After completing this session, participants will be able to:  Apply effective teaching strategies.  Summarize data to report IEP progress.  Use data to make program decisions. OBJECTIVES 12

 Design instruction around the student’s instructional level, using information from their present level of performance.  Use real-life experiences. TIPS AND REMINDERS 13

EFFECTIVE TEACHING STRATEGIES 14

E ACH P ROGRAM S HEET S HOULD I NCLUDE :  A long-term goal and short-term objective  Materials you will need for the lesson  Notes that are pertinent to the lesson  Prompts to use and Correct Responses  Correction Procedures for incorrect responses  Data recording instructions PROGRAM SHEETS 15

16

P ROMPTING  Type of Prompt  Verbal vs. Non-Verbal  Inadvertent Prompting  Additional Prompting  Fading Prompts  Prompting Consistency TEACHING STRATEGIES 17

P ROMPTING : V ERBAL VS. N ON -V ERBAL  Verbal Example: “What time is it?”  Non-verbal Example: Alter the task to allow the student to point to a response. Prompt with, “Point to the clock that shows 9:30.”  For a task analysis lesson, the prompt is the same for both verbal and non-verbal students. TEACHING STRATEGIES 18

P ROMPTING : I NADVERTENT P ROMPTING  It is easy to unknowingly prompt your students.  Video of Dustin TEACHING STRATEGIES 19

1.D ID YOU SEE THE INADVERTENT PROMPT ? I F SO, PLEASE TYPE WHAT YOU SAW INTO THE CHAT BOX. 2.W HAT ARE SOME OTHER INADVERTENT PROMPTS THAT YOU SEE OR PERHAPS HAVE DONE WHILE WORKING WITH STUDENTS ? CHAT BOX QUESTIONS 20

P ROMPTING —A DDITIONAL P ROMPTING  Some students might require additional prompts. This should be reflected in the program sheet. TEACHING STRATEGIES 21

P ROMPTING : F ADING P ROMPTS  The goal in prompting is always to fade so the student is as independent as possible.  Keep in mind, some students will always require additional prompts. TEACHING STRATEGIES 22

C ORRECTION P ROCEDURES  Provide a clear correction-procedure  Interrupt the behavior  Revisit incorrect responses  Adjust correction procedures once a skill is learned (task analysis) TEACHING STRATEGIES 23

C ONSISTENCY  It is critical to the success of your students that you follow the prompting and correction guidelines provided in the lesson plan. This will ensure consistency.  They will help you effectively carry out the important teaching procedures of prompting, correction, and reinforcement. TEACHING STRATEGIES 24

R EINFORCEMENT  Deliver immediately following a correct response  Be specific! TEACHING STRATEGIES 25

L EARNING ONE NEW C OMPONENT OF A S KILL AT A T IME  Break tasks down into manageable components (individualize)  Teach one new component at a time to increase success and limit failure and frustration  Remember to reinforce! TEACHING STRATEGIES 26

R EPETITION Students benefit from repeated exposure to a new concept. Repeat  new information in a variety of different contexts  information frequently  areas of difficulty within the context of firm skills TEACHING STRATEGIES 27

G ENERALIZATION  Opportunities for generalization need to be planned and embedded throughout the day.  Look for informal, teachable moments that can be built into each day. TEACHING STRATEGIES 28

 Use realistic materials  Naturally occurring prompts  Practice in the real environment TEACHING STRATEGIES 29

1.L ET ’ S TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT ONE OF THE EXAMPLE DATA SHEETS FROM THE BEGINNING. 2.G IVEN WHAT YOU JUST LEARNED, WHAT INFORMATION DO YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY RUN THIS PROGRAM ? W HAT WOULD YOU INCLUDE ON A PROGRAM SHEET ? CHAT BOX QUESTIONS 34

35

 What food is the student eating?  Is more than one kind of food introduced at a time?  How long do you wait to prompt the student?  What constitutes a prompt?  What happens if the student refuses to eat or rejects the food?  Are we taking data every time the student eats – (lunch time, snack time, special occasions, etc.)? POSSIBLE PROGRAM INFORMATION 36

F OR IEP/P ROGRESS R EPORTING - A CCURACY  Add the total number of correct responses over the past 10 days and divide by the total number of possible correct responses. SUMMARIZING DATA 37

