Quick reference teaching strategies for educators
Just as students require the assistance of teachers in order to secure their educational path and successfully navigate social situations, classroom behavior, critical thinking skills, and study habits, so too do teacher sometimes necessitate outside help when conducting quality lesson plans. This is especially true when it comes to providing engaging and meaningful instructions for students with special needs or who require certain accommodations.
Mentoring Minds offers research-based teaching strategies for educators of all levels, subjects, state requirements, and more. Among the highly valuable teaching strategies we provide, there are useful and easy-to-use teaching wheels for every needs, from critical thinking and math, to Spanish and special accommodations.
The Accommodations Wheel from Mentoring Minds gives teachers more opportunity to bring equal access to instruction and assessment to students who require accommodations. This teaching wheel is one way to use the Response to Intervention (RtI) approach with challenged young learners. The Accommodations Wheel offers teaching strategies for guiding students to successfully exhibit their knowledge and skills.
Part of providing accommodations is making sure all students have equal access to the curriculum. There are many accommodations listed for educators to use as they involve students in classroom instruction. The selection of appropriate accommodations allows young learners with challenges or disabilities to actively participate with other students in the classroom and school wide activities.
Some accommodations on this teaching wheel reference what the teacher can do to lend support to their students, while others focus on what the student can do to access instruction successfully. Mentoring Minds Accommodations Wheel meets legal requirements for IDEA and Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act. Use this tool in conjunction with an IEP or 504 meeting in order to map out appropriate accommodations for students during the planning process.
Every student deserves to have his or her instructional needs met, regardless of accommodations. Teachers can forgo some of the difficulty of providing proper accommodations with this quick reference guide to promoting higher success in each and every student.
