three to seven students, recommended especially for students with learning disabilities.
What is small-group instruction?
100
Applying learned skills to a new area of application without instruction.
What is adaption?
100
Some of the early warning signs of LD are subtle, and occur within a wide range of behaviors.
What is tenuous diagnosis?
100
Assisting teachers and students in the classroom while also attending sporting events and training workshops, which helps parents gain understanding of teacher's job.
What is volunteering?
100
Some children with this LD have difficulty working at a steady pace because their attention drifts off task. Consider using a timer to encourage your student to work steadily toward the goal.
What is ADD?
200
helps students with learning disabilities learn new skills.
What is on student with teacher?
200
This stage the student demonstrates the ability to preform the skill at a high level when instructions have been removed.
What is maintenance?
200
Some children develop slower then others, but do not have a LD. These students may just need to mature to get rid of some of the symptoms.
What is developmental differences?
200
Home conditions support learning to increase self-confidence in the child at home.
What is parenting?
200
Avoid memory overload. Assign manageable amounts of work as skills are learned. Build retention by providing review within a day or two of the initial learning of difficult skills. Provide supervised practice to prevent students from practicing misconceptions and "misrules." Make new learning meaningful by relating practice of subskills to the performance of the whole task. Help students to visualize math problems by drawing. Use visual and auditory examples. Use real-life situations that make problems functional and applicable to everyday life. Do math problems on graph paper to keep the numbers in line. Use uncluttered worksheets to avoid too much visual information. Practice with age-appropriate games as motivational materials. Have students track their progress. Challenge critical thinking about real problems with problem solving. Use manipulatives and technology such as tape recorders or calculators.
What is dyscalculia?
300
practice skills that the teacher presented, for learning disability students extensive practice is required.
What is material with student: seat-work activities?
300
This stage the learner attempts to make the skills automatic.
What is proficiency?
300
Some children are misdiagnosed. These affect the teacher's expectations and may have a negative impact on the students' education.
What is labeling?
300
Parent leaders can be trained to participate in parent-school organizations.
What is representing other parents?
300
Teaching strategies such as a tape recorder often is an excellent aid in overcoming some student's problem with this LD. Directions, stories, and specific lessons can be recorded on tape. The student can replay the tape to clarify understanding of directions or concepts. Also, to improve reading skills, the student can read the printed words silently as they are presented on tape.
What is dyslexia?
400
Once a concept is understood, students with learning disabilities need to practice, this keeps their interest. (note some students with LD do not like these)
What is material with student: instructional games?
400
This stage the skills are performed at different times and new situations.
What is generalization?
400
Historical data on preschoolers are inaccurate and unavailable. The reliability and validity of many prediction instruments remain uncertain.
What is miscellaneous factors?
400
Teachers providing parents on how to assist the student at home with coordinated classwork.
What is learning at home?
400
Shorten assignments. Check time spent on homework, and reduce it if appropriate. Write answers only, not the questions (photocopy questions). Use a computer as often as possible. Use software to help teach skills.
What is ADHA?
500
major advantages are: time efficiency, but certain guidelines should be followed to reach students with learning disabilities more effectively.
What is large-group instruction?
500
during this stage instructional goals help to keep the student focused and to help them preform skills accurately.
What is acquisition?
500
There are many biological and environmental factors that influence the development of a preschooler.
What is multiple influences on developmental progress?
500
Information must be provided in effective ways to inform parents of student progress.
What is communication?
500
Place students in situations where their particular skill or knowledge in a subject is spotlighted. Exercise short-term memory by exploiting visual memory strengths. Play guessing games to name objects and pictures. Start sentences to let the student finish them. Give visual clues when speaking to the student. Decrease frustration by avoiding finishing the student’s sentences for them.
What is dysnomia?