S UMMARIZING D ATA - D AILY  Every (/) or (0) is a data point  Summarize daily data by getting the percentage of correct trials, in this example use the graph provided on the right hand side of each data sheet. Put a square around the corresponding number for that day i.e., 40%. SUMMARIZING DATA 38

39

F OR IEP/P ROGRESS R EPORTING - A CCURACY  Take the most current 9-12 dates of data obtaining the average by following the formula below: Add the total number of correct responses over the past 12 days (i.e., 68) SUMMARIZING DATA 40

= 68 SUMMARIZING DATA 41

F OR IEP/P ROGRESS R EPORTING - A CCURACY  Add the total number of possible correct response (i.e., 120). SUMMARIZING DATA 42

= 120 SUMMARIZING DATA 43

F OR IEP/P ROGRESS R EPORTING - A CCURACY  Divide the total number correct (i.e., 68) by the total number possible (i.e., 120) to get the average (i.e., 57%) 68/120 = 57% SUMMARIZING DATA 44

F OR IEP/P ROGRESS R EPORTING - A CCURACY Example progress report  Current Short-Term Objective: Student will count money using next-dollar strategy from $.01 to $5.00 with 70% accuracy.  Progress: Student is making progress toward the objective but has not met the long-term goal. SUMMARIZING DATA 45

F OR IEP/P ROGRESS R EPORTING - F REQUENCY  Add the total number of trials/behaviors over the past ten days. Divide by ten to get an average frequency rate. SUMMARIZING DATA 46

F OR IEP/P ROGRESS R EPORTING - L ATENCY /D URATION  Add the total time over the past ten days. Divide by ten to get an average time. SUMMARIZING DATA 47

=664 48

F OR IEP/P ROGRESS R EPORTING – L ATENCY /D URATION  Divide the total time (i.e., 664 minutes) by 10 days to get the average time across 10 days (i.e., 66.4 minutes) 664/10 = 66.4 min SUMMARIZING DATA 49

F OR IEP/P ROGRESS R EPORTING – L ATENCY /D URATION Example progress report  Current Short-Term Objective: Student will be out of his wheelchair for 90 minutes per day.  Progress: Student is making progress toward the objective but has not met the long-term goal. SUMMARIZING DATA 50

F OR IEP/P ROGRESS R EPORTING - F LUENCY  Add the total time over the past ten days. Divide by ten to get an average time. And/or  Add the total number of prompts over the past ten days. Divide by ten to get an average number of prompts. SUMMARIZING DATA 51

F OR IEP/P ROGRESS R EPORTING - F LUENCY  Summarize daily data by totaling the number of daily prompts and entering it on the bottom of the data sheet. SUMMARIZING DATA 52

53

F OR IEP/P ROGRESS R EPORTING - F LUENCY  Take the most current 5 dates of data obtaining the average by following the formula below: Add the total number of prompts for each day (i.e., 50) SUMMARIZING DATA 54

= 50 55

F OR IEP/P ROGRESS R EPORTING - F LUENCY  Divide the total number of prompts (i.e., 50) by the total number of days (i.e., 5) to get the average number of prompts per day (i.e., 10) 50/5 = 10 SUMMARIZING DATA 56

F OR IEP/P ROGRESS R EPORTING – F LUENCY Example progress report  Current Short-Term Objective: Student will put on a shirt with less than 2 prompts.  Progress: Student is making progress toward the objective but has not met the long-term goal. SUMMARIZING DATA 57

 Review data frequently.  Make adjustments to the program if the student is not progressing.  Move the student onto the next skill when mastery is achieved.  Use data for IEP progress reporting. MAKING PROGRAM DECISIONS 58

 Besides you, who else takes data on your students? Para-Educators Classroom Teachers Specialists (OT, PT, SLP, TVI, etc.) Volunteers Peer Tutors POLL 59

 Take data while others (Peer Tutors or Para- Educators) run programs to check for reliability.  If reliability is under 90%, revisit teaching strategies and data collection.  It is very common to misunderstand how to mark data following a correction procedure.  Use your program sheet to make sure directions are clear. RELIABILITY 60

61

 Identify goals & objectives.  Create a data sheet.  Create a corresponding program sheet.  Apply effective teaching strategies.  Ensure consistency & reliability.  Summarize data.  Review data frequently. SUMMARY 62
