Assignment 1b: Strategy Observation It is important to understand how the use of appropriate instructional strategies are beneficial for students with disabilities. Teacher candidates should be able to demonstrate the ability to adapt and modify the general education classroom to provide strategies to assist students with disabilities to optimize their behavior, academic performance, social skills, and study skills. Write at least a 1-page summary of your general observations of the various strategies used in the classroom. • Briefly discuss the instructional strategies/practices observed and how they were applied in the classroom setting by the general education teacher. Include an analysis of the soundness or appropriateness of the strategies. • Explain how the literacy and language needs of students were met. • Were there any English language learners in the class? How were their unique needs met? • Identify 1-2 students (preferably with disabilities). What supplementary aids/supports (accommodations) were used to accommodate their unique needs? What did you find to be the most challenging aspect of accommodating the diverse needs of students with disabilities? • Was co-teaching utilized? What model(s) of co-teaching was/were observed? NOTE: Include a copy of the cooperating teacher’s lesson plan that documents the learning activities observe and the small group instruction taught by you.
