“Best Practices” in Special Education (pgs. 62-63) have been identified as those
strategies and activities most likely to be effective in working with students. Choose
3 of the instructional components listed on page 62-63 and give some examples of
what an activity might look like in your classroom using that strategy/activity.
Component: Examples:
1. Technology Students may be allowed to use laptops, iPads, Braille
Notes / Braille Senses, and other devices as needed. My
classroom will include devices such as audio readers and
make use of other technologies, including videos, websites
and educational apps, etc. in order to engage students in
ways that are accessible to them.
2. Sequencing Information will be presented in a sequence that makes
sense. For example, if teaching history I would go in a
chronological order, bringing back past events to explain
more current ones and to show the repetition of history in
general. If teaching math, I would not introduce concepts
such as long division until foundational concepts had been
taught first.
3. Augmentation of
teacher instruction
I will modify my instruction as needed to best fit the needs of
my students. For Deaf or hard of hearing students, this may
mean teaching or providing lecture videos in American Sign
Language, or written companions to lectures if the student is
not fluent in ASL. I would also make sure all videos I used in
class were captioned. For students who are Blind or have low
vision, I would provide Braille or large print materials as
needed, or audio versions of texts.
Other ways that I could augment instruction would be
providing additional 1:1 support to students as needed,
providing lectures notes or summaries of the texts we use.
Additionally, I may change the format of tests in order to
support student needs.
In addition, answer the following questions (pgs. 66-68):
1. What is Direct Instruction? What are some benefits? Disadvantages?
Direct Instruction is a very structured teaching strategy that focuses on review,
re-teaching, intensive and frequent practicing of concepts and skills, and corrective
feedback. Some benefits are that research has shown it to be very effective for students
with mild disabilities. However, one major disadvantage is that it can be severely
