Teaching Strategies and Functional Skills of Learners with Special Educationa...
This study investigated the influence of teaching strategies in developing the functional skills of Learners with Special Educational Needs in the Division of Toledo City during the school year 2018 2019 as a basis for the intervention plan. It utilized the descriptive statistics to appropriately present, describe, analyze and infer the responses of the respondent groups through survey questionnaires. Fortunately, the researcher was able to get the total population of the group respondents. There were 43 subjects and 13 respondents. Data on the profile of the subjects and respondents were considered. The distribution of the learners as to identify the functional skills and strategies employed by the teachers in teaching functional skills to Learners with Special Educational Needs were the main concern of this study. Based on the findings, it is concluded that there is a need for an intervention plan so the needs of the Learners with Special educational Needs will be addressed. Though teachers already employed various teaching strategies and interventions to stimulate the development of the learners’ critical and analytical thinking and independent learning, but still there is a room for employing new strategies and interventions to enrich the classroom instructions as the teachers observed some difficulties on their learning process. The world is changing and advancing day by day, so teachers need to be technology savvies as well, in order to meet new global emerging demands. Dr. Richie L.

Key ideasforparentsaboutthecommoncorea handout
The document provides key ideas for parents about supporting the Common Core at home. It discusses three main ideas:
1) The Common Core emphasizes critical thinking, analysis, discussion, evaluation, and explaining understanding in writing. Parents should let deep thinking be hard and help their children talk through problems.
2) It emphasizes using proof and evidence over memorization. Students must explain how they know something.
3) It integrates learning across disciplines, with tasks combining reading, math, and social studies standards. Students work together to solve real-world problems.

Are you willing to volunteer
Volunteers are needed for a kindergarten classroom. Parents are asked not to volunteer for the first six weeks to allow children time to adjust. After that, volunteers are welcome to help in the classroom a few days a month, chaperone field trips, send in supplies, or sponsor children who need financial assistance. A form is included to indicate the ways parents are able to volunteer their time and talents.

This survey is designed to provide information about a child to help create a personalized learning environment and curriculum. It collects details about the child's family, previous preschool experience, skills acquired, strengths, personality, interests, home life, cultural background, and the parent's expectations and availability to participate in the classroom. The parent is asked to describe their child across multiple domains to help the teacher best understand and support the child.

Why voki
- 1. WHY IN THE SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSROOM IS AN ESSENTIAL 2.0 TOOL? Lisa Witteman FRIT 7232 Visionary Leadership in Instructional Technology Fall 2013
- 2. UNBLOCK FILTER – UNLOCK IMAGINATION! When students with motor and speech disorders have the ability to express their knowledge (NETS 4.d), creativity (NETS 1.a) , and collaborative skills (NETS 2.a) through a visual and auditory Web 2.0 tool; They are engaged! They have a sense of commonality to their peers. They can fulfill meta-cognition through active learning.

Voki is the “ease of operation” tool that can pull out our students knowledge and connect them to the curriculum in a student preferred medium. We are obligated both morally and legally to provide F.A.P.E. to our special needs students
- 4. ACCESSIBILITY FOR EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS Voki’s menu is accessible, flexible, and FUN!
