Explaining my question and extensively describe what am I asking to assure that the student has understood what information is been asked.
Relate my question with images
e. Eye contact and sense of my role to be supportive and trusting me to express themselves.
Comments:
Making questions clearer to learning-disabled pupils through description and explanation will aid both their academic status and social development. Further, image/illustration employment will prove beneficial, particularly in case of pupils who relate better to images than text. By maintaining eye contact with children and offering them active support, children will develop trust in the teacher.
2. What are some of the ways in which you have recognized the achievements and efforts of students that are particularly appropriate for youngsters during adolescent development?
a. Reorganizing towards establishing: "The sense of developing identity"
b. Confidence in themselves, Self-Worth, Providing Positive Experiences.
c. Self - Awareness
d. Emerging Independence/ Autonomy
e. Positive behaviors are accepted can be supported by others easer (by family/teachers/friends)
Answer:
b. Confidence in themselves, Self-Worth, Providing Positive Experiences
Comments:
The adolescent age is accompanied by gradual physical, social, emotional, intellectual and personality transition from childhood to adulthood. Adolescents exhibit higher-level thinking compared to young children, and typically portray egocentric attitudes and conduct. They look to form a unique identity and achieve autonomy. This phase is highly sensitive and critical in an individual's life -- all one does and how others perceive one and behave with one triggers emotional responses. For instance, appreciating a teen's efforts and accomplishments helps them develop self-confidence and positive self-esteem, making their experiences at school positive.
3. How have you dealt with some of the difficult-to-manage feelings that typically arise in work with students with disabilities in grades 7-12?
a. A great emotional problem regarding their learning disability.
b. A student's personal performance becoming his/her great stressor.
c. Complexity of , loneliness, low self-esteem in inclusion class increasing.
Answer:
e. Anxiety, depression, loneliness, low self-esteem in inclusion class increasing.
Comments:
Classroom and overall school atmosphere reformation can help educators tackle some problematic emotions witnessed in disabled pupils. Some changes to incorporate are: Increasing teamwork and team decision-making opportunities; Employing open dialogue so that students can speak freely and improve scholastic performance; Giving vent to students' voice and helping them enhance their self-image; and organizing students in groups for class and varying group composition. Effective groups ought to exhibit diverse abilities and styles of learning in their project as well as give equal weight to creative, textual, graphic, presentation and other elements. Successful project completion necessitates group interdependency. The modes of writing and talking act as effective instruments by which learners share knowledge and other aspects in class. This decreases loneliness and anxiety among secondary school students and encourages them to confide in others regarding their experiences. Visual art is an effective channel to share thoughts and feelings without words. Students may also be grouped in small teams or pairs, where they discuss their views of educators and peers. Such classroom discussions offer a more accurate understanding of complex issues (Cohen, Cardillo & Pickeral, 2011).
4. What are some of the strengths you can build on and further develop in your work with students with disabilities in grades 7-12?
a. Monitoring my students progress through ongoing assessments
b. Does the student's progress involve both academic and social progress?
c. Resources that are adequate and can be accessible for students' academic success.
d. Developing my own Philosophy and adjusting it to my students' needs and styles.
e. Cooperating with the General Education Teacher and differentiate approachable ways.
Answer(s):
a. Monitoring my students progress through ongoing assessments
b. Does the student's progress involve both academic and social progress?
c. Resources that are adequate and can be accessible for students' academic success.
d. Developing my own Philosophy and adjusting it to my students' needs and styles.
e. Cooperating with the General Education Teacher and differentiate approachable ways.
Comments:
The foremost priority is scholastic and social development of general education pupils. Continuous child progress appraisal and monitoring proves vital to their success. Inclusion Classrooms are offered sufficient resources, and educators recognize that substantial material and human resources are needed for the success of such settings. Major stakeholders (including educators) discuss and formulate individual inclusion philosophies, which guide school practice and establish acceptance among all pupils. Every staff member is allowed to talk over the inclusion policy and philosophy adopted by the school. Special as well as general education teachers' duties and tasks are delineated; collaborative relationships among the two necessitate joint grasp of documented and occasionally revised requirements and expectations (Vaughn, Schumm & Forgan, 2016).
5. What have been some of the particular difficulties you have faced in your work with middle and secondary school students with disabilities and what steps can you take to improve in these areas?
a. A school Philosophy…

Formative assessment offers much potential to make both teaching and learning more nuanced and effective for students, particularly students who are attempting to master a new language. Integrating formative assessments into instruction for English Language Learners offers specific opportunities, empowering teachers to better attend to the students’ needs in learning and content, and more effectively helping these students develop the skills they need to master grammatical concepts and communicate with
formative assessments, are designed to be cumulative in nature. Formative assessments give feedback to the teacher regarding the students' comprehension of the lesson plan and enable the teacher to tailor his or her instruction to address student needs. Summative assessments have the goal of evaluating the success of the learning process for the student, teacher, administrator, or other relevant parties in a terminal fashion. State tests are one example
Transformative Assessment In Chapter One of his book, Transformative Assessment, James Popham defines formative assessment as, "a planned process in which teachers or students use assessment-based evidence to adjust what they are currently doing" (p 6.). Overall, Popham uses this chapter to present a clear and detailed definition of exactly what formative assessment is and is not. His overview also offers a thorough explanation of the development of formative assessment and
Formative Assessments Popham -1 - Implementing one of Popham's four "steps" should be regular and a part of the everyday classroom management edict. For instance, as instructor's collect evidence, they must decide whether to proceed, review, or change instruction; students use evidence of understanding to help them reroute thinking processes ro adjust learning procedures; and, depending on the climate of the classroom, both teachers and students should adjust assessment by using
