Editor's Notes
- #2 This is what we are going to cover. We want to give you some solutions to take back and use when working with your special education students.
- #3 According to a recent survey by MetLife Inc., nearly half of all teachers say students’ learning abilities in their classes are so varied that they can’t teach effectively. EdWeek Online chat October 13, 2009 So if you are in that group, on the verge of being on that group or are hanging in there but you’re looking for ways to be more effective we are going to offer some ideas to you.

- #24 Planning and prioritizing – ability to create a plan to complete a task or set of tasks; this skill includes making decisions about what to direct attention to and the sequence of steps involved. Organization – creating a structure; TO HAVE A GOAL INSTEAD OF A “DREAM” there needs to be a timeline and a plan. Self monitoring – REGULATION OF PROCESSING SPEED decision on how slow or fast to complete a task based on both the importance of the task to the doer and the importance of the task METACONGNITION – creating a complete plan and then self monitor and evaluate TIME MANAGEMENT – understanding the importance of time: accurately estimate how much time a task will take, know how to appropriate time and stay within time constraints to meet deadlines. Independence in task initiation – TASK INITIATION start at appropriate time without procrastination DISENGAGING ATTENTION stop attending to what one is doing and move on Impulse control – GOAL DIRECTED PERSISTENCE – follow through to complete tasks avoid distractions; google searching, smartphone, walking off, talking, SUSTATINED ATTENTION (when task is not interesting) Flexibility – someone stops by, internet down, dog starts barking to go out, phone rings responding and still completing plan for tasks/goals Emotional control –, stay away from social networking, computer games RESPONSE INHIBITION – resist urge to say or do something SELF REGULATION OF AFFECT – ability to control emotions and moods so they don’t get in the way; tired, cranky, irritable, cold, head-ache Working memory – remembering information and recalling it when needed Can see there is overlap; but it’s nice to break it down because then can see where problems are. When we look at ways technology can be used to support these skills there is overlap too. So we are going to introduce tools that are powerful and address many of these skills. Planning and Prioritizing TIME MANAGEMENT Organization Working Memory METACOGNITION RESPONSE INHIBITION SELF REGULATION OF AFFECT TASK INITIATION Flexibility GOAL DIRECTED PERSISTENCE SUSTAINED ATTENTION DISENGAGING ATTENTION REGULATION OF PROCESSING SPEED
