I Wanna Learn More about Inclusion: Now What?

In my experience, the best way to become more knowledgeable about inclusive practices is to read like a maniac. That being said, there's so much out there that it can become intimidating. My suggestion is to start small with these three newsletters. Sign up for them and you get a daily, weekly, or monthly update on strategies, research, and technology that matter for students. 



I highly recommend signing up for Swift's monthly newsletter (scroll down... it's on the righthand side of the page). Swift Schools is connected to several national universities that promote inclusion and is a favorite of mine because it combines practical suggestions with research based articles. When your done with your monthly newsletter, head over to their website. It is a goldmine. I check for updates on the SWIFT Shelf pretty regularly. 



Are you a teacher? Do you have students with print based disabilities? Do you believe all students should be able to access the texts provided to them? If you answered yes to the (very, very loaded) questions above then sign your students up for Bookshare. Afterwards, subscribe to their monthly blog. The Bookshare technology is great but it can be overwhelming. The blog does a wonderful job of giving tips and tricks for teachers to use Bookshare meaningfully in the classroom. 



The newsletter signup is located at the very top of the screen. Nicole sends daily articles and links about inclusion and inclusive topics. Some articles are better than others but the ones that are good are really good. I also recommend checking out her blog. 

Those are my top three. What inclusive blogs and newsletters do you subscribe to?

Accommodation and Modification Checklist

Image
Question:  As an Inclusion Facilitator, I am often asked about modifying and accommodating work to meet individual student needs. Whenever this happens, I immediately ask for samples of student work. Modifying and accommodating for students is so individualized in nature that the A/M section on the student's IEP isn't enough information to tell me what the student needs. The reality is that what works for one student in one class with one set of co-teachers (or one teacher) might not work for another student in the same grade in a different classroom. The IEP is the most individualized document in town and we need to remember the specific student every step of the way.  I look at the following: Student IEP goals Student IEP modifications and accommodations Student strengths General education teacher and learning specialist personalities and teaching style Lesson and unit plans Specific activities Student work Resource: Jenn Kurth's unit based approach to...

Co-Teaching Spotlight: Parallel Instruction

Image
I'm continuing with Julia's Rocking Co-Teaching Series . Click here to read more about team teaching. Okay, onto the next model! Model: Parallel Instruction Definition: "Teachers break the class into two heterogeneous groups and each instructs half of the class" ( Collaborative Teaching in Elementary Schools by Wendy W. Murawski ). What does it look like? Groups facing away from one another and teachers facing one another to limit distractions and noise Two teachers teach the same content in the same way OR  Two teachers teach the same content in a different way ( Collaborative Teaching in Elementary Schools by Wendy W. Murawski )  Notice how the two teachers are facing each other and the groups of students are facing away from one another. Both teachers are teaching the same content in the same way. Notice in this video the quick transition from full class to parallel instruction. The teachers are teaching the same content in a different ...

Support #5: Modified Rubrics

Image
Happy Monday! Here in the Chicago Public Schools, we have ten days left with students. That means ten more supports that can be used in the inclusive classroom. Let's kick it! A great way to grade modified projects, presentations, essays, or any multiple step activity is to use a rubric. I am a big fan of the modified rubric. You are able to incorporate IEP goals (including Independent Functioning goals) into the classroom lesson and unit plans. The picture on the left is an unmodified rubric provided for a seventh grade essay. The one on the right is modified and incorporates modifications and goals that are in the student's IEP. I set up modified rubrics so that a 70% corresponds with the IEP goal or the student's individual unit objectives. If a student meets expectations, they will earn a C. Students that go above and beyond the expectation can earn a B or an A. Students who do not meet the expectations can earn a D or F. Here is an example of a stud...
