Special Education: Hard of Hearing Classroom Settings (Option B)The ClassroomStudents with hearing problems or hard of hearing students need fewer distractions in visual environments to concentrate on what their teacher is instructing and see the sign language. Moreover, there should be less background noise and auditory distractions. For that, classroom seating should be circular or horse-shoe seating so that students could see each other and the teacher while communicating (Guardino & Antia, 2012).The teachers desk should be in a position where she could interact with them more easily, which might be in the middle of the classroom or the seating of the children. The teacher should not turn her back on the students to be visually attentive to her and see what she is teaching for better comprehension. The childrens access to materials can be anywhere in the room, but they have to be well-organized. As mentioned earlier, the visual….

Education
In a classroom setting, there are different sets of people; they may vary from ethnic backgrounds, genders and abilities (Gravells, 2008). The constant need for equality in the classroom should be addressed, and no bias towards individuals should be displayed. Diversity must be well embraced; however this is not that easy. When introducing a set of individuals to each other, they may all react in different ways, some may be reserved and some may openly reject group conformity. A way to get by this is through ice-breakers. This is a form of team building which students can take part of and get to know each other. Ice breakers break down barriers and encourage teamwork and inclusion. Inclusion in the classroom is necessary, for no student should be left out in any way, especially because of their uniqueness; for example, they come from a different country, or they are generally physically….

Ensuring a Safe and Supportive ClassroomMaria comes from a biracial family, with her mother identifying as Hispanic and her father as African-American. The family recently moved due to her father's job transfer, indicating a possible economic necessity or opportunity. The new community is a small, rural town that is predominantly white and middle class. This contrasts with the large city from which Maria and her family moved. Maria's biracial identity encompasses both Hispanic and African-American cultures. This diverse background may have been more common in her previous urban environment but stands out in her new rural setting.Culturally responsive, trauma-informed action would be to organize a school-wide program on cultural awareness, biracialism, inclusivity, and the dangers of cyberbullying. Additionally, it would include setting Maria up with counseling services to address her trauma and feelings. Another option would be to invite Maria's parents to be a part of the cultural awareness program,….

Teaching & Reinforcing Your Procedures: clear and thoughtful plan for how to teach and reinforce procedures that includes an explanation for why the learner expects their plan to be effective with his or her student populationTeaching, particularly in the United States, has come under much scrutiny. Here, poor academic performance relative to other countries has caused much more scrutiny of K through 12 institutions. Likewise, the disparity between the overall quality of schools has also been a major point of contention for both politicians and instructors throughout the country. All of these variables are then coupled with strained state and local budgets, often requiring tough sacrifices as it relates to allocations of resources related to education. Due to these circumstances, it is important for current instructors to have a strong plan as it relates to reinforcing procedures within the classroom. This is important as it allows students and instructors to….

Classrooms That ork
The paragraphs below respond to the text and look at alternative ways to demonstrate reading comprehension to students. These paragraphs will offer new ways to look at ways to enhance students' reading experience.

Reading comprehension is an important part of developmental learning for young students. It helps build confidence and an eagerness to acquire knowledge. Reading is important because it expands the mind and promotes creativity. Promotion of comprehension furthers the learning experience because by understanding one concept, a student can understand others more easily. This is not just about retention of subject matter or a student moving onto the next level. For teachers, it is acquiring the tools to know how to access the strengths and weaknesses for each student to cater an individual strategy. A teacher needs to have the skills to know that each student works at their own pace regardless of making the grade. As….

Introduction The main purpose of this assignment is to analyze the arrangement of the classroom environment and assess why this kind of environment would efficaciously meet the individual needs of children with autism. Specifically, the video is one of a self-contained classroom that is designed for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The paper will outline the different modifications as well as visual supports that have been utilized in the classroom setting so that children with ASD can actively participate in everyday activities.
Classroom Analysis
One of the key perceptible aspects within the classroom that have been modified to facilitate learning for the students with ASD is visual supports. For instance, in the class tasks for the day, pictures have been used to illustrate precisely what will be the tasks for the day. In addition, it can be seen that each of the students including Aaron, Evans, Joe, and Amauri have a thread….

Summarizing and Note-TakingAbstractNote-taking is the primary method students use to record what they capture during a learning session with a teacher. According to cognitive psychologists, summarizing is done to; fill the missing parts and as a method of synthesizing information to a better understandable and simple form. The amount of notes taken is in direct proportion with achievement. To make notes worth-while, researchers suggest that students should consider them as a work in progress thus revised accordingly as new information is available. However, note-taking doesnt work for all students, especially those with learning disabilities, hence the concept of guided notes. Guided notes are prepared by the teacher and given to the students as handouts. Guided notes are a vital tool in improving learning, and their effective can be increased depending on how they are used. Using guided notes has a beneficial effect, especially on students test performance. In my class,….

