Teacher's handout 1st meeting & workshop 2 g and teaching values ocotber ...Mr Bounab Samir
Teachers play an important role in instilling values in students even if they are not consciously trying to teach values. It is important to teach values because they help prepare students for challenges in today's society and equip them with tools for success beyond just academics. The Algerian 2nd Generation Curriculum aims to teach values such as national identity, citizenship, and openness to the world. Teachers can observe these values by having students discuss aspects of Algerian culture and history, demonstrate civic behavior, and learn about other cultures. Key ways to teach values include treating all students equally, encouraging participation, establishing clear structures for learning, and avoiding negative communication.

I. Overview
Co-teaching is designed to meet the educational needs of students with diverse learning options. It allows teachers to focus on more intense and individualized instruction in the general education setting for students with special needs. However not all schools have the ability to effectively co-teach and co-plan. Schools are not equipped to offer professional support and co-planning sessions for general education and special education teachers. Not many schools understand effective co-teaching models.
My role is to research effective co-teaching models and present this information to staff during an in-service training.
II. Relevant Data
a. Research co-teaching strategies with documented effectiveness by locating at least 5 recent journal articles.
b. Survey present teachers across two schools (building-wide) and determine what types of co-teaching is implemented in the respective classrooms.
c. Survey student and teacher feedback regarding the effectiveness of present co-teaching design.
d. Assist co-teachers with co-planning sessions and differentiation strategies.
III. Diverse Educational Setting
a. Different grade levels – High school grades 9-12
b. Different disciplines – core content areas (English, Math, Science, History)
c. Work with diverse student populations – General Education, Special Education Students and English Language Learners
IV. ISLLC Standards

This document discusses key concepts related to curriculum design for teaching English as a foreign language. It defines curriculum as a general plan for a course of study including goals, learning outcomes, and evaluation. A syllabus provides more specific details for teaching a particular course, including content selection and sequencing. Methodology refers to the underlying teaching approaches used, while methods are specific classroom techniques. Effective curriculum design involves defining objectives, selecting content, organizing content and learning experiences, and determining evaluation. Curriculum ideologies influence design and include academic rationalism, social efficiency, learner-centeredness, and social reconstructionism.
Fostering Learner Autonomy in an ESL Classroomnadiahhuda
This article discusses promoting learner autonomy in an ESL classroom through an action research project. The author implemented an autonomy-based English program for first-year university students in Hong Kong. Classroom procedures focused on individual and group tasks like short talks, presentations, debates and a newspaper project to develop learner autonomy. Students gradually took more responsibility for their learning by setting goals, choosing topics and materials, and evaluating their own progress. Feedback showed students had a generally positive experience with the autonomous approach despite initial challenges.

The document discusses curriculum and its definition. It states that curriculum comes from the Latin meaning "to run a course" and can therefore be defined as the course of study students must go through to achieve success. It also notes that curriculum needs constant changes to adapt to a changing world and society. The relationship between curriculum and instruction is that instruction is how the curriculum is delivered in the classroom. Some key factors that influence curriculum planning are research, student differences, educational standards, and societal changes. Values and philosophy also shape curriculum planning to meet community needs and goals.

The document discusses methods for teaching English to speakers of other languages (ESOL) using cooperative learning strategies. It describes a classroom lesson where students work in groups to measure the perimeter and area of floor models using both conventional and non-conventional measurement units. The teacher provides support to varied student groups based on their needs and English proficiency. Students then share their findings in a cooperative learning activity where they exercise shared leadership and serve as language resources for each other.
The document discusses methods for teaching English to speakers of other languages (ESOL) using conventional and non-conventional measures in math. It describes a scenario where an ESOL teacher introduces a lesson on perimeter and area by having students measure a table using hand spans. Students then work in groups to create floor models and measure them using different units. The teacher supports varied English proficiency levels and ensures all students understand before having groups share their findings.
The document discusses the components that make up a school curriculum. It includes a school's vision, mission, and goals, which are important in designing the curriculum. The curriculum components guide how the school will be run and help achieve its aims. Methods and strategies employed by the school community to realize these goals include orienting students to the vision and mission and adopting teaching approaches that engage and develop lifelong learners. The curriculum also considers the needs of diverse learners through its components and approaches.

