Special Education Process
in my class
Meisi Dong
Step 1 Referral
Step 2 Evaluation
Once referred my student will be specially evaluated to determine whether he/she is disabled and needs special education services.
Evaluation is an essential beginning step in the special education process for a child with a disability. Informed parent consent must be obtained before this evaluation may be conducted. Evaluations shall be completed within 65 business days of the receipt of the referral by the special education team.
Before a child can receive special education and related services for the first time, a full and individual initial evaluation of the child must be conducted to see if the child has a disability and is eligible for special education.
Step 3 Eligibility
I will participate a team meeting with parents, special education team, and school counselors to help determine the unique strengths and needs of this student.
Eligibility for special education and related services must be determined with 65 business days after the referral for initial evaluation is received.

Helping struggling students in my classroom
Strategies from interview
Ms. Miller administrator
1.What are the signs of a struggling student?
The student who takes a very long time to transfer to the next period might lack self-motivation in studying, teachers probably need to pay some attention to who always signs in late for your class or poor attendance.
In other cases, students are also being super quiet in school or misconduct in the classroom.
2.How can differentiated instruction be used to assist students who are struggling?
For language class, teachers usually need to extend deadlines and adjust assignments or small group tests. Besides, there is some detailed information on Powerschool.
She also said the best way for differentiated instruction is to meet the needs of students.
3.How do teachers involve parents in helping struggling students?
Email parents first, or you can call them if it is necessary. If you need more help you also can let me know or contact any other administrators.

Mr.Jones school counselor
1.What are the signs of a struggling student?
Like 12 grade D in your class,who easily becomes frustrated and always tries to argue with you over the assignments, turns in incomplete homework or has difficulty following directions.
2.How can differentiated instruction be used to assist students who are struggling?
Mr. Jones gave me some examples:
If they are kinesthetic learners, they learn by doing; visual learners learn best by seeing it, auditory learners learn by listening. Just try to make sure to use diverse teaching strategies and practices to meet different needs.
3.How do teachers involve parents in helping struggling students?
Parents teacher conferences help a lot and he will ask parents some strategies that work at home.

Strategies from my teaching experience
Modify speech by speaking
Present new information and instructions orally and in writing.
Allow for first-language discussions and use of bilingual instructions orally and in circles.
Provide audio tapes of novels, texts and lectures.
Use gestures, facial expressions and body language. slowly and clearly.
Strategies for deaf-blindness
Hand-Under-Hand Interactions
The hands of a child who is deaf-blind are precious. Like the eyes and ears of a hearing-sighted child, the hands allow a child who is deaf-blind to explore, communicate, and make sense of the world around them.
Hands and Touch Strategy
For all of us, our hands serve many purposes. They are part of our communication system—our gestures communicate messages such as waving hello and express feelings such as giving a thumbs up.
Maximizing the Use of Hearing and Vision
These include medical devices like glasses and hearing aids, assistive technology, and individualized educational accommodations.
Making the most of (maximizing) any vision or hearing that a student with deaf-blindness has, will help them be as successful as possible in school and life.