The article suggests that the teacher looks at the classroom through the eyes of an ADHD student, rather than through his or her own eyes, and monitors the environment with an eye upon the types of distractions that can overwhelm the consciousness of an ADHD child. It also stresses the need for the teacher to remain constantly upon his or her 'toes' and look for potential pitfalls to the child's success, such as overly chatty neighbors. Children who discourage rather than reinforce the ADHD behaviors should surround the most distractible students in the classroom.
Keeping the room at an appropriate temperature will facilitate learning for all students, as well discouraging the use of 'toys' from home. However, while these suggestions may be valuable, it could be argued that a 'dull' and unstimulating environment could actually make it more, rather than less difficult for the child to concentrate, given the inability….

Classrooms for Army Noncommissioned Officer Academy Students
Educational Environment for Amy Noncommissioned Officer Academy Students

Education is important in any environment. The same goes for military training. Noncommissioned Officer Academy Students must experience a well balanced blend between military field training and academic proficiency in order to succeed in their military careers and in life outside of the Army as well. The learning environment in such contexts holds true to the strict regulations of the military, but allows for students to benefit from low student to teacher ratios with highly trained education staff and enjoy participation with their classmates that augments their education and training.

Classrooms in NCO contexts are still a military environment. As such, they do still carry with the very strict and rigid military themes and tones. All students are expected to carry with them their military discipline within the context of the classroom. Thus, the maintenance, organization, and cleanliness….

Setting Classroom Expectations
When dealing with a new group of students, it is essential that clear expectations are set from day one. However, expectations cannot be established merely by telling students what they must do and threatening them with dire consequences for misbehavior. Ideally, students should want to learn, and it is essential to make them willing participants in the process of setting expectations. This is particularly true of adult learners, whom are often more intrinsically motivated than younger learners (Motivating adult learners, 2013, University of Florida). One useful exercise is to have students brainstorm expectations themselves, either in groups or individually, and have the class vote on which ones will be the rules of the classroom. (The teacher can also contribute various suggestions). The teacher will then group the suggestions into useful categories, and finally a manageable amount of ground rules can be established.

This enables students to think critically about….

Classroom Arrangement and Early Childhood Autism The arrangement of the classroom environment could effectively meet the individual needs of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as the room is neatly divided, which helps ASD children delineate borders and boundaries, and bright colors are used to help convey important information—like the class schedule, vocabulary words on the board to learn, and so on. There is also plenty of space for peer interaction, which Bene, Banda and Brown (2014) note is helpful for peer-mediated instruction, as it allows students to discuss with one another and communicate more freely without obstacles getting the way.
There are also several lamps in one area to help give light and make the room brighter. The lamps are helpful for reading and give a warm, lively atmosphere to the classroom. They are like living room lamps so have the added benefit of being inviting and welcoming. As Ganz (2007)….

Another factor that impacts the level of community resources offered is that many of the schools do not offer intramural activities for elementary school students. Participation in these group activities are most often children from middle to middle upper class families; due in part to cost and accessibility.
Those representing the lower socioeconomic strata tend to take greater advantage of the social services available within the community. Social services purported to be available including both state funded and privately funded organizations that offer basic services including food, clothing and shelter, as well as public welfare such as Temporary Assistance to Need Families, Social Security benefits, Medicaid and Medicare. The Department of Family and Children Services is a large provided of social services and serves as the gatekeeper to many of the private agencies that offer foster care, domestic violence counseling services, child welfare services, as well as many levels of….

maintain a culturally relevant and anti-bias program in a classroom setting as well as the identification of some principles and strategies for working effectively with English as second language students and what type of support or training teachers might need to implement these principles and strategies. Finally, a description concerning some ways that teachers can control the classroom environment to enhance cultural relevant learning and specific examples of materials and activities that might be used is followed by a summary of the research and important findings concerning strategies for developing anti-bias programming in the classroom in the conclusion.
Ways that a culturally relevant and anti-bias program can be established and maintained in a classroom setting

Humans are naturally biased creatures and the process begins early on. For instance, Barta and Winn (1996) report that, "Children begin to develop biases and prejudices long before they reach our classrooms. Research shows that children….

The wealth of activities and opportunities that are available to teachers online enhances what is available to them for use in the classroom. Teachers who are well educated will make the most use of the available internet resources. Additionally, the modern classroom does not have to be a physical location; it extends into the cyber world. This fusion creates dynamic and exciting possibilities for both teacher and student, increasing the learning experience for all.

Instructional Strategy Into the Classroom
The instructional strategy selected for implementation in the classroom is job aids. There is a large body of research that suggests that job aids can be used to effectively improve understanding, cognition, retention and interpretation of material in the classroom (Dwyer & Spaulding, 2001). Simply defined, job aids are simple tutorials that often contain graphics used to illustrate the steps needed to accomplish a task or define a problem (Thiagi, 1999). They can come in many different forms including: checklists, decision tables, worksheets, flowcharts, diagrams or any other items that help improve student performance with regard to individual tasks, without requiring memorization of the specific steps or factual information related to the task (Thiagi, 1999).

A good example of a potential 'job aid' is a yellow pages directory (Thiagi, 1999) which helps people locate and use telephone numbers. Job aids work by improving an individual's ability….