Addressing Student Diversity in Manitoba Schools
Today’s classroom reflects the diversity of our communities and includes a mix
of student interests, needs, learning styles, and cultural backgrounds. Manitoba
Education, Training and Youth has described instructional supports that address
this diversity. They can be visualized as a nested continuum that is consistent
with the concepts of inclusion, effective professional practice, and collegial
support.

4.2
Teacher Planning in the Classroom
At the beginning of the school year, the teacher should clearly establish the
needs of the students in the classroom. In almost every classroom there will be
students who require special consideration. Remember, the teacher is not
expected to provide totally different programs to students; rather, the differences
can be managed using a variety of approaches.
The teacher should determine the best methods to address students’ needs. In a
typical classroom, there may be
• several students who require differentiated instruction (Note that all students
benefit from differentiated instruction, but for some students it is essential.)
• some students who require adaptations to instruction and assessment
• some students who require additional supports
• a few students who require modifications outlined in their Individual
Education Plan
• occasionally students who require individualized programming outlined in
their Individual Education Plan
The teacher should examine ways to meet the learning needs within the unit or
lesson being taught. A teacher who examines the needs of a classroom in this
way is able to see commonalties as well as differences in students. A classroom
that includes students who are alcohol-affected might also have other students
whose learning needs can be met in the same way. The Unit Planning form is an
excellent way of planning for a variety of needs.

Learning Strategies, Supports, and Interventions
The following is an example of how a geography unit could be developed to
meet the needs of all students in a classroom.
In the sections below, additional information, strategies, and suggestions are
provided regarding
• differentiated instruction
• adaptations
• adding support team members
• designating courses as “modified”
• individualized programming
Senior 2 Geography: Unit 1 - Overview of North America
Learning Outcomes:
• Where is North America located?
• Which countries are included in North America?
• Which national boundaries will be significant? Why?
Class instruction:
Complete the map of North America by writing the provinces/states, capital cities, and major
rivers/bodies of water. Include a legend that indicates the general topography and the major
industry associated with each province.
Differentiated instruction for all students:
• Use overheads and videos
• Enable students to conduct research using computers, CD-ROMs, and the Internet
• Make a class project of building three-dimensional map, and provide separate areas where
students can work at various times
• Provide a variety of materials to students (e.g., modeling clay, small objects)
Differentiated evaluation/assessment:
• Develop a rubric to weight various types of finished products (e.g. written format, picture format,
oral presentation). Assess student knowledge of specific content and various levels of expected
performance.
Possible adaptations:
• Provide a word bank of provinces, rivers/waterways
• Provide pictures of major industries and topography for students to place on maps. Put the
pictures of trees, prairies, and mountains on the map. From the list of jobs (fishing, farming,
mining, etc.) select one or two that are found in each province and write the job(s) on the map.
• Enlarge maps for easier labeling
Possible supports:
• Librarian
• Resource
• Paraprofessional
Possible modifications: (the extent of the modification will be dependent on the students
functioning level. Modify only to the extent that is necessary.)
• Provide a map of the provinces and instruct students to colour each province a different colour
(e.g., British Columbia - blue; Manitoba - pink)
• Provide a labeled map and ask students to locate specific places on the map (e.g., underline the
Red River; find Hudson Bay and colour it blue)
• Use pictures (e.g., of fish, tractors) to represent major industries in a province, and ask students
to match the pictures with the appropriate province(s)
• Provide a map of Manitoba only. Ask students to locate Winnipeg and two major rivers. (This is
appropriate for small group work - one student could work on the Manitoba map while the others
work on a map of the country. The Manitoba map could then be included on the final, larger map
of the group.)
Possible activities for students on an individualized program:
• Provide students with maps of the school, classroom, or community to help them learn functional
mapping skills as they relate to their environment. Working on bus schedules is an example of a
functional mapping skill.

