Inclusion of Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Annotations by Ann Knackendoffel
|
Track #186632
Format: Extended learning
|
|
This Track is a collection of sites for my exceptional child class to learn about autism in general and learn some fundamental teaching approaches they might be able to incorporate into their future classrooms. As you prepare for students with special needs in your classroom, you may be aware of the increasing number of children being diagnosed with some form of autism. Like all disability categories we have studied, autism spectrum disorders run the full gamut from mild to severe. As you explore these sites, note information you think will be useful in working with these children in your classroom.

Differentiating Instruction and Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
Annotations by Ann Knackendoffel
|
Track #279133
Format: Resource list
|
|
This Track will serve a dual purpose of showing my Exceptional Child class how to create a Track and then use the content from the Track to help them explore the topic of differentiated instruction and UDL. Hopefully after looking at some of the sites, you will have a clearer understanding about what differentiated learning and instruction is all about and how you as a teacher can create UDL lessons to meet the needs of ALL learners in your classrooms. When you are finished exploring the site, write a short one-page paper about what you now understand differentiating instruction and UDL to be all about. Provide at least two examples of UDL in the three major areas of content, process and product. Finally, share how you think this will be useful in your future teaching and lesson planning.
