A recent survey of the leadership of teachers indicated that many teachers feel inadequately prepared to implement inclusive education and view increased collaboration with specialists as essential to building their capacity in this area.Many educators not feel prepared to teach children with disabilities. Many are not aware of how best to support students with speech, language and communication needs in classroom. SLP plays an integral role in working with classroom teams to ensure that content is presented in a variety of forms that teaching strategies promote active attention and engagement, and that students have various opportunities and modalities to communicate and to share information. Therapists identified a broader range of competencies as a result of the shift from the medical model of support to the educational or social model of support. Therapists need to have knowledge about school systems, school culture, and curriculum, understand the demands of the curriculum on the learner’s language and communication skills.Collaboration of SLP with teacher direct support & indirect support involved together.
At The Grand River Academy, our smaller class sizes allow our teachers to more easily recognize classroom struggles and develop a learning strategy specifically suited for your child. In addition, the specialized staff at the Grand River Academy can work with your child in one-on-one sessions, helping students unlock their true potential and acquiring the educational tools they need for success in learning.

A learning disability is described as:-
A state of arrested or incomplete development of mind
Significant impairment of intellectual functioning
Significant impairment of adaptive/social functioning
Adaptation, accommodation and modification for pre academic curriculumsyd Shafeeq
The early childhood years (0 to 6 years) are viewed by many as a critical time for the intellectual and social development of any child. Children in the age range of 0 to 3 years receive training in early learning skills while those children in the age range of 3 to 6 years pre primary education. The Pre-Primary level programmes and early intervention programmes aim at reducing further damage to the child.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. Objectives
Identifying and recommending practices that will
allow the school to be more inclusive for students with
disabilities.
Gather information that is based on best practices that
have shown to enhance the social and academic
experiences of students with disabilities at the school.
The Local School Council would like to learn how the
school can in general enhance schooling for all
students with disabilities and their families

5. IEP
Individual Education Plan
Mandated by Idea (Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act)
Essentially a student by student teaching guideline for
instructors to follow
Created by student and student's parent(s) or
guardian(s), a special education teacher / case
manager, education teacher, or/and a representative
of the school or district
6. IEP Development
When developing an IEP, the team must consider the
strengths and weaknesses of the student
Results of the initial or most recent evaluation of the child
(including private evaluations conducted by the parents),
and the academic development.
IEP team is also required to consider the communication
needs of the student.
For example, if a child is blind the IEP has to provide for
the use of instruction in Braille.
If a child is deaf or hard of hearing, the team is required to
consider the child's language and communication needs,
including the need to communicate with school personnel
and peers.
7. IEP
It is based solely on the student’s needs and should not
be based on any preexisting programs.
8. Language Delay, Learning Disability,
Behavior and Emotional Disability
Its important to know that every student should have
an individual plan but for the sake of a short
presentation , I will speak of general approaches that
works for these disabilities .
9. Important members
Parents
-provide most experience with student,
knowledge of behavior outside of class
Regular Teachers
- could keep track of strengths and weaknesses inside
of classroom.
-monitor frustration or gratification from different
types of assignments
Special Education Teachers/ Inclusion teachers
- makes sure IEP is followed and provide modification
and accommodations when needed.
10. Language delay
Is a communication disorder that’s includes a wide
variety of speech, language, and hearing impairments.
Language delay usually becomes apparent during
infancy or early childhood.
Speech/language delay is the most common
developmental disorder in children aged three to 16
years, affecting approximately 3 to 10 percent of
children. It is three to four times more common in
boys than in girls.
11. Strategies for Language Delay
Healthcare team may include a physician, a
speech/language pathologist, or an audiologist.
Cochlear implants
Different ways of relaying information (visual,
demonstration, etc)
Different ways of promoting classroom participation(
group blogs, group virtual assignments)
Motivation- Positive feedback
12. Learning Disability
Learning disabilities are neurological disorders and
used as an umbrella term.
It does not mean that a student can not or are unable
to learn.
Ex: Dyslexia(reading), Dyscalculia(math),
Dysgraphia(writing ), Dyspraxia(motor) , and
aphasia/dysphasia (language)
13. Not a Learning Disability
These are not a learning disability but can make it
difficult to learn as well
ADHD -(Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)
Children with ADHD often have problems sitting still,
staying focused, following instructions, staying
organized, and completing homework
Autism-with autism spectrum disorders may have
trouble communicating, reading body language,
learning basic skills, making friends, and making eye
contact.
14. General Ways to Help
Identify how a student learns best
-visual, auditory, or kinesthetically
Teach Perseverance, and teach the students how to
handle stress
Clarify your goals to students.
Again, motivation
15. Behavior and Emotional Disability
An inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal
relationships with peers and/or teachers. For preschool-age
children, this would include other care providers.
An inability to learn which cannot be adequately explained
by intellectual, sensory or health factors.
Consistent or chronic inappropriate type of behavior or
feelings under normal conditions.
Displayed pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression.
Displayed tendency to develop physical symptoms, pains or
unreasonable fears associated with personal or school
problems.
17. Behavior and Emotional Disabilities
Keep rules simple and clear
Reward positive Behaviors
Allow for mini-breaks
Fair treatment to all the students
Use motivational strategies
Therapist/ talk about it
18. Important tips
Important to not single student out for any disability
Positive feedback and positive reinforcement is
effective
Zero Tolerance on teasing or negativity (individual or
class)
Close working relationship with Parents, counselors
and anyone else involved in the IEP or student’s
academic performance.
