A.T.TIPSCAST Episode #44: Alternative Professional Development @ PUWT09 | The Compendiu... - 0 views

  •  
    Episode #44 is up for your listening pleasure and boy is it a doozy! It clocks in at just under 42 minutes! Yikes! Episode #44 is kind of a unique episode because it features a recording of a live event. Back on November 14th I was lucky enough to attend the Powering Up with Technology Conference in Prince George's County Maryland. At that conference I presented a session called Alternative Professional Development. I use the term "presented" loosely because, although I was listed as the presenter, the session was more of an integrated brainstorming session. I was more of the moderator for the discussion than a presenter. During the session we tried to outline some of the common problems with staff development happening in public schools and then try to come up with some solutions. During the course of the discussion a bunch of great ideas were mentioned about how to address some of the problems with the typical professional development model. Furthermore, a number of concrete resources are mentioned that can be used to assist students. You can access the entire presentation as generated by the audience here: Alternative Professional Development Presentation from PUWT09.

AT Consideration Guide on the App Store - 1 views

  •  
    "Description AT Consideration Guide: IDEA (1997) added the requirement that each IEP team consider the need for assistive technology as part of the Consideration of Special Factors. IEP Teams must also document their consideration of assistive technology in the IEP. The consideration guide can assist school divisions in developing a process for consideration of AT in the IEP process. This app was developed in collaboration with the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE)."

Literacy Development Begins at Home, With a Literate Home Environment - 1 views

  •  
    "One of the most effective approaches to helping young children develop literacy skills is having a home environment that supports literacy. Research clearly shows that instructional environments have a powerful impact on children's growth in reading. While much of the research on instructional environments focuses on classroom environments, researchers believe that the same effects may be found in supportive home environments."

Common Questions about AAC Services in Early Intervention - 0 views

  •  
    Children and adults with developmental delays have benefited from the use of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems to develop language skills necessary for more generative and functional communication. Beginning communicators however, have historically been considered too young or too pre-linguistic and therefore have not been introduced to AAC systems until behaviors, thought to be prerequisites, have been noted. Recent research and theories about early communication development have challenged this traditional practice and broadened the scope of what is considered to be AAC. Practitioners and parents unfamiliar with early AAC options may not recognize possible applications of communication strategies used with typically developing children and older persons with developmental disabilities. AAC is applicable at all ages for learning communication roles and behaviors as well as for functional communication for persons who do not yet demonstrate clear referential symbol use. This article addresses nine questions that are frequently asked about early introduction of AAC systems to children under 3 years of age. Rationales and strategies are provided that can assist early interventionists and parents in considering AAC options for children at risk for being unintelligible or non-speaking.

Noam Chomsky on the Purpose of Education - 0 views

    Watch this video as part of a professional development workshop or with students as a point of discussion about the point of education.
  •  
    Every student learns and develops at his or her own pace. Education is not about how fast a student can acquire information. Instead, it's about developing useful strategies individuals can use to process and integrate life's experiences in order to achieve whatever they choose to do with the time they are given.
