The purpose of reading is

*Acquire information/knowledge, comprehension

Organizational skills impacts (which areas of academics)?

*All areas of academics?? "Without the ability to organize reading, taking notes, etc. students will have significant difficulties being success in general education classrooms"

Co-teaching has been shown to be effective model to provide:

Better opportunities to monitor students for learning and behavior, improved academic achievement for students with disabilities, better access to the general curriculum, improved opportunities for teachers to meet needs of all students

Cooperative teachers must be able to

Communicate well, get along with each other, share common beliefs, and desire to work as a team

What and how something is taught is called

Content Content includes what you plan to teach (the curriculum and the materials) and how you will give students access to the materials and the ideas

Five elements teachers can use to modify instruction include

Content process product affect learning environment

Instruction in social studies, English, and other similar subjects is called

Content area instruction

An educational model where general and special education teachers are simultaneously present in a classroom is called

Cooperative teaching model (coteaching)

Today's classrooms include students diverse (think in terms of characteristics)

Differ ethnically, socio-economically, and educationally

Planning for instruction begins with teachers

First, teachers must decide on the content to be covered and the amount of time for the instruction

In order to address the needs of diverse groups of students, teachers should

Focus on meeting all students' needs, respect diversity, focus on strengths and weaknesses, know their uniqueness

A first step in setting up co-teaching teams is

Getting to know each other better, meshing teaching styles

What are the six principles teachers consider when using differentiated instruction?

Good curriculum comes first, tasks should be respectful of learner, teach up, use flexible grouping, assess students in different ways, grades should also reflect growth

The Theory of Multiple Intelligences was first described by

Howard Gardner

During a school day, the amount of time teachers have with students in classes is

Instructional time, this time is limited

A negative research finding of cooperative teaching is

Larger classroom sizes, lack of teacher preparation, inadequate planning time, lack of administrative support

Strategies that help students with disabilities learn effectively and efficiently are called

Learning strategies

IDEA and NCLB require all of the following for students with disabilities

Meet same standards, access to general curriculum, served with nondisabled students

The driving force in standards based education is (law)

No Child Left Behind Act

The model where one teacher does most of the teaching and the other mostly observes is called

One teach, one observe

When teachers divide the class delivers instruction is called

Parallel teaching

Ways administrators can assist with cooperative teaching include all of the following

Paraprofessionals: serve as members of instructional team Administration: support planning time and PD Other professionals: serve as team members

Things that show what students have learned are called

Products are those things that show what the student has learned and can be used as the assessment items through which students demonstrate the acquisition of knowledge, understanding, and skills being taught.

SIM stands for

Strategic Instruction Model

Strategies can generally be organized into (think about the what these will do for students)

Strategies for reading, note-taking, and listening

Effective note-taking requires which skills

Students must: Sustain their attention Comprehend what the teacher is saying Discriminate between critical and irrelevant information Paraphrase the information into a note format Organize the information in a coherent way Record it readably and quickly

Headings, bold or italicized words, and numbers and letters to summarize content is

Teaching text structure

What do School-wide positive behavior supports programs include

The social culture of the whole school should provide a foundation for student success. Prevention of behavioral problems should be emphasized instead of reaction to behavioral incidents. The teaching of appropriate social and behavioral skills is essential. All staff should be involved in active data collection. Behavior support practices should be developed and implemented using a three-tiered continuum of supports.

In order to learn to use strategies effectively students must

Verbal practice, controlled practice and feedback, advance practice and feedback, generalization -Have multiple opportunities to use strategies that have been taught

Today's classrooms can be described as

Very diverse, differing ethnically, differing socio-economically, differing educationally, and requiring teachers to work with a wide range of students

Collaboration can best be described as a

When two or more individuals work together to accomplish a common purpose Not a process; it is a way of thinking, planning, sharing, and working together

How students link their thoughts and feelings in class is called

affect

The model when small groups of students are selected and provided instruction different from instruction in the larger group is called

alternative teaching

Managing classrooms to facilitate learning is

challenging

The fusion of the physical organization and social organization of the classroom is called

classroom climate

Routines that students are expected to follow when completing various class activities are called

classroom procedures

Two ways of refocusing student behavior that do not disrupt class are

cues and redirection

Most instruction in secondary schools is based on

curriculum

Being able to read unknown words requires

decoding strategies

The model where instruction is driven by the characteristics of students is

differentiation

A goal of interventions with students with disabilities is to make them

independent learners

What are the components of classroom management?

organization of space, seating arrangements, classroom climate, classroom norms, classroom rules and procedures

A preventive behavioral approach that focuses on positive interventions is called

positive behavioral supports (PBS) -uses proactive methods including positive reinforcement, prompts, and cues to elicit appropriate behavior in specific situations

Providing a positive consequence following a desired behavior is called

positive reinforcement

Methods most teachers use are (teaching methods)

process process is defined as the method that you, the teacher, select or design in order to present the content, and the method by which the students are to respond to the content

The most critical skill students need for learning in middle and secondary courses is

reading

When an entire school implements a positive behavior support program it is called

schoolwide positive behavioral supports (SWPBS)

The arrangement of desks and work space can have a major impact on

student behavior, learning, and social interactions

Co-teaching can be described as

teaming
