1. You are the special education teacher and have been asked by a general education colleague who teaches 1st grade about a student in her class who is falling behind in reading. The student has trouble sounding out new words and only knows a handful of the pre-primer sight words. The student has trouble with oral rhyming exercises as well. The teacher is concerned that if the student doesn’t close the gap between his performance and that of his peers soon, he might never catch up. If you were going to work with this teacher to help her informally evaluate this student, describe what areas you would want to assess the type of measures you would use.
What interventions might you recommend to this teacher and why (give your rationale for …show more content…
Another probe that we should use to evaluate the students skills is the ability for the students to sound out nonsense words. It may also be beneficial to perform a curriculum-based measurement probe. This will help to get a baseline for where the student is. This, along with the other probes will give the teacher and me a baseline for where the student is. However, the teacher should focus on a few that the teachers will administer multiple times to get accurate baseline data. The two that I think would be most beneficial include, nonsense words and the R-CBM. These two probes will help us to gather information on how well the students knows various reading strategies, letter sounds, and their basic ability on reading fluency and comprehension. The best way to measure these and gather accurate baseline data is to use probes off of AIMSweb. I would like for us to administer three probes for both R-CBM and nonsense words in order to gather accurate baseline data. Once we see where the student is with baseline data, we can implement either Tier 2 or Tier 3 interventions as necessary. One type of intervention that we could use in order to improve the students reading ability is to try …show more content…

List the type of probes you would use and describe the steps involved in data collection and

I feel I have gathered the most from the LSE100 course this term with regard to the latter two questions on the guidelines provided. Each week, we are provided with differing models of analysis, and new angles to pursue ourselves in the wider reading. This all helps one develop not only a keen insight to the key social issues of today, but it is very useful for my current legal studies. Whilst learning the technical components of the law, it is hard to keep sight of the larger social issues going…

Differentiation is not new, effective teachers have always included it in their lessons. During my conversation with an Ofsted inspector, he advised me not to be too ambitious in the terms of including too many different activities in the plan since it is not always about quantity, but the quality of the activities and how I can relate each to meet the needs of individuals in the classroom. Likewise, differentiation is only meaningful if it is a process for all. Teachers are required to ensure…
