      This connects to 7I. Where the teacher is supporting and expanding expression through speaking, writing, or other media. This is happening through connections and building relationships with other schools in different districts and creating a portfolios about the facilities at the schools. Once these portfolios are exchanged they will then use the insights to create their own Student Bill of Rights. This will allow students another perspective to look at, think about, and reflect on.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 11 Oct 21
       
      Yes this is 7I
  • Form a partnership with a teacher in another district. You will ask your students to assemble a portfolio documenting the facilities at their school (through lists, narratives or photos); your partner teacher will ask her/his students to do the same. Classes can exchange portfolios. Each class can use the insights from the exchange to draft their own Student Bill of Rights. 
  • 3. Ask to students to present their posters to the entire class.

      This connects to 3G where we are using student's thinking and experiences as a resources in planning instructional activities by encouraging discussion, listening and responding to group interaction, and eliciting oral, written and other samples of student thinking. This will allow students to look at public information on the per-student funding in the best and least funded schools. They will then present their findings to their peers while listening to others findings and thoughts.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • 4. Circle back to the “Crossing the Gap” story by ask students to vote on the following proposition: An explicit right to equal per-student funding should be added to the Illinois Council of Students' Bill of Rights. Once your students have voted “yes” or “no” to the proposition, ask each group to present their decision, and three reasons supporting it, to the class as a whole. 
    • lind_krom
      lind_krom on 10 Oct 21
       
      This connects to 4E where we understand how a students learning is influenced by individual experiencs, talents, and prior learning, as well as language, culture, family, and community values. This will allow students to look at their findings and how they think they have affected their choices. This will also allow students culture, family, and community values to play a part in their decision making. School and education is very important to different cultures, individual families, and communities. This will affect how students vote. This will also tap into 3G by encouraging discussion and support of the way they have voted.
  • Then have students find the per-student funding levels (listed in dollar amounts) for the best-funded district, least-funded district, and their own district.
    • lind_krom
      lind_krom on 10 Oct 21
       
      This connects to students individual experiences with their own schools funding to see how it affects them,. This will allow them to connect to and build off this scaffolding.
    • lind_krom
      lind_krom on 10 Oct 21
       
      This connects to 4E.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 11 Oct 21
       
      OK yes
  • Have students create a chart illustrating the funding gap between the best-funded and least-funded districts in the state, along with the per-student funding for their district.
    • lind_krom
      lind_krom on 10 Oct 21
       
      This connects to 7I. Where students will create other media in the form of a chart to expand their learning to see the gap in funding between their school, the best funded school, and the least funded school.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 11 Oct 21
       
      yes
  • Have students brainstorm a list of useful educational items that could be purchased with the funding gap money for the least-funded district and/or their own district.
    • lind_krom
      lind_krom on 10 Oct 21
       
      This connects to 3G. Students are actively engaging in inquiry by looking at the gap and figuring what they think could be funded in the least funded school. Things that they may use or see as beneficial in their own school.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 11 Oct 21
       
      The benefit in 3G is to the teacher, when we elicit student thinking it helps us tailor instruction to meet their needs. The standards are teacher standards, not student standards.
  • • learn about inequities in the system and begin to question why those inequities exist by examining the funding gap in their own state.
    • lind_krom
      lind_krom on 10 Oct 21
       
      This connects to 3g. Students will be using their experiences in their school to think about why this funding gap exists . They will then brainstorm ways that they money could benefit the least funded school through oral and written activities.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 11 Oct 21
       
      I don't see how looking at experiences in their own education will help students understand "why" funding gaps exist.
  • • A large portion of public school funding comes from local property taxes. The funding gap exists when higher tax revenues mean much more school funding is available to wealthy communities than to poor communities.
    • lind_krom
      lind_krom on 10 Oct 21
       
      This could connect to 7I by allowing students to consider if this is fair and how we can look into and prevent this gap in funding. Do they think that this is fair, with wealthy communities paying a higher tax revenue? How do they think they could solve this.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 11 Oct 21
       
      Standard 7I is about eliciting student communication in written or other forms. I don't see how this demonstrates that.

