Current Trends in Assistive Technology for K-12 Settings - Webinar - Sep 5, 2013 - 0 views
-
Register for this webinar
What:
Explore the current issues and trends surrounding assistive technology devices and service for public schools and districts. Current technology-related issues are catching the attention of many state and local education agencies with the development of operational guidelines surrounding implementation and development of technology in general. Assistive technology tools, devices and services have been interwoven into the fabric of least restrictive environment (LRE) to afford access to the general curriculum and instructional materials for our special needs students for many years (since IDEA 2004). However, with the onset of "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) or "Bring Your Own Technology" (BYOT) in addition to mobile technologies being used by all school personnel, district operational guidelines are blurring the line of assistive and instructional technology.

Every child, regardless of income, race, background, or disability can learn and must learn. And, our system of education—spread across 50 states, 15,000 school districts, and 95,000 schools—must embrace this core belief every day in every possible way. If our children are not learning, then we, as adults, have failed. That is why educators, advocates, parents, and policymakers need to make sure that students with disabilities have access to the general curriculum and are held to the same, high standards as their non-disabled peers. We can work toward this by: creating a culture of high expectations; ensuring students with disabilities have full access to college- and career-ready learning opportunities and assessments; and supporting students with disabilities so that they may excel in the general curriculum for college and career success.

Register for this event
What:
According to CAST: "Universal Design for Learning is a set of principles for curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn. UDL provides a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for everyone--not a single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs." Jen will give examples of multiple means of:
representation; how you show what you are teaching
expression; how students show what they're learning
engagement: how you "hook" students.
She'll talk about lessons that flexibly address a variety of materials, classroom conditions, staff, and students, and the benefits for UDL/technology integration from an AT standpoint.

New Industry Standard Promises Accessibility for Assessments - Curriculum Matters - Edu... - 0 views
-
The news is that a new, voluntary industry standard has been created for test-writing for all types of students. If widely adopted, it would essentially mean that tests would be written with a shared set of codes, or "tags," that create a common language describing their content. This would allow states, for instance, to switch test vendors without having to undertake a laborious translation process from one test-maker's digital "language" to another's.
Obama Administration Offers Flexibility from No Child Left Behind - 0 views
-
Today, the Obama Administration outlined how states can get relief from provisions of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act – or No Child Left Behind (NCLB) – in exchange for serious state-led efforts to close achievement gaps, promote rigorous accountability, and ensure that all students are on track to graduate college- and career-ready. “To help states, districts and schools that are ready to move forward with education reform, our administration will provide flexibility from the law in exchange for a real commitment to undertake change. The purpose is not to give states and districts a reprieve from accountability, but rather to unleash energy to improve our schools at the local level,” President Obama said. What this means for you: For Teachers: A collaborative learning culture where teachers can target instruction towards the needs of students and offer a well-rounded curriculum. Fair and responsible evaluations that are based on multiple measures including peer review, principal observation, and classroom work. For Principals: Greater flexibility to tailor solutions to the unique educational challenges of their students and recognition for progress and performance. For Parents: Accurate and descriptive information about their children’s progress and honest accountability that recognizes and rewards success – where schools fall short – targeted and focused strategies for the students most at risk. For Students: A system that measures student growth and critical thinking to inspire better teaching and greater student engagement across a well-rounded curriculum. For more information on how this flexibility package may affect you, read our blog post: What NCLB Flexibility Means for You

The Case for Inclusion: Does All Really Mean All? - 0 views
-
Things were so simple before. If a student was struggling in your classroom…there obviously was something wrong with them. Not your teaching methods (or curriculum for that matter). Things are not so simple anymore…nor were they ever…really. The prevailing attitude of “my way or the highway” in education is dying…albeit a slow death. There are those who cling to it because that is what they know. So…I can’t really fault them for it. As with any “practice,” one that involves a community, methods change and evolve…so the educational system of my days will look different 20 years from now.