Provincial Curriculum with Differentiation
There are four programs in Manitoba: English, French Immersion, Français, and
Technology Education. The first three are available from Kindergarten to
Senior 4, while Technology Education is only available at the Senior Years.
Each program is organized in domains (subject areas) which, in turn, have
provincial curricula that are organized around learning outcomes and describe
content and methods for instruction.
Differentiated instruction refers to a wide range of instructional and classroom
strategies that teachers can use to help each student achieve the prescribed
learning outcomes. It is the component of classroom instruction that specifically
acknowledges and responds to learner diversity. Using differentiated instruction
establishes a supportive learning environment for all students.
Differentiated instruction helps teachers
provide provincial curricula by
accommodating students with a wide
range of abilities, interests, and learning
styles. Teachers can differentiate
curriculum in three broad areas: content,
process, and product.
Differentiated instruction helps students
meet provincial curricular outcomes because varied instructional approaches are
used, thus matching their varied learning styles.
There are many differentiated instruction techniques that have been found to
work effectively with students who are alcohol-affected. Because these students
may experience difficulty with receptive and expressive language, with
remembering, and with understanding abstract ideas, techniques need to be
chosen with care.
Students who are alcohol-affected prefer activities that involve
• concrete learning
• visual/tactile/kinesthetic learning styles
The strategies below can help students who are alcohol-affected (and may also
be effective with many students who are not). In using these strategies, teachers
need to remember that strategies may need to be explained to students several
times. There are six examples of differentiated instruction approaches provided
on the following pages.

differentiated
instruction, see Success
for All Learners: A Handbook on
Differentiating Instruction
(Manitoba Education and
Training, 1996).
5. 4.5
Learning Strategies, Supports, and Interventions
Learning Strategies
Learning strategies are instructional strategies that have been developed to assist
students with learning difficulties. Learning strategies include: teaching study
skills, editing assignments, reading strategies, and thinking strategies. Two
examples of learning strategies that can be used with students who are alcohol-
affected are the COPS strategy and the JETS strategy.
COPS is an editing strategy that helps students edit their work by focusing on
four key elements of the editing process:
C Capitalization
O Overall Editing and Appearance
P Punctuation
S Spelling
JETS is a strategy for task
completion or assistance in preparing
to do an assignment.
J Job: What is it I have been asked to do?
E Equipment: What will I need to do the job?
T Time: How much time do I have to complete the job?
S Satisfactory product: What do I have to do to complete my job in a
satisfactory manner?
Graphic Organizers
Graphic organizers
(also known as mind
maps, webs, clusters,
think sheets, and
forms) are visual
diagrams that help
students understand
and think by representing abstract ideas and concepts in a concrete
form (see the following examples).

Lesson Frames
Lesson frames are used to present an overview of a lesson or concept. They are
presented in writing but may also include pictures or graphics, and are usually
placed on overheads, photocopies, chalkboards, or posters. They typically
indicate the course, topic, date, lesson outline, lesson outcomes, assignment, and
notes. Lesson frames help students to organize their thoughts around a lesson.
The use of visuals (pictures or graphics) in lesson frames can help
students learn important routines or strategies. Visuals can be made using
computer programs, magazine cutouts, or photographs, and placed in
student binders for easy access. The student’s schedule may be
represented by picture activities scheduled for the day. Visuals may also
be used during class presentations to reinforce verbal and written
information.
Organizational Strategies
Organizational strategies are techniques that can be used to help
students organize books, materials, and activities. Some techniques
that have been found to work with students who are alcohol-affected
include
• colour-coding the student’s notebooks, texts, and file folders by
subject or assignment (e.g., red for mathematics)
• using an agenda book to keep track of homework, school events, tests, and
assignments that travel between home and school
• labeling items that should be kept in the student’s locker
• using small containers to store school supplies
• providing additional shelving in lockers, especially for Middle Years and
Senior Years students

