Educators need to consider the need for education support when designing a curriculum, and incorporating accommodations and adaptations. Students may need to be given more time to complete a task, or have access to special tools and materials. There are also many other services that schools can provide to help students learn, including speech and hearing screening, educational technology services, writing centers, tutoring, and career counseling.
Adaptations, accommodations, and modifications need to be individualized for students
Adaptations, accommodations, and modifications are all used to address barriers that may inhibit students from achieving their full potential. While they are generally not a permanent solution, they can improve student access to learning and improve the overall quality of education. They are designed to allow students with special needs to overcome obstacles and participate in classroom instruction.
There are many different types of accommodations, ranging from reducing testing time to changing the way students receive information. For example, a student with dyslexia could listen to an audio version of a book.
Career counseling, educational technology services, writing center, tutoring, and speech and hearing screening
Whether you are new to the University of Nebraska at Kearney or you are just looking for the best advice, you can find it all at the Career Center. From navigating graduate school applications to mock interviewing and year-by-year career road map, the center’s services are designed to help you succeed. The writing center, on the other hand, is a great place to improve your academic writing skills. It is staffed by undergraduate and graduate students who are trained in good writing habits.
Library services
Providing a physical location for learners to meet outside of the classroom, libraries provide a unique opportunity for students to develop information literacy skills. They also facilitate the sharing of expensive materials among teachers.
School librarians select resources from the library’s collection in accordance with educational criteria. This means that they are selected without regard to political, religious, or partisan views. They are also required to follow the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights, which ensures equitable access to all library resources.
In-person presence is important for students in a virtual environment
Several studies have shown that in-person presence is important for students in a virtual environment. Previous research has highlighted negative consequences of psychological and relational distance. However, few studies have investigated the role of physical presence in student achievement.
The current study explores the influence of physical presence on the perception of achievement in virtual role play (VRP). The participants participated in a role-play activity in a virtual classroom. Then, they were asked to reflect on the interaction. The results show that individual differences marginally influenced both physical and social presence.
Ongoing supported education
Despite its relative lack of hype, supported education has its perks. Not only does it make the educational process more manageable for students with mental health disabilities, it also makes existing educational institutions more inclusive. It is also an excellent way for students with psychiatric disabilities to gain the social skills they need to succeed in life.
Supported education is most often a group effort, involving a variety of partners: schools, providers, and consumers. The most successful programs provide a high quality, high impact education experience for students with a wide variety of learning needs.
MSEA Education Support Professional (ESP) of the Year Award
NEA Education Support Professional of the Year Award is an annual award that recognizes outstanding accomplishments and contributions of education support professionals (ESPs). The award is a program sponsored by the NEA Member Benefits Department, and honors a ESP that shows exceptional commitment to student achievement. This award also promotes the value of ESPs to the community, highlighting the importance of their work at local events.
Applicants for this award must be current PSEA members who have completed at least three years of membership. They must be working in an ESP role or in a school setting, and have provided specific examples of their work in order to qualify.
European Schools promote access to learning by creating flexible learning environments
Creating flexible learning environments will ensure that students are able to bring their “A game” daily. In addition to ensuring students’ academic performance, educators will need to devise new face-to-face teaching strategies. In some countries, this will involve the use of a hybrid approach, combining online and face-to-face learning.
The best learning environment is one that takes into account a student’s unique needs and uses different teaching methods and group sizes to achieve this. This includes the use of digital learning platforms, as well as innovative assessment tools and techniques.
