Based on your readings and research on typical language development, identify a minimum of three typical speech and language milestones from birth to age 5, using the “Language Milestone Timeline Chart.”

For each milestone identified, list potential causes of delays, implications for learning for children with those delays, and evidence-based learning strategies that can be used to support and enhance the communication skills of children with those speech and language delays.

Support your findings with a minimum of five scholarly resources.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Professional Development: Strategies For The Inclusive Classroom

/in /by

Special education teachers often provide training and support to general education teachers to promote successful inclusive practices in their classrooms. Understanding expectations, facilitating social skills, and designing and evaluating the effectiveness of positive learning environments helps all students, especially those with disabilities, learn and be productive in school.

Create a 12-15 slide digital presentation, to be given to general classroom teachers in a professional development setting, on inclusion and classroom management strategies that can be incorporated into classrooms. Include a title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.

The presentation should help the general education teachers build their skills in the following areas:

  • Identifying realistic expectations for the personal and social behaviors of students with mild to moderate disabilities in a general education inclusive classroom.
  • Assisting individuals with mild to moderate disabilities to develop their interpersonal skills for educational and other social environments.
  • Designing learning environments that motivate and encourage active participation in individual and group activities for individuals with and without disabilities.
  • Organizing, developing, and sustaining learning environments that support positive multicultural experiences.
  • Using collaborative learning groups and project-based activities to help individuals with and without disabilities practice self-determination and self-advocacy skills.

Support your findings with a 3-5 scholarly resources.

Describe how you would differentiate the strategy to accommodate student needs.

/in /by

It is important to design and develop multiple forms of instructional and differentiation strategies in order to implement instruction aligned to standards-based concepts related to reading and writing.

Part 1: Reading and Writing Chart

Using the “Literacy Toolkit 2: Reading and Writing” template, choose a grade level 1-8 and identify three standards related to reading and writing.

For each standard chosen:

  • Identify an aligned instructional strategy.
  • Describe how you would differentiate the strategy to accommodate student needs.
  • Research and identify materials, including digital tools and resources, needed to customize and personalize learning activities to meet the various learning styles of students during implementation of the strategy.

Part 2: Reading and Writing Reflection

Using the “Literacy Toolkit 2: Reading and Writing” template, summarize and reflect, in 250-500 words, on the strategies and aligned differentiation you would use to inform your instruction of reading and writing standards-based concepts. How can you make effective use of existing and emerging tools and resources to support the learning of all students? Include how your instructional strategies apply to the writing process including the processes and steps when developing a composition. Explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.
