Top 10 Tips for Teachers 1. Learn about the learner from the learner One teacher asked his student to create a list of teaching tips that might help kids with learning differences; the teacher then published the guide and passed it out to all the educators in the school. Be sure to ask parents for tips on approaches they have found most useful at home and see if they can provide videos of the student engaged in different family and community activities.

Use these simple tips to support students with autism in the inclusive classroom

2. Teach to fascinations One of my former students, Patrick, had few friendships and seldom spoke to others until a new student came into the classroom wearing a Star Wars T-shirt. Patrick’s face lit up upon seeing the shirt and he began bombarding the newcomer with questions and trivia about his favorite film. The new student, eager to make a friend, began bringing memorabilia to class. The two struck up a friendship and eventually formed . . . Read the rest at http://bit.ly/PKTips

What is Project SEARCH®

EXCERPT

and how does it work?

Find out in this article from our Disabilities newsletter: It costs employers money to recruit, train, and retain good employees. They want workers who are dependable, well trained (and willing to be trained), who get along with others, and who have a good attitude. In cities and towns around the country, businesses are discovering prospective employees with these very qualities who have graduated from the Project SEARCH® High School Transition Program. Project SEARCH is a school-to-work program with a remarkable success rate for placing students with intellectual and developmental disabilities in paid employment that is both rewarding to them and valuable to their employers. The program has been so successful that it has grown from its original site in Cincinnati to over 200 sites across the United States and Canada, England, Scotland, and Australia.

The origins of Project SEARCH Project SEARCH grew out of a search for a real-world solution to a real-world problem. Erin Riehle, then nursing director of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Emergency Department, was frustrated by chronically high turnover and lackluster performance of personnel hired to stock examination room supply carts. Typically, the most readily available pool of candidates for this position consisted of undergraduates hoping to get into medical school, nursing students, and others who wanted to add hospital experience to their resumes. Although these were competent, bright people, they lacked any real interest in the job. During the same period, Erin saw a young man with developmental disabilities bagging groceries at the grocery store, and the germ of an idea was born. She asked herself. . .

Thousands of schools across the country use these two authentic, research-based systems to help teachers teach and help achieve better reading outcomes. Guiding teachers step-by-step through diagnostic assessment, targeted intervention, and effective progress monitoring, TPRI® and Tejas LEE® solve key challenges for everyone: TEACHERS are empowered with everything they need to link assessment data with targeted interventions and solve their students’ reading problems.

STUDENTS who may be at risk for reading failure get individualized help before problems escalate. Assessment is quick and engaging, and intervention activities help students master reading skills they’ll need to excel in every subject.

Tejas LEE® is an authentic Spanish assessment, not a translation of TPRI®. The two systems were developed by separate teams of experts and piloted on different populations of students—so you can be confident they’re effectively meeting your students’ needs.
