Introduction to Inclusion June 30th Work with Aki Kurose
Lesley Who is goofy, artistic, hard-working Who is sister of Doug Who loves the sun, coffee, reading Who feels anxious, tired, aware Who needs love, art, sleep Who gives love, time, respect Who fears failure, dark allies, falling Who would like to see South America, Puerto Rico, Ukraine Who shares her heart, her food, her friendship Who is outgoing, a perfectionist, forgiving Who is a resident of Seattle, WA Rosenthal I invite you into my poem

Creating a Modified Assignment THE OBJECTIVE IS FOR ALL STUDENTS WITH LEARNING DIFFICULTIES TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME CONTENT AND TO ENHANSE THE SAME TARGETED SKILLS AS THE GENERAL POPULATION 1. Identify the Objective of the overall assignment: * skills taught/practiced * content addressed2. Review the ‘original’ assignment3. Identify the skill level of the students for whom the assignment is being modified4. Plan backwards. - design the end product of the assignment (worksheet, paper, project, letter, etc…)5. Identify what necessary scaffolding the targeted students will need to achieve the end product. 6. Begin working by consulting the original assignment and building and adapting the language or the skills to fit your target group.
Evaluation Most importantly, we must work to constantly redefine what success looks like so that every student can have a shot at it.
