COLLABORATION LEARNTOGETHER
SHAREDSUPPORT COLLABORATION
Tech Use? • Growth – So Many Solutions/Tools • Interest – Motivation – Peers – Siblings • Under-utilization – Evaluation – Implementation • Tech in the IEP
Nolan – The Basics Strengths • Able to take information he hears and remember & apply • Interested in music • Very social individual • Wants to demonstrate what he knows • Interested in books
Nolan – The basics • Poor reader – 1st grade reading level • Horrible handwriting – able to write first name • Limited ability to work with keyboard • Socially immature – behavior challenges • Counting skills stop about 13 • Alternate assessment
Nolan & AT • Where would you begin? • What process would you follow? • What instruments/tools would you use? Why? Who would be engaged? Why? • What would you expect for outcomes? Would these be separate goals? Would they be tied to the IEP Goals?
Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary • Mary, Mary, quite contrary, • How does your student grow? • With follow-up and training • And data collected on each goal.
Consideration Forms 6 • Texas AT Network - http://www.texasat.net/default.aspx?name=trainmod.consideration • WATI - http://wati.org/& GPAT - http://www.gpat.org/information on how to assess for AT considerations. • Fritschi’s AT Tool Chart- http://fritschi.home.mindspring.com/tools2.html - Excellent resource to get one thinking about AT Solutions.
UDL 3 Principles • Provide Multiple Means of Representation • Provide Multiple Means of Action and Expression • Provide Multiple Means of Engagement
UDL 101 Number of Web-based Tutorials
Back to Nolan • How does UDL fit within Nolan’s needs? • Where would you lead with UDL? Where in Nolan’s IERP would you say it is not AT but instead, we will address through classroom-wide/school-wide UDL efforts? Explain. • What strengths/weaknesses for Nolan appear to scream, “put UDL-based solutions here?”
