Project 1 Information

Expanded Core Curriculum

For Project 1, I choose to focus on a student in 3rd grade.  I am choosing her because I desperately need an example to work from, where I am familiar with the student and can directly see her needs.  I am looking for this example because there is another student in a very similar situation.  This upcoming student has a comparable background and is in the same school.  I would like to encourage these two to work together and to develop a friendship that could help them through troubleshooting and personal struggles.

Here is an informational document regarding the planning of this task.
Project 1: Expanded Core Curriculum for DHH


What follows is a compilation of the information for the 3rd grader.  It was her 3-year IEP this past December, so the information is still pretty fresh in my mind.  I chose to do testing on her, several observations, and decided to add in some specific Learner Responsibility Goals to her IEP based on my findings.  I will include the following:

-Observation Report
-Test Results Report
-Most Recent Audiogram
-Pertinent IEP information
-General Notes Page
-Other Information as needed

CL INITIAL OBSERVATIONS
OBSERVATIONAL RECORD OF BEHAVIOR OF D/HH STUDENTS
CL FIRST TEACHER LETTER FOR ACCOMMODATIONS
CL SOCIAL INTERACTION MID-YEAR
CL AUDIOGRAM 2019
PERTINENT IEP INFORMATION
CL TESTING RESULTS REPORT FOR IEP
MN COMPENSATORY CHECKLIST NOTES

Though a video is not required because we will be doing a Face to Face meeting/ observation, I decided to add in additional information on this student that may be helpful.

Journal Post #5 (3rd Video Observation)

BACKGROUND: My previous focus student, CLD, has taken a time of absence for the cochlear surgery on her other ear.  She is not scheduled to return until the first week of December.  I have chosen a different student, EK. EK just turned six.  She is in Kindergarden at Cooper Elementary.  EK has a severe to profound (mostly profound) bilateral hearing loss.  She wears behind the ear hearing aids, but they are currently set at the highest adjustment.  Over the past year and a half, EK's hearing has dropped significantly and her aids have needed adjusting nearly every six months.  At this time, her hearing and speech are the primary concerns.  However, there has been some discussion about her fine motor skills, the speed and excitability at which she functions, and her ability to focus.  She is spunky and has a lot of energy:).  She always makes me smile and is so much fun to work with each day.  EK uses a sign language interpreter ...

Journal Post #4

BACKGROUND/ OVERVIEW After traveling to so many different schools and working with a lot of younger children, I have decided to tackle a few needs of my own.  This first need you will see in the video organization.  I have purchased a few items that I am hoping will help, but this is definitely a work in progress.  I wanted something that was collapsible and portable to serve as a schedule for sessions with students.  I have been really trying to incorporate the Foundations of Literacy intervention with several of my students.  It is new for me, so there is an element of becoming familiar with the materials and process.  However, I really like the design of this program and think it is a good fit.... now I just need practice.  In addition, I like the way FOL is set up and think that the organizational concepts will work with many of my older students as well, even if they are above the materials.  In this video, you will see the picture schedule...

Journal Post #3:  Video Observation  NOTE: This is my first ever video post and the technology has not been cooperative.  I have trying different things for three weeks now, so hopefully this will finally work. Student Background Information: CLD is a student in 4K located at the Early Learning Center (ELC).  She came with her family from Burma near the end of last year.  In the home, her mother speaks only a tribal language from her home country and her father speaks Burmese (along with being able to communicate with mom).  CLD's intelligence levels were tested off the charts, so she is quite bright, however, she was completely nonverbal.  She qualified for Early Childhood due to her lack of speech.  Dad had also suspected a hearing loss for some time.  They were able to get her hearing tested and found that she had a bilateral profound hearing loss.  I was informed, but could not formally work with her until we received her au...