Learning Strategies, Supports, and Interventions
Note-Taking
Students who are alcohol-affected may experience difficulty while note-taking.
This problem can be resolved by providing the student with a photocopy of a
peer’s notes, the teacher’s notes, or the class overheads. Some teachers remove
key words from overhead notes so that the student will be required to pay
attention to the presentation in order to fill in the missing words.
Scaffolding
Students who are alcohol-affected may become
frustrated when presented with a large
assignment or research project. It is possible to
avoid this frustration by using scaffolding – a
strategy of providing clear structure and
precisely stated expectations, and breaking
down tasks into manageable pieces.

Adaptations
Adaptations are planned, personalized alterations in the way teachers provide
instruction, in the way a student demonstrates learning, and in the assessment of
progress. Adaptations help students to achieve and to demonstrate the
achievement of the expected learning outcomes of the curriculum. Adaptations
are developed for individual students through planning by the teacher, student,
parents and possibly other support personnel. Students are assessed according to
the learning outcomes of the provincial curriculum.
There are a variety of ways that educators can provide adaptations for an
individual student. These include adaptations to
• the physical and/or social environment
• materials and resources, including the introduction of supportive equipment
• presentations
• testing and assessment procedures (prior permission is required for
provincial standards tests)
• assignments and projects
• organizational supports
• the time required to achieve curriculum outcomes
9. 4.9
Learning Strategies, Supports, and Interventions
As teachers work through the process of using adaptations, it is suggested that
the adaptations be documented. A form, such as the Adaptations Worksheet (see
the Support Materials at the end of this section) should be used and filed for
future reference. The student’s parents should always be informed when
adaptations are used.
* For additional information on the adaptations allowed during provincial standards tests, see
Policies and Procedures for Standards Tests (Manitoba Education, Training and Youth, 2000-
2001).

The Student Support Team
Involving additional support personnel with students can be pictured as a
series of concentric circles. At the hub is the student, with Core Team supports
coming from the teacher and parent. If the student is not successful with the
assistance of only the core team members, the team can formally request
assistance from personnel with more specialized expertise.
At one level are the staff who are frequently based within a school (the In-
School Support Team). The next circle consists of specialized educational
personnel (the Educational Support Team) who are usually based externally but
have a defined relationship to the school. The External/Community Supports
circle includes a variety of external or community personnel who might be
recruited to provide specialized supports to the student. The classroom teacher
can often obtain informal, consultative support from other support team
members and this is certainly the case in schools that emphasize professional
sharing and collegiality. However, formal involvement — a professional

Learning Strategies, Supports, and Interventions
involved directly with a student — requires parental approval and a referral
process. Of course, some students enter a school or classroom with various
support team members already involved. Once formally involved, support
personnel become part of the student’s support team and might work directly
with the student or through consulting with or training other personnel such as
teacher(s) or paraprofessional(s).
Redesigning Course Content
If altering the methods of instruction is
not sufficient to ensure student success,
thought should be given to altering the
instructional content. Under certain
circumstances, the student’s support
team can redesign the course to fit the
student’s need for a more attainable
(modified) or challenging (enriched)
content. Decisions to redesign course
content are determined for individual
students on a course-by-course
(subject-by-subject) basis before a term
begins. Redesigning course content
involves changing the number, essence,
or content of provincial learning
outcomes. The student can be included
in the instruction of the provincial
curriculum but focuses on content that is individually appropriate.
Modifying outcomes for a course or instructional unit involves reducing the
number, essence, or content of the curricular outcomes. Modification can be an
effective strategy for students who are unable to meet the learning outcomes of
the provincial curriculum due to their special needs. Course modification is
more formal at the Senior Years since students must meet the graduation
requirements of the credit system. If a student has such significant cognitive
disabilities that more than 50 percent of the outcomes of a provincially designed
or approved course must be modified, the student’s support team, in
consideration of the student’s needs, develops an Individual Education Plan
(IEP) and the report card shows an M-designation (e.g., 10M) for the modified
course. The support team should always consider all consequences of modifying
the learning outcomes of the curriculum. For instance, M-designated courses are
not usually accepted by colleges and universities as meeting their entry criteria.
Some students taking modified courses might require community supports as
adults and should have a transition plan developed.

