Peer Support
Cooperative learning among peers Modeling Development of Information Organizer Development of Graphic Organizer Development of structured study guides Student selection of instructional material (i.e., reading, writing, math) Taped lessons Copy notes (peer or teacher) Student conferencing Combine and vary modes of lesson presentation Adjust language level to match the developmental and intellectual levels of students Let student practice given examples first. Then assign tasks to be completed. Provide opportunity for guided and independent practice in a variety of situations Limit number and length of directions Have students repeat/review directions (i.e., peer to peer, student to teacher) Give feedback that is as immediate, specific, and objective as possible Clarify error responses so that students do not make the same errors over and over again Reinforce progress towards desired outcomes Breakdown complex tasks into smaller, more manageable units Use verbal prompts to elicit desired results Use manual guidance (i.e., hand over hand) to facilitate correct responses Computer assisted instruction Assessment based upon teacher observation of student performance (i.e., daily work, portfolio, artifacts, projects) |
Extended test time
Test read to student by teacher or peer Oral testing (i.e., student retelling of information) Open book/note test Alternate testing (any demonstration of a student's understanding of concepts) Retesting Reduce the number of responses required on tests Use of curriculum based assessment Vary test format Objectively define mastery as related to each task. Tasks should be learned to mastery Reduce or remove distracting stimuli Use of concrete objects and manipulatives in all stages of instruction and assessment Emphasize important information Allow extra time to complete assignments/projects Limit the number of assigned tasks in the initial stages of learning. As the student's competency increases, expect the student to complete the same number of tasks as the rest of the class Use supplemental materials Alternate assignments accepted (i.e., modification to homework assignments) Flexible grouping/individual assistance Seating to accommodate needs Teacher proximity Use behavioral management techniques (i.e., contracts, time-out, token system, charts) |
