nature of the philosophies meaning that they all are attempting to increase learning and decrease behavior issues by establishing roles, routines, and norms of a classroom. I think if I can actively utilize the approaches above, I can create the type of environment that is helpful to both students and still be a place I want to work in. I do not expect that I can do it all the first year, but maybe over time I can bring in more research based applications of classroom management.
Their studies are briefly described below. Nonetheless, the continual study on digital literacy in bilingual higher education setting is needed technology facilitates instruction in which elements such as language and culture are involved (Akhtar, Iqpal & Hussain, 2010) as in the case of bilingual education. The suitable use of technology, especially computers, and the Internet, provides with opportunities to support students to improve their language proficiency both inside and outside the classroom (Akhtar, Iqpal & Hussain,