modified course
designation, see Towards
Inclusion: A Handbook for
Modified Course Designation,

and Training, 1995). For

At all grades, course design can be enriched for the student who can work
beyond the learning outcomes of the provincial curriculum. Typically, this is a
consideration for students who (a) are academically gifted or (b) are talented in
a particular curriculum area or (c) have high task commitment. Enriched courses
provide additional challenges for the student. At the Senior Years, there are
additional strategies for providing enriched programming:
• developing an enriched Student-Initiated Project (SIP) or a School-Initiated
Course (SIC)
• enrolling in post-secondary courses and receiving dual-credit at the post-
secondary and Senior Years levels
Choosing one of these options, except the Student-Initiated Project which is a
credit initiated by the student, should be a team decision, often involving a
school counsellor.
Individualized Programming
Individualized programming recognizes the needs of the very few students whose
cognitive disabilities are so significant that they will not benefit from participating
in provincial curricula. The student’s support team develops an IEP with
instructional content that is student specific. It should be functionally or
developmentally appropriate with
curricular domains that might include
academic, communication, behaviour,
social, cognitive, vocational,
self-management, community,
recreation/leisure, and motor/physical.
Often, the instructional methods,
materials, and environments must also
be personalized to meet student needs.
It must be noted that individualized
programming is not a placement description, as programming may take place in a
variety of settings within the school and the community. Some students may benefit
from an individualized program in which the instruction occurs in the context of the
regular classroom.
In the Senior Years, students participating in the individualized (I) programming
designation receive one credit for each year of participation up to a maximum of
seven credits. These students will usually require community supports as adults
and should have a transition plan developed.

information on the
individualized course
designation, see Towards
Inclusion: A Handbook for
Individualized Programming

(Manitoba Education and
Training, 1995).

Task Analysis
Sometimes in individualized programming a task analysis is required. Teachers
and parents may need to break complex tasks down into small, teachable steps.
The sub-steps should be taught in order and reinforced as they are taught. Life
skills, social skills, and academic skills can all be broken down into small steps
for instruction. The life skills example below illustrates the sub-steps required
for sweeping the floor and the academic example illustrates the preparation
tasks for an art class.
Life Skills Example:
Cleaning a room
1. Get the broom.
2. Get the dust pan.
3. Clear the floors.
• Put chairs on the table.
• Pick up big pieces of garbage.
4. Sweep up the dust and dirt into a
pile.
5. Sweep the pile into the dust pan.
6. Empty the dust pan into the
garbage can.
7. Put the dustpan and broom away.
8. Put the chairs back onto the floor.
9. Place chairs and tables in rows as
shown on the room diagram
located on the wall.
Academic Example:
Preparing for Art Class
1. Find the classroom.
2. Get folder with project directions.
3. Take the folder to assigned work area. Open
the folder.
4. Check folder; assemble and set up supplies.
5. Sit appropriately and follow directions as
teacher explains.
6. Follow the sequence of listed steps to
complete.
7. Try to finish the project or complete the step
(if not completed, mark stopping place to
complete next day.)
8. Follow termination procedure, put materials
and project away. Clean area.
9. Check area and materials. Is folder put
away?
10. Check schedule and map. Move to next
class.

