- Inquiry
- social studies
- Historical ways of thinking
- evidence and intepretation
Anmerkungen:
- Inquiry in a kindergarden classroom- Kids are in charge of their own learning, teachers facilitates and answers questions. Usually stations are involved, students have free exploration times, similar to play based learning.
- Historical perspective
Anmerkungen:
- Taking on someone else's perspective to understand history. Taking on the past to understand the present.
- historical significance
Anmerkungen:
- Determining whether or not an event, person, or development has significant value. Different guidelines for determining, give students tools to determine and understand significance. * What is significant to one group of people is not necessarily significant to others. Global, national, regional, individual.
- continuity and change
Anmerkungen:
- I focussed on teaching social studies to students with visual and hearing impairments, I looked at different strategies and resources available. Using visuals is great way to teach students about continuity and change who are hearing impaired. Provide recorded tapes for students who are visually impaired to take home and listen too. Students sometimes misunderstand history as a list of events. Once they start to understand history as a complex mix of continuity and change, they reach a fundamentally different sense of the past.
- cause and consequence
Anmerkungen:
- In examining both tragedies and accomplishments in the past, we are usually interested in the questions of how and why. These questions start the search for causes: what were the actions, beliefs, and circumstances that led to these consequences? People have motivations and reasons for taking action (or for sitting it out), but causes go beyond these. For example, the Vancouver anti-Chinese riot of 1887 certainly involved the racial attitudes and motivations of the white workers who rampaged. Did the workers cause the riot? In some sense they did. But the causes must be set in the larger context of employers paying Chinese workers a fraction of the regular wage rate and the desperate situation of Chinese Canadian workers after the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railroad.
- ethical judgement
Anmerkungen:
- Poverty in the classroom, keep expectations high for them. Careful of what projects to assign because of limited resources. Have various different resources available in the school for students to use.
Anmerkungen:
- There is a great connection between special education and social studies. Social studies is the study of people and politics, often when learning about social studies you are also learning about how to make ethical decisions. It is important to develop ethical jugdement skills and know approparite ways to work with others especially in education.
- Special education
- Categorical approach: logical
and systematized way of
identifying, defining,
classified and categorized.
Student support team.
Assessments (look for
reliability & validity.
- Non categorical Approach:
Looks at student performance
relative to expectations,
identifiying instructional needs,
monitoring , evaluates progress.
Anmerkungen:
- The connection between governance and special education- the government determines the funding towards special education and the laws and forms that need to be filled out in order to get the funding.
Anmerkungen:
- Governance is linked to social studies because learning about the history of people involves learning about the governance that worked? didn't work? and how we can learn from it?
- Advantages,
disadvantages to
being labeling, steps
to being designated
special needs in BC
Anmerkungen:
-
Something that surprised me while doing this research was
how many disadvantages there really are associated with being labeled/
designated with special needs. Some of
the reasons I found while researching include: students feel different from
other students, teachers having pre-conceived ideas, guilt for both the parents
and the student and sometimes designations can shape and lower teachers’
expectations. As future teachers, I think that it is very important to remember
that every student is different, unique and has his or her own story. Even if
you have two students in your class with autism, it is important to remember
that the student is more than just their label, they are an individual who can
learn and be successful in what your teaching them and they should not be
limited by their designation. It is the teacher’s job to get to know the
individual student, to understand their strengths and stretches and adjust
their teaching styles and strategies to fit the needs of all of their students.
- Correlation between poverty and special needs
Anmerkungen:
-
During this presentation I was reminded just how much
poverty can affect a student’s life. If a student’s parents are working all
day, and all night just to put food on the table and to buy clothing for their
children, this can have a really negative impact on the child’s development. If
the child is having no time with adults/parents when they are home, no one to
read to them or help them with homework, then I believe that this could
definitely contribute to students being designated as special needs or
developing development delays. Children need social time with their parents to
interact, problem solve and develop new skills.
- Special needs in Private schools
Anmerkungen:
-
Something that really surprised me during this presentation
is that private schools can choose who they let attend their schools. For
instance if they had someone come to their school with multiple disabilities
that they didn’t want, they could just tell them that they can’t attend. They
have autonomy to choose who and who doesn’t go to their school. I personally
don’t agree with this, I don’t think a school, even if its private, should be
able to discriminate against any student. Many students with special needs who
don’t get enough support through the public education system would likely turn
to private schools if they could afford it. I don’t think it is justified to be
able to refuse any student for any reason.
- Real life skills in special education
Anmerkungen:
-
During this presentation we watched a video called “This Special
Ed Teacher's Real-World Lessons will Inspire You “ something I really
liked about this video is just how dedicated the special education teacher was,
she was not only trying to cover curricular concepts, she was also looking into
later life and trying to give her students skills they will need for their later
life outside of the classroom. She
brought something to her school called “coffee cart” she wanted her students to
have a chance to be part of the school community. Through this experience the students learned
life skills such as: how to count money, give change, talk to strangers,
interact with people, take orders, distribute food. The students clearly enjoyed this experience
and felt empowered and useful which I think is really important.
- Funding for Aboriginal
students with special needs
Anmerkungen:
-
Something
interesting that I learned from this inquiry presentation is that Aboriginal
students with special needs can receive funding from both Special Education and
Aboriginal funding. To receive
Aboriginal funding the student must self-identify as being Aboriginal and their
status must be proved to individual bands, they also must fill out form 1701.
To receive funding through Special Education services the student must be
assessed by qualified professionals, this must be documented and again, form
1701 must be filled out.
- Autism spectrum
disorder in the primary
classroom
Anmerkungen:
-
Something I learned from this power point presentation is
that Autism is often accompanied by other medical problems. Also it is very important to start
interventions as soon as possible after being diagnosed. There is no specific
medical test for Autism, therefore, diagnoses has to come straight from
observations. Some common social challenges include: having a hard time reading
social situations and social cues, some people also have difficulty regulating
emotions, communicating and may have difficulties seeing things from other
peoples perspective. Sometimes people with Autism will also develop repetitive
behaviors. Autism is becoming more and
more common and often is reported much more commonly with males.

- EARLY PRIMARY EDUCATION
Anmerkungen:
- See specific data from each neighbourhood, each kindergarten teacher completes same test. Test results are transparent and available to both parents and teacher.
- SPECIAL EDUCATION FUNDING
Anmerkungen:
- Assessment is taking far to long in BC which means students are not receiving the funding they need,The first 6 months of getting diagnosed is often the most crucial time to start intervention, funding and assessment not using done in this time period. Only 3 different level for funding, students must fit into these little boxed categories, So many different forms to fill out before you can even be considered for funding, FORM 1701.
- REAL LIFE EDUCATION
Anmerkungen:
- Life skills are getting more embedded in new curriculum, more freedom/autonomy for teachers
