Special Education Teachers: Effective Teaching Strategies | Concordia University - Port... - 1 views

  • Effective Teaching Strategies for Special Education
  • Working with Short Attention Spans Set clear expectations for all students. Break assignments into smaller pieces to work on in short time periods. Space breaks between assignments so students can refocus on their tasks. Share ideas with parents so they can help with homework. Carry out everyday routines consistently. Develop a reward system for good behavior, completing work on time and participating in class. Use visual and auditory reminders to change from one activity to the next. This may need to be done several times before the change is made. An egg timer is a good auditory tool that indicates a signal to begin or end an activity
  • Managing Constant Change
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Design teaching aids and lessons that are flexible. Add creativity to lessons and homework. Develop easy-to-use monitoring tools that are needs-based. Design lesson plans that can be modified to fit each student. Develop a set of resources and interventions that work.
  • Teaching Effectively
  • Use a multiple-scenario approach to developing lesson plans. Monitor and verify student responses to lessons. Evaluate and adapt lessons as necessary. Use peers to review lesson plans and to develop ideas that might be applicable. Develop and maintain a pool of mentors. Keep a list of resources for teaching, lesson plans and professional development Set a professional development plan for yourself and track your goals Develop or implement a system that allows for easy and comprehensive data collection to help monitor and adapt lessons Gather some tricks of the trade from fellow teachers, including those who do not teach special education.

Lectures don't work, but we keep using them | News | Times Higher Education - 4 views

  • As learning gains are predicted by study hours, not by class hours, this argument would hold up only if lectures were good at increasing the former and they are not: indeed, the more lectures there are, the fewer learning hours each generates.
  • There are alternatives to lecturing that have a much better record of generating learning hours, and some cost nothing. The only potential problem is that they may require more effort from students
  •  
    Short article covering some of the research about the limitations of lectures. For example, "For some educational goals, no alternative has ever been discovered that is less effective than lecturing, including, in some cases, no teaching at all" But also making the broader point that research has yet to effectively explore all of the possible applications of lectures. An example of evidence that can be used to guide pedagogical decision making.
  •  
    An interesting article particularly comments made on study hours. My thoughts are that some learners do gain the most out of independent study and / or reading information whereas others achieve most in class listening to lectures... I don't agree that there is a 'one size fits all' approach rather that teaching should be delivered in multiple ways so as to meet the learning needs of a diverse student cohort.
