Mathematics Instruction for Secondary Students with Learning Disabilities Eric D. Jones, Rich Wilson, and Shalini Bhojwani March/ April1997 Journal of Learning Disabilities Volume 30, Number 2, pp.151-163 Reprinted by Permission Table of Contents: Abstract Prior Achievement Perceptions of Self-Efficacy Attributes for Failure or Success Content of Instruction ... References Secondary students with learning disabilities generally make inadequate progress in mathematics. Their achievement is often limited by a variety of factors, including prior low achievement, low expectations for success, and inadequate instruction. This article will discuss techniques that have been demonstrated to be effective with secondary students who have learning disabilities in mathematics. The body of research on mathematics instruction for secondary students with learning disabilities (LD) is not developed well enough to describe a specific and comprehensive set of well researched practices, but it is sufficient for defining a set of procedures and issues as clearly associated with effective instruction and increased student achievement. In this article, data- based investigations of procedures that have evaluated the effectiveness of mathematics instruction with secondary students with LD will be discussed. Although this discussion will be based primarily on studies that were limited to secondary students with LD, some research; on the instruction and achievement of younger students or higher achieving populations will be considered.

(An Education World e-Interview with Roxann Kriete, co-author of The First Six Weeks of School) The latest book from the folks behind the Responsive Classroom approach focuses on the all-important first six weeks of school. Careful planning of those first weeks can pay big dividends throughout the rest of the school year, according to Roxann Kriete, co-author of The First Six Weeks of School. Today, Kriete takes time to answer a handful of questions from Education World and to give our readers a preview of the kinds of helpful tips that pack the pages of this new book! Included: Tips for teaching students to be independent workers and chat about the importance of starting the day with a morning meeting and ending it with a brief period of reflection! Every experienced teacher knows that the tone for the entire school year develops in the opening weeks of school. During those early days, students learn the rules and routines that will remain in place all year long. It's also the time when teachers can patiently instruct students in such skills as working independently, cooperating, and being responsible! The

Campus: Office of the Chancellor April 16, 2001 CSU Honors 21 Students For Work In Community Service Learning California State University has honored 21 students throughout the state with the STARS (Students That Are Recognized for Service) award to acknowledge their outstanding efforts in their service learning projects and their ongoing commitment to serve the community. Students from 20 different campuses were selected for their innovative efforts that improved the lives of individuals, or the community at large in at least one of the following areas: social justice, social, economic, health, public safety, or environmental issues during the last year. The CSU Office of the Chancellor and the systemwide Office of Service Learning created the STARS award last year. "The STARS award recipients are student leaders at the California State University and exemplify our students' dedication to community service," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "They have raised awareness on issues facing the elderly and disabled, promoted sustainable agriculture, tutored children, and provided over 10,000 hours of community service within the past year." More than 135,000 CSU students systemwide perform a total of 33.6 million hours of community service annually. That would be a minimum wage value of approximately $193.2 million.

There are 25 students enrolled on the BTEC Foundation Course in Art and Design, with the majority of students aged between 18 and 45. The course is an intense one year programme designed to prepare students for degree or HND courses at University/Art School. What did the Museum offer? What we did on the visit The students had been working on a project related to the theme 'Structure'. Studio work had initiated the practical and visual research, and a visit to the Science Museum was included to develop and extend this input. The students were to collect, sketch and photograph information and subjects which interested them and which related to this theme. This material would then be organised and presented in sketchbooks or worksheets. Students were aware that they were looking for such material as; load bearing, architectural, mechanical, technological, microbiological and geological structures. How and where they found this was up to them. Maps and guides were issued and advice given about the museum. At the start there is a natural tendency for students to spend a lot of time wandering the galleries and getting involved with the more fun/interactive exhibits. Students were advised to spend no more than 30-40 minutes exploring, after which they were required to start their tasks. Students who did not start early found the experience overwhelming, the time remaining insufficient and the task daunting.

