Baseline Survey and Syllabus Review
Baseline Survey:
1.‘What experience do you have teaching or working with people with disabilities? I do not have experience working with students with disabilities. I am working now as a teacher assistant in ICT a class environment where I amworking with students who possess different learning needs, from autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, through to speech and language impairment. These experiences have helping me understand the importance of individualized instruction, tolerance, and the necessity of developing an atmosphere that is tolerant and welcoming to everyone. I am very happy working now with these students am aware that there is always something to learn, especially in learning new strategies and legal frameworks to further assist students with disabilities.
2.What questions do you have about teaching students with disabilities that you hope this course will address?
There are several questions that I hope will be covered in this course. Firstly, I am interested in understanding more about using high-leverage instructional practices effectively to support students with different needs. I am also keen on exploring how we can effectively implement assistive technology within the classroom for enhanced learning. A second area of interest is the process of creating culturally responsive individualized education programs (IEPs) from a student’s strengths and areas of need. Last, I have a desire to know about best practices in collaborating with families and other educators in order to give students with disabilities the assistance they require to be effective in academic and social settings
3.What should I know to better support you this semester?
In a bid to further help me during this semester, I appreciate instructions and well-structured deadlines so that I can effectively manage my work load.
