Wiki Spaces
is a website available to teachers for free.
Can be used to easily create websites with desired information.
We will be using a Wiki later in this presentation so you can see the functionality.

Let’s Build A Kid
In groups of 4-5, use a chart paper and markers to create your “Student”
Draw the student in the middle of the page
List students strengths, limitations, Learning style, physical/cognitive abilities, and social skill levels.
Visual
auditory
Kinesthetic
You are now going to “create” a student that will be used for the next part of the presentation. So you can think about characteristics of a student whom you are having difficulty creating appropriate lessons and activities. Do not speak in specifics: no names! It can be a combination of characteristics…so for example….

13. Universal Design for Learning Strategies
Exploring New Territories
Universal Design for Learning Strategies
Start with manageable curriculum units: i.e. math lesson
Identify the goals of the unit: the standards or access points
Identify what the student needs to do to show mastery of the standard
Determine what the instructional barriers are for your student:
Determine what tools would help the student to be able to actively participate/engage in the lesson.
Determine how goals, methods and assessments can be adjusted.

14. Exploring New Territories
Assistive Technology
Becomes a component when the student is having difficulty achieving an IEP goal.
AT is specific to an activity/goal (i.e. the student has good comprehension when she hears the information, but cannot read on her own. So use a digital reader)
Think in terms of SETT: Student, Environment, Task, Tool
The MCSD AT Referral Form: help fill out the information so the AT Team understands what assistance you are asking for from them.
