Week 10 Reflection

Week 10 Reflection

SPED310

Accommodations can be made for students whether it is in individual work, group work, direct instruction, or environmental accommodations.  Teachers who make accommodations in all aspects of education are most effective. For example, in the case study Nathan struggled most with reading and writing, so you would think he would be fine with his take home math homework, after reviewing it, most of the math homework was written math problems and story problems. 

Our group discussed what both the teacher and his parents could do to accommodate the reading portion of the homework so he could excel. Even though Nathan was competent in all other areas, accommodations could be made in individual assessments, group instruction, and direct instruction. With time and thought, and even prayer accommodations can be made for individual students to help them excel. Creating study guides, study helps. And visuals students are more likely to grasp the ideas and concepts. Plan for the one- to teach the whole. All students will benefit from all accommodations that will be made, it will always be a “win-win”! The sequencing of instruction and words you teach will also have an effect on the comprehension.