A Closer Look at Individualized Programs
This “Close Up” of Pauline illustrates how her learning plan is developed using
an individualized program.
“Pauline” is a Grade 8 student with significant developmental
delays and some fine and gross motor difficulties due to
skeletal abnormalities. Pauline has been diagnosed with Fetal
Alcohol Syndrome. Her needs and interventions are addressed
by individualized programming and she receives some
paraprofessional assistance. Pauline lives in a supportive foster
placement in her local community.
Pauline stays in the regular classroom about 75% of the time.
She is engaged in both parallel and personalized activities with
her classmates (depending on the subject area). The parallel
activities tend to take place during language arts and
mathematics, and focus on the goals outlined in her Individual
Education Plan. In mathematics, Pauline focuses on the
functional skills of time, money, and consumer purchasing. She
is currently working on these concepts while making shopping
trips to a local store. In language arts, the receptive and
expressive communication outcomes outlined in her Individual
Education Plan are addressed. Recently she has been working
on captioning photos, and responding to who, what, and where
questions.
Pauline’s teacher includes Pauline in classroom activities by
providing her with opportunities to participate in similar
activities. For example, a recent project involved students
presenting biographies of famous people. Pauline’s
individualized assignment involved her creating a biography of
the classroom teacher, and then presenting the information to
the class. Her presentation was illustrated with computer-
generated pictures.
Pauline participates in science and social studies by listening to
classroom presentations and engaging in hands-on activities
with her peers. While students conduct written work, Pauline
conferences with the teacher about the important parts of the
lesson. The teacher scribes the key parts, then Pauline copies
the notes independently on the computer.
Pauline participates in music and gym class. In gym class, she
leaves the classroom ten minutes before her peers so that she

can dress herself independently. The teacher encourages her
independence in the classroom, as well, by having Pauline
complete tasks such as handing out papers and making
deliveries around the school. During her breaks, Pauline is
paired with a “buddy” to visit her locker and go to the
cafeteria.
During Pauline’s independent time, she follows a plan that
includes gross motor exercises. Currently she is working on
balance, flexibility, and trunk strength. These exercises help
her to walk in a more erect fashion. Some of her gross motor
goals are also addressed within her weekly swim program, and
swimming also provides her an opportunity to work on dressing
and bathing skills. Many of her fine motor skills are addressed
within the math program when she works with small
manipulatives (e.g., little crystal “counter” beads that promote
a more refined pincer grasp).
The other functional life skills Pauline works on include
shopping and cooking. Once a week she participates with
another student in preparing a meal. This involves a trip to the
store, the purchasing of ingredients, and the preparation of
the meal. While walking to and from the store, Pauline works on
traffic safety. A social story with photographs has been
developed to help her prepare for the outings. While at the
grocery store she follows a picture-based shopping list and is
working on opening her change purse and paying the clerk.
Pauline is exposed to the Circles personal safety program (see
page 5.11 for more information). This program was introduced
due to a fear that she was vulnerable because she has
difficulty saying “no” and does not always respect personal
space. The program helps her to understand different types of
relationships and the types of gestures that are appropriate in
different relationships. She is reinforced positively during the
day for standing the correct distance from others and keeping
her hands and feet to herself.

The chart that follows summarizes many of the key characteristics of the levels
in the continuum of instructional supports.
(1) See “The Student Support Team” graphic
The continuum indicates the various supports that can be considered. The first
support levels are those that help the student to succeed with provincial learning
outcomes by personalizing the methods of instruction. The common supports of
this type are the use of adaptations, and formally involving support personnel
with the student. When changes to instructional methods do not foster student
success, instructional content can be redesigned by modifying or enriching
learning outcomes in a course or individualizing programming.
The principles of inclusion encourage classroom environments where all
students can be taught effectively together. No educator is alone in this effort.
When educators use the information about effective professional practices and
support each other collegially, they have a foundation for helping most students
to succeed in the provincial curriculum. However, there will always be students
who require additional supports.

