Differentiated for ELL and Special needs
Learning styles
ELL
most effective type of assessment for ELL's are performance based assessments such as observations, journals, portfolios, & self assessment
the book offers all kinds of suggestions on how to offer alternatives
involve students in performance assessment tasks
offer students ways to show & practice knowledge in non-language-dependent ways like Venn diagrams, charts, drawing, etc
assess language in nonthreatening ways like participation
teachers can help develop reading strategies that they themselves can become the assessment
have students write & read their language stories that are unique to them & assess their language skills during that as a form of assessment
Inclusion
Teaching Strategies in the classroom
Mnemonics
(Students use special phrases to help them remember information)
Graphic Organization
(Using this method, a teacher draws a picture to map out thoughts and ideas. Graphic organization can help younger students with activities like identifying the characters in a story they’ve read. This can also help them plan and organize a story they’ll write. )
Differentiated structure
( When a student struggles in one area, the teacher creates a plan that includes extra practice, step-by-step directions, and special homework. )
Scaffolding
(This is a method that breaks learning into chunks. The chunks follow a logical order and move toward a clear goal. Teachers form a bridge between what students already know and what they cannot do on their own. These bridges are referred to as “scaffolds.” They can include charts, pictures and cue cards.)
Multisensory Instruction
(This method links what students see, what they hear, how they move, and what they feel. When students learn using all of their senses, they remember the material better. Math teachers might use base ten blocks and two-sided counters so that students learn through touch. Drawing might help students learn new vocabulary by capturing the meaning of a word and sketching it.)
Special Needs
What are good examples to help a student with special needs:
Changing teaching methods to match learning styles.
Having extra time
Some times not having to complete as much homework as others, but paying attention to not make the person feel less capable than others
Feeling safe, knowing that the teacher knows about the issue and will show understanding if I ask many questions
Being able to watch videos instead of reading
Being able to hear what I was reading (like in English)
Using flash cards is what works best for me to memorise (for example science)
Using templates to follow processes (for example to structure ideas or make paragraphs)
Mindmaps with images
For some tasks, listening to music
Using an iPad first and a laptop later. Big time! Soooo much better than writing by hand.
Breaking tasks into small steps, so that we can focus better
Big and colourful fonts
