Open and Distance Learning and Development - Back to basicsguest7322bb
We live in a world where the potential of technology to offer new ways of learning and communicating is seemingly limitless. It is exciting. It is empowering. Technology holds out the promise that education can reach people and parts of the world previously denied access. Get the technology out there and educational provision will be scaled up and children from the developing world will have the access to learning so long denied to them. Vast amounts of money are being spent promoting this view. Many careers are being built. Many reputations are being made. But can this happen? Using the case study of the University of the South Pacific and my experience of working for the Commonwealth of Learning I want to argue that this a dangerous fallacy. Sadly the promoters of this approach have forgotten, or ignore, what practitioners on the ground know so well. ICTs like educational media and the simpler technologies of blackboards and chalk are merely tools. If these tools are to provide ongoing sustainable provision, (long after the development agencies and personnel have moved on to the next “sexy” topic), attention has to be given to long term engagement with the need to build on the ground competent educational institutional leadership and management and institutional operational capacity at all levels. This will not happen overnight. In failing to address these issues we are promoting a model of technology in education in the developing world as the difference that makes no difference, the change that brings no change.
Open and Distance Learning and Development - Back to basicslentell_h
This document discusses open and distance learning (ODL) in developing societies, using the University of the South Pacific (USP) as a case study. It highlights some key challenges with ODL including cultural and linguistic diversity, inadequate educational resources, and balancing local and international needs. It also notes that while technology is important, ODL requires a holistic systems approach with leadership, planning, quality assurance, and partnership. Successful ODL implementation depends on addressing these basic factors, not just focusing on technology.
This document discusses the First Year Experience (FYE) program at College of the Sequoias to address the needs of its diverse student population. It notes that 47% and 31% of students test into developmental math and English, respectively, and over 70% receive fee waivers. The FYE program focuses on developmental English and math courses through learning communities. It has expanded from 6 communities in 2007 to a planned 12 by fall 2009. Initial data shows improved pass rates and retention in cohorts involved in the program. The document advocates for additional student support services through a triage team model to help students access resources and succeed.
This document provides information about a conference session presented by Dr. Ashleigh Molloy on becoming a successful 21st century paraeducator.

CCCOER Presents: Culture Shift to Academic FreedomUna Daly
Open Education gives faculty the academic freedom to find, adapt, and create materials that are focused on how and what their students need to learn and be successful in their courses. It takes time and a different approach to your teaching practice. No longer limited by a commercial textbook’s outline of topic materials and lack of access by a significant percentage of their students, a faculty member can engage their students in more meaningful and effective learning experiences. Hear from faculty, an administrator, and a student who are engaged in this sometimes challenging culture shift to reduce inequity and grow our pedagogical practices.

Similar to Building the Future - One Student at a Time (8)
This document provides an overview of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and the role of para-professionals in implementing PBIS. It discusses PBIS as a multi-tiered system of support, establishing and teaching expectations to students, using acknowledgment systems to recognize positive behaviors, responding to minor problem behaviors through re-teaching expectations, and the importance of active supervision through constant movement and scanning of areas. The document also provides examples of environmental supports and small changes schools can make to improve behavior, such as adding structure to areas and increasing adult-to-student ratios.
This document provides an overview of effective vocabulary instruction strategies for teachers. It discusses the importance of vocabulary and recommends using both direct instruction methods like the six-steps of vocabulary instruction as well as teaching vocabulary in context. The document emphasizes that building vocabulary takes time and should start in early grades. It also dispels common misconceptions and provides research-based best practices for vocabulary instruction, such as using multiple instructional methods, sequencing related texts, and promoting word consciousness.
This document summarizes a presentation on preventing challenging behavior given at the NRCP 34th Annual Conference in Seattle, Washington in April 2018. It discusses why addressing challenging behavior is important, foundational considerations like determining the function of behavior, and 10 evidence-based practices for preventing challenging behavior, including using reinforcement, behavior specific praise, high probability request sequences, choice, predictability, scheduled attention, pre-correction, and opportunities to respond. The document provides an overview and brief descriptions of each strategy to help practitioners prevent challenging behavior in students.
This document discusses assistive technology (AT) and its role in bridging quality education. It defines AT as any item or system that improves functional capabilities for those with disabilities. AT can be low-tech like pencil grips or high-tech like specialized computers. Laws like the ADA and IDEA support students' access to AT. The IEP process is used to determine individual student needs and select appropriate AT solutions. Commonly used AT in schools includes word prediction, speech-to-text, augmentative communication devices, switches, and high-tech devices. Future directions for AT include advances in mobility, biomechanics, robotics, and funding sources are described.
The document discusses key aspects of effective teamwork between teachers and paraprofessionals. It states that for a team to be successful, the teacher and paraprofessional must view themselves as partners and solicit input from all members. Clear communication and mutual respect are important. Role clarification is also important for the team to function effectively and reach their goals.
The document provides information about autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including prevalence rates, characteristics, challenges, and perspectives. Some key points:
- 1 in 59 children have ASD with higher rates in boys. Common characteristics include difficulties with social communication and interaction, repetitive behaviors, and sensory processing.
- Individuals with ASD may struggle with social reciprocity, nonverbal communication, relationships, and restricted/repetitive behaviors or interests.
- Perspectives from those with ASD emphasize sensory challenges, difficulties with change and transitions, and the importance of communication supports.
This document discusses trauma-informed approaches for paraeducators working with students. It notes that trauma is very common among school-aged children and often results in behavioral issues. A trauma-informed approach focuses on predictability, safe relationships, and providing opportunities for students to regulate their emotions and behaviors. Key aspects of this approach include understanding how trauma impacts brain development and the stress response, building student resilience through supportive relationships and teaching coping skills, and creating a calm, predictable classroom environment where students feel safe and are able to manage their emotions with the help of educators.
This document provides strategies for preventing challenging behaviors in students. It discusses understanding the function of behaviors, building positive relationships with students, using environmental strategies like visual supports and schedules, employing language strategies, and reinforcing positive behaviors. Specific reinforcement techniques are outlined such as using material, natural, sensory, and social reinforcers. Additional strategies mentioned include social stories, problem solving charts, transition objects, and frequent breaks.
This document discusses strategies for promoting independence for students with 1:1 paraeducators. It begins by noting some detrimental effects that can occur when independence is not fostered, such as students being unable to complete basic tasks without assistance. The document then outlines how shifting mindsets among teachers, paraeducators, students, and parents can support independence. Specific strategies are provided, including using prompts from most to least assistance and fading assistance over time. The importance of teaching students to work independently for short periods is also discussed.
