(FOCUS ON TEACHER) Wild Child video - Answers things that have changed since the video: the discipline used, people with disabilities were viewed as "animals", people first language, they did not believe that children with disabilities could be taught at first similarities to now: the determination in working with children with disabilities, acceptance of error, and some people still view children with disabilities as a burden lesson from the video: do not make assumptions and children with disabilities are more capable than they appear. *this showed how to use children's interest to engage them in learning Approaches to teaching reading what are they?

Advantages: Language kept whole, not fragmented, integrates all literacy tasks, emphasize meaning of text and language usage over the sounds of letters, reading is driven by interest, motivation and meaning, allows to reading behavior without fear or shame, encourages learners to learn to read by reading. Disadvantages: less phonemic awareness phonics approach: teach letter sounds Advantages: (phonemic awareness, word attack and decoding skills spelling) Disadvantages: Critical science and social studies skills - Answers Science: -information acquisition skills (read, study, observe, listen, experiment, research, etc.) -information processing skills (organize, sort and group data, measure, etc.) -integration skills( synthesize, generalize, use inductive deductive logics/ evaluate) Social Studies: -info acquisition skills -information processing skills -relating interpersonally participating socially tools and instructional devices (memory) - Answers graphic organizers (create visual representations, organize and summarize information, show similarities differences, make connections, increase retention of facts) mnemonics (artificial memory aids which include diagrams, phrases, rhymes, acronyms, and more) Reinforcement - Answers Behavior - Reinforcer (+/-) - Effect: Strengthened or repeated behavior.

Removal: Remove students from a situation, or take something away; take them out of the game, take something away that they like. How to change an undesired behavior - Answers Steps (8): 1. Define the behavior of concern. 2. Conduct a behavioral assessment (FBA): (ABCs) 3. Observe and record the target behavior. (proof and if intervention is effective.) 4. Set attainable goals. (appropriate and reasonable to fix the issue.) 5. Select potential rewards. (how often, how much, what will be awarded) 6. Select teaching procedures: (behavior intervention plan- BIP) works on Antecedent. 7. Implement plan (maintenance and generalization; be consistent) 8. Monitor and assess effectiveness (what are you going to do and if it is working) Main functions served by behaviors - Answers Obtain something (attention, power, status) Access to something fun or rewarding Avoid or escape something (failure, fear, embarrassment, pain, punishment) Sociograms, how are they used in the classroom? - Answers diagram/ chart that parts in social structure of this class. -building relationships -sociometric questions Penalties (categories) - Answers (least inclusive to the most inclusive) Expressions of disappointment Loss of privileges (not loss of parts of the curriculum) Exclusion from the group Written reflections on the problem (another classroom?) Check-in, Check-up, Check-out system Detention Visits to the principal's office Contact with parents Classroom action zone - Answers The location of a student within a classroom determines how much he/she will have contact with the teacher. Impact of teacher's movement on the action zone (the farther out, the less students hear) Planning Pyramid - Answers ALL students will learn: Big concepts, what is it? relate it to their lives. (IEP) MOST students will learn: SOME students will learn: (above grade level) ADAPT Framework - Answers (foundation for responding to children in need) ASK: what am I requiring my students to do? DETERMINE: the prerequisite skills of the task ANALYZE: the student's strengths and struggles PROPOSE: ways to address the needs and implements adaptations from among the four categories TEST: to see whether the adaptations helped the student accomplish the task Bloom's Taxonomy - Answers Creating: produce new or original work Evaluating:justify a decision Analyzing: draw connections among idea Applying:use information in new situations Understanding: explain ideas or concepts Remembering: recall facts and basic concepts CRA/CSA - Answers CRA: CONCRETE:make inform concrete REPRESENTATIONAL: (S)emi concrete picture ABSTRACT: word problems VAKT (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Tactile) - Answers A method of teaching basic number and letter forms and patterns to emergent literacy learners. A student being taught by this method might typically be seen developing visual perception of letters through play such as sorting letters, making letters in rice, shaving cream, or sand, tracing large cutouts of letters and playing with letters made from a variety of materials like sandpaper, plastic and rubber.

Skill Mastered when skills achieved 7. Continue instruction of new skills Or reteach and reassess if skills are not mastered If students then master the skills they move on Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) - Answers -we teach too much -we teach too quickly Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) - Answers Plan based off the results of a functional behavioral assessment (FBA) and includes a description of the of the problem, specific hypotheses as to why the behavior occurs and intervention strategies that include positive support.
