Recommended: Aims and importance of numeracy development for children

Learning goals are vital for all children to ensure that all students can achieve success and extend themselves to their full potential. I have created three SMART learning goals for Addison to develop on her current knowledge. The first goal is:

Specific- To be able to count to ten independently without teacher assistance.
Measurable- I will measure this goal by determining the number of correct answers in a range from one to ten through various assessment strategies.
Achievable- This is achievable as Addison knows how to count to 5 accurately but is unsure on the numbers from six-ten.
Relevant- Kindergarten are focussing on “AdS1: Emergent Strategies” (Australian Curriculum) within their numeracy topic.
Time-bound- I aim to be able to …show more content…

Addison can learn, participate, and develop new knowledge, equal to all the other students within her class. Addison however requires alternative assessment strategies and teaching techniques to ensure she is receiving the same amount of information on the topic. For example, if I was to teach this counting unit, I would develop multiple ways of counting to ten to ensure that Addison is provided the same opportunity to learn as every child. This could include counting out loud, counting each number visually on an interactive whiteboard, using manipulatives in the classroom, using a number mat, and jumping on each number, lining up ten children and counting the numbers in order etc. Assessing Addison’s knowledge of counting to ten would require me to observe her knowledge in a wide range of ways such as counting out loud in a quiet space, counting manipulatives in a line, stating the numbers on a numbered mat in order etc. These would all ensure inclusion and provide an opportunity for success within the …show more content…

Through implementing a school-wide focus on AUSLAN (Australian Sign Language) students throughout the school will develop a greater understanding of the challenges that students with a hearing impairment face daily. This goal is measurable through observations on the playground of Addison’s interaction with other students and unfamiliar teachers. Over the course of six-months, the school’s knowledge, and familiarity with AUSLAN will grow to become a useful way of communication. All students may also be able to utilise this within their outside of school activities such as sporting teams and when communicating with members of the public. In the case of an emergency, teachers will be able to communicate quickly and effectively with Addison and can direct her to a safe location without making her feel isolated or concerned. This school-wide communication method is a long-term gain for Addison as students on the playground who she may not interact with regularly, will also be able to understand sign language when it is used. This goal would also benefit the entire school community, as future any new or existing students who utilise AUSLAN will feel immediately seen, heard, and

The school argued that signing would become a “crutch” and limit a child’s ability to speak and interact with the hearing world (31). While Tressa viewed this as a positive program at the time, she later discovered the importance of sign and how it allowed Alandra to communicate to the fullest extent. After the family moved, Alandra began attending a residential school in Jacksonville. At this school, sign and speech were used in a “total communication” method. Here, Alandra was able to spend her entire day with deaf peers and learn how easy it was to communicate with them through sign language.

Previously for a Deaf Event I have read the book Deaf Child Crossing by Marlee Matlin. I found it nteresting to notice some aspects in this book about Marlee that are similar in the main character Megan from Deaf Child Crossing. Marlee herself had a sign put in her neighborhood that said "Caution: Deaf Child Crossing" as well as both her and Megan's love for the color purple. It was cool to find connections between both books. I would highly recommend this book for other ASL students.

Legacy Behind ASL Imagine how communication is done between those people who do not have the ability to hear or speak. Of course, there must be some ways of communication that are convenient for the deaf people to communicate. The founder of the American Sign Language , Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, discovered the new way of communicating between the deaf people. Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet was inspired by a young deaf girl named Alice Cogswell, which was his next door neighbor.

Only reading and behavior are identified as needed goal areas leaving out other academic areas, such as math and writing. However, these building goals were refined based on student’s past performance data. Datnow and Park (2014) state student achievement goals are essential to the cycle of continuous improvement and can be specific and measurable but they do not outline the details for classroom instruction and differentiation needed for every student. To help all students achieve, teachers need to systematically and routinely use data to guide instructional decisions and meet students’ learning needs. Some of the teachers in my building do a great job of implementing this cycle and other’s do not.

Hearing respondents felt being able to sign well (including having exceptional receptive, expressive, finger-spelling, and facial expression skills) and remaining professional and confidential were of the utmost importance, while Deaf respondents focused on the importance of an interpreter having a good attitude (including being willing to learn), respecting confidentiality, and interacting with the Community (p. 1). It is essential that we as interpreters find a middle point where we are not only striving to be the best interpreters we can be, but to also bear in mind that we have a critical role in the lives of people who might otherwise be denied the fundamental human right to communication. We have a responsibility to not only be true and honest to our consumers, but also to ourselves, which includes adhering to the AVLIC Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Professional Conduct, constantly self-monitoring, interacting with the Community, accepting feedback, and always taking necessary steps to further our knowledge through research, education, and experience. Only then can we even begin to pave the way to being a successful interpreter and an active, effective, and trustworthy participant within the Deaf

As a result, deaf children suffer from unqualified teachers and/or interpreters and do not receive the quality education as they deserve. This is a topic that strongly concerns me and I feel passionate about being part of changing deaf education to better support deaf children. To ensure that I am qualified and effective interpreter, I hope to achieve a score of at least a 4.0 of the IEPA exam. In addition, I want to learn more about how to work with other educational staff effectively. For example, learning to manage the teacher’s accent, a rapid pace of lecture, and how to organize positioning in the classroom, will be important to know.

On Monday, site visit six, Mrs. Corcoran projected on the board the thirty-nine cents in change, and which student had to count or guess the correct amount and whisper the answer to either Mrs. Corcoran or me. This informally assess and allows Mrs. Corcoran to monitors if students need more time to practice counting money. Informal assessment allows the students to be aware in their own learning of the lesson; for example, one student did not try to count the money and he refused to count, which shows the students was refusing to do the activity, which can be assume the student either understands the concept of counting change, or the student needs more practice. Most of the other students were fairly confident on counting change, which indicates students are close to fully generalizing the counting change or have reached the generalization step of

I incorporate this learned experience daily and learn through each success and discovered area of improvement. Addressing my students needs using a variety of assessment tools has been a beneficial practice to help guide instruction. Students have different learning styles and their strengths and weaknesses are not always apparent using the same methods of assessment. Utilizing formative, standards(goal)-based, anecdotal, observational and benchmarks has driven my instructional programs. The combination of different assessments provides me with a multi-dynamic perspective of my students allowing me to better understand their strengths, weakness and academic needs.