What Teachers Should Know and Be Able to Do Introduction What Teachers Should Know and Be Able to Do Policy Position (Five Core Propositions) Supporting Statement ... Conclusion Proposition #3: Teachers are Responsible for Managing and Monitoring Student Learning Professional teachers hold high expectations for all students and see themselves as facilitators of student learning. To fulfill these responsibilities, teachers must create, enrich and alter the organizational structures in which they work with young people. They also find ways to capture and sustain the interest of their students. Because time is a precious commodity in schools, teachers attempt to make the most efficient use of it. To accomplish these tasks, teachers seek to master the body of generic pedagogical knowledge. Teachers Call on Multiple Methods to Meet Their Goals Because students vary in learning styles and because different settings afford differing learning opportunities, accomplished teachers know when and how to alter the social and physical organizational structure of the learning environment. It is not enough to be a master lecturer, for there are many times when lecturing is not an effective way to teach. An outdoor experiment, a mock trial or an economic simulation, for example, may be more appropriate. Alternatively, a playlet or a debate might be a more effective way to engage students in thinking and learning. Teachers know about the breadth of options available to them, such as innovative instructional formats that involve discovery learning, conceptual mapping, brainstorming, working with computers, as well as more traditional tried-and-true methods.

Active Learning Nedra Lundburg, Faculty Fellow January 2002 What is it? Students are shareholders in learning, have a stake in the process. Students become independent, self-reliant learners. Students are actively talking, reading, writing, thinking and/or doing something to make the material their own. Concerns about active learning and responses/solutions to concerns Slows class down, class and instructor cover less material Lecturing, even at its best, sometimes is a “stenography” exercise, i.e., students try to transcribe instructor’s lecture, with the resulting student notes often not a pretty sight. Students misunderstand lecture material even when carefully, clearly organized. Students do not retain information from lectures very well, particularly as the class period goes on. Studies indicate students retain only 20% of the information from the last portion of the lecture. Makes classroom management more difficult, particularly when using group work or questioning Careful planning of tasks and clear directions make these activities productive Using a series of strategies helps make group work and questioning orderly and productive.

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Educational Programs That Work - 1995 Learning to Teach in Inner-City Schools and With Diverse Populations (LTICS) Learning to Teach in Inner-City Schools and With Diverse Populations (LTICS). A program designed to develop teachers who choose to teach in schools with inner-city and/or diverse populations and are effective in teaching these populations. Audience Approved by PEP for school districts serving low income multicultural families with a teacher-preparation college nearby, school populations that include teachers and students in grades PreK-12, and all subject area teachers, student teachers, and supervisors. Description Learning to Teach in Inner-City Schools and With Diverse Populations (LTICS) involves the creation of a Teaching Academy that is a collaborative effort of a local inner-city school and a nearby teacher education college. The school/college partnership provides a structure in which a group of supervising teachers, college supervisors, and student teachers develop and learn to implement effective instructional strategies for diverse school populations. The LTICS program is designed to change how teachers think about instruction in the inner-city schools. Weekly seminars focus on understanding the community and students' culture, working with neighborhood children and their families, managing classrooms, cooperative learning, using positive behavior management techniques, planning appropriate lessons, challenging higher-level thinking skills activities, and linking students background knowledge with school lessons.

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Study of School-To-Work Initiatives Cross-Site Analysis June 1995 CRITICAL ELEMENTS OF SCHOOL-TO-WORK REFORM ELEMENT SEVEN: WORK-BASED LEARNING STRATEGIES In theory, most vocational programs offer actual or simulated work experience. Integrating work into the learning experience of students, however, is a more complex and demanding activity than simply placing students in workplaces. Successful transition systems offer a variety of work-based learning experiences, building on local labor market conditions and allowing for differences in student interest, aptitude, and developmental stage. Schools and employers benefit from substantial flexibility to develop a school-to-work transition system that builds on local strengths and is tailored to local needs and circumstances. The local marketplace helps define the work-based opportunities available. Although business conditions constrain the options somewhat, effective school-to-work systems offer options, in terms of type of occupation or industry and type of experience, and sufficiently varied to provide students with choices that will interest them. Transition systems can include a menu of options such as business-based experiences, school-based enterprises, entrepreneurial programs, youth apprenticeships, mentorships, cooperative education, and service-learning. Programs also use a range of strategiespaid or unpaid work experiences, during the school day or after school, based in the school classroom or in a "community classroom"and customize programs to fit the needs of youth, schools, business, and the local community.