Communication Issues and Students Who Are
Alcohol-Affected
A student who is alcohol-affected has brain damage that often affects his or her
ability to communicate and to learn. The communication problems manifest
themselves in several ways, including a poor ability to
• process language
• listen
• acquire basic concepts
• remember vocabulary
• express themselves clearly
Students who are alcohol-affected are often very verbal, yet may still have many
communication difficulties. It is due to these communication difficulties that
some learning problems develop. The learning difficulties can become evident
through the student’s inability to
• solve problems
• follow directions
• be safe
• express his or her feelings
• make his or her needs and wants known
Frustration, due to communication and learning problems, can lead to behaviour
problems, temper tantrums, violence, and anger. There are many strategies that
can be used to help students who are alcohol-affected overcome their
communication difficulties. A speech-language pathologist can help the
classroom teacher develop specific strategies for individual students. Some of
the generic interventions that can assist students who are alcohol-affected in the
expressive and receptive language areas are listed below. It is important to note
that there are often differences between the student’s receptive and expressive
language skills.

Expressive Language
• Provide many repetitions when teaching
vocabulary. Learning new words should
take place within the context of
experience and hands-on manipulation of
real objects.
• Use real objects, representations,
photographs, and drawings along with
visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic
repetition, demonstration,
experimentation, manipulation, and
reinforcement of the target concept.
• Use cloze techniques to help students
remember words or concepts.
• Develop language programs that
emphasize survival language and social
communication.
• Encourage daily reading aloud.
• Teach students how to express needs,
wants, and feelings.
• Help students learn basic social skills.
Receptive Language
• Remove distractions, background noise,
and visual stimuli from the student’s work
area.
• Use repetition, routines, and multi-modal
teaching to enhance memory.
• Teach and re-teach in a variety of
contexts over a period of time to increase
the likelihood of memory retention.
• Rehearse and practise in the context of
daily living to assist in learning time
sequences.
• Change language to increase the student’s
comprehension.
• Use short, concise, simple sentences.
• Use as few words as possible.
• Use grammatically correct language,
slightly above the student’s own
language level.
• Speak slowly with lengthy pauses
between sentences.
• Use visual or tactile cues or prompts
whenever possible.
• Use the student’s name when giving
directions.
• Use positive rather than negative
language.
• Provide routine, predictability, and clarity
for phrases that are used in daily living
tasks.
• Use who, what, where, and how questions,
but try to avoid questions asking why.
Suggestions to Enhance Communication for Children Who Are Alcohol-Affected*
19. 4.19
Learning Strategies, Supports, and Interventions
Addressing Communication and Learning Issues
with Technology
Students who are alcohol-affected often respond positively to computers and
computer-assisted learning programs. These programs can also make it easier
for the classroom teacher to provide appropriate learning activities and
curriculum at a suitable instructional level for students who are alcohol-affected.
The benefits to the student are that computer-assisted learning programs are
repetitive, visual, and provide immediate feedback and a hands-on learning
experience. An example of a computer-assisted learning package is
Successmaker.
For students with severe disabilities, the computer can open new avenues of
learning. Some peripheral devices make it possible for students to hear words as
they are typed into the computer, to spell-check their work, or to use a program
that can “speak” words.
Students who are alcohol-affected require the use of visuals or graphics to
support the printed page. The computer – along with an appropriate graphics
database or special graphics program – can make it easier for teachers to
provide visuals and graphics for these students. Graphics enhance the student’s
ability to comprehend written words. An example of a graphics program is
Boardmaker.
This section described various levels of instructional supports and
some of the factors that the student’s support team should consider
when choosing supports. The decision of selecting supports requires
a more thorough understanding of the principles of inclusion and
“most enabling environment.” However, the student’s support team
and changes in environment hold the greatest promise for student
progress.
Work as a team with
all the people who
are important in a
child’s life – family,
members of the
community, and
people who work in
the school or day
care – to formulate a
joint plan to meet
the unique
communication
needs of the child.
