Literacy and low incidence disabilities is the focus of this weeks project. The task is to build a resume or portfolio for individuals with a literacy and low incidence disability. As I think about the construction of a resume/portfolio is a very complex task for students with special needs. There are several questions that resonate with me as we began today's activity:Questions:
- Learning effective techniques to help students build a resume. Are there specific apps that allow for ease of construction based on student skill sets?
- How to support resource/inclusive education teachers with appropriate technology for use with their students?
- What are effective strategies for resume writing for students with disabilities?
- How do literacy skills impact the effectiveness of communication?
Today we had the chance to look at a student profile to build a neuro-developmental checklist. This activity will allow us to connect to an app that will help our student build a resume/portfolio. The following items are some salient points of discussion that I hope to discover over the course of the week.
- mother languages - word reading and reading comprehension social routines- capabilities of students - perception
- valued literacy
- expressing literacy skills - setup for success - challenge them
- Literacy is an intense social skill
This list holds special interest for me as I want to be able to use a similar checklist in my school. As we continue this activity, I am further interested in developing more effective approaches to literacy development. The idea of targeting functional academic skills and strength based approach.
Let the resume writing begin!