  • small group, ask students to brainstorm
    • ashleydoucette91
      ashleydoucette91 on 10 Oct 21
       
      This is an example of 3G - "use a student's thinking and experiences as a resource in planning instructional activities by encouraging discussion, listening and responding to group interaction, and eliciting oral, written, and other samples of student thinking." Grouping the students in pairs or small groups allows for more time and for students to be comfortable sharing their thinking and experiences with one another. This elicits students to share their own thoughts.
  • Have them describe different family make-ups
    • ashleydoucette91
      ashleydoucette91 on 10 Oct 21
       
      This is another example of 3G. Students will be most likely to talk about what they have at home first. By eliciting students share with one another, they bring new experiences to the discussion.
  • Ask students what a biography is
    • ashleydoucette91
      ashleydoucette91 on 10 Oct 21
       
      This is an example of 4E. - "understand how a student's learning is influenced by individual experiences, talents, and prior learning, as well as language, culture, family, and community values" Students knowledge of what a biography is will be influenced by their previous knowledge.

  • students work with a small team to give an oral presentation
    • ashleydoucette91
      ashleydoucette91 on 10 Oct 21
       
      An example of 7I. - "support and expand learner expression in speaking, writing, and other media" Having small student teams give an oral presentation about what they learned shows how they have expanded their learning. Prompting them to think about new things they learned and built upon previous knowledge. Speaking for a presentation is an appropriate medium for this.
  • Draw the outline of a tree on chart paper
    • ashleydoucette91
      ashleydoucette91 on 10 Oct 21
       
      Another example of 7I. Allowing the students to create a visual representation to support and expand all students' knowledge.
  • every student in the class create illustrations
    • ashleydoucette91
      ashleydoucette91 on 10 Oct 21

    • ashleydoucette91
      ashleydoucette91 on 10 Oct 21
       
      This is another example of 7I. It allows students to express themselves in a way that isn't always thought of. This could be shared in either written or oral form.

Visual Impairment in the Classroom

      Another great classroom resource!
  • Visual cues are central to most early childhood education systems.
    • sadielaurenn
      sadielaurenn on 17 Nov 21
       
      This is incredibly true, almost every lesson we will teach have some aspect of a visual. How will we accomplish our lessons without visuals?
  • In a school environment, visual impairments can cause difficulties when it comes to traditional reading and writing activities, reading at a distance, distinguishing colors, recognizing shapes and participating in physical education games which require acute vision, such as softball and kickball.
    • sadielaurenn
      sadielaurenn on 17 Nov 21
       
      Prior to research, when I heard "vision impairment" I would typically think of someone who is blind. Throughout researching this disability I have realized that it is so much more. Something as simple as needing glasses for being near sided or far sided is consider a vision impairment.

    • sadielaurenn

      Below are some very basics tips to help accommodate your visually impaired students.
  • Children and adults with low vision are not considered legally blind, they simply have reduced vision at or lower than 20/70. Students who are blind have vision that is at or lower than 20/200. Nonetheless, only 15% of students with visual impairments are considered to be completely blind, with no light or form perception ability
    • clwisniewski
      clwisniewski on 17 Nov 21
       
      An interesting statistic!
  • Children with visual impairments often start off learning to read and write with the assistance of low-tech solutions, such as high-intensity lamps and book-stands. Sometimes screen magnification and computer typing and reading programs are used. In other cases, low vision students will learn to read using the Braille system over text, or a combination of the two. However, as students progress through early grade levels and reading and writing activities become more demanding, periodic literacy skills assessment is required to ensure additional resources and adaptive strategy instruction are provided to meet their needs.
    • clwisniewski
      clwisniewski on 17 Nov 21
       
      It's good to continue assessing visually impaired students in case they need further assistance.
  • For those students with visual impairments who do not master Braille, making use of technology to facilitate reading is fundamental. In fact, most talented Braille readers prefer to use computers or tablets when reading for fun anyway. And students who learn to use a computer not only find homework easier to complete, but often become faster readers. It is simply more efficient for low vision students to use a computer and word-processor over reading paper books and handwriting. This is particularly relevant at a high-school level, when reading and writing assignments become lengthier and more challenging.
    • clwisniewski
      clwisniewski on 17 Nov 21
       
      This could be included in a student's IEP, so they have access to a device that can assist them with reading and writing.
