    RELEASING THE POWER! DISTRICT AND SCHOOL-BASED LEADERS ON INCLUSIVE SCHOOLING AND CO-TEACHING

    Hosted by Dr. Marilyn Friend

    Releasing the Power is the next training video in the Forum's Co-Teaching Video Series. Leaders at the Charlotte-Mecklenberg School District decided that to meet achievement and accountability standards mandated in federal education law, they had to do something very different. If students with IEPs continued to be educated largely in special classes and resource rooms, those students would have a difficult path to success. Releasing the Power illustrates how the Charlotte-Mecklenberg School District researched, created, and implemented a district-wide co-teaching initiative. Today CMS is an exemplary model of what can happen when a district releases the power of two.

    First on this DVD, CMS Superintendent and his top deputy for Special Education discuss the district's inclusive Facilitator's Guide PDF /practices and co-teaching journey from conception through implementation. Then you'll hear CMS principals discuss, in practical detail, the expectations, challenges, and supports necessary to ensure all students are learning in co-taught classrooms. DVD includes a digital viewing guide and a rubric for judging the fidelity of your implementation using a framework developed by Professor Friend.

    APPLIED DIFFERENTIATION - MAKING IT WORK IN THE CLASSROOM (ELEMENTARY)

    Featuring Gayle Gregory, Cindy Strickland, and other experts

    How successful are your teachers in implementing differentiation practices in their classrooms? You will be excited to learn that School Improvement Network and The Video Journal of Education just released the most comprehensive tool available to help teachers understand and use differentiation with their students.

    Applied Differentiation: Making It Work in the Classroom features Gayle Gregory, Cindy Strickland, Lin Kuzmich, and exemplary teachers and administrators.

    These powerful programs can provide hours of group training for teachers and administrators on a school or district level as well as job-embedded professional learning. Teachers can see how successful teachers design lesson plans and deliver them in their differentiated classrooms---and specific templates and frameworks are included that will help teachers identify learning styles and differentiate lessons using the newly released Applied Differentiation Map..

    Program 1: Knowing the Learner
  • Understand the What and Why of Differentiation
  • Differentiation creates motivation in all learners, especially those who have not been excited about school.
  • Educators intentionally use data to recognize student needs and interests that provide links to successful learning.
  • Identify Student Readiness
  • Connect to students with where they are. The constant pull to greater knowledge or skills will engage students not otherwise ready for the learning.
  • Crystallize Student Interest
  • As teachers tie what students like into topics, interest will increase and learning will result.
  • Create a Learning Profile for Each Student
  • Use the Learning Profile Matrix to help understand how students learn best through their learning styles, intelligence inclinations, culture, race, and gender.

    Program 2: How to Differentiate
  • Educators Understand Themselves as Learners
  • Begin small by starting with familiar topics.
  • Apply learning styles, techniques, and strategies teachers know.
  • Manage Differentiation
  • Sustain a positive safe climate.
  • Establish and practice routines.
  • Provide anchor activities to engage students without direction.
  • Plan with the Applied Differentiation Map, a dynamic tool for lesson planning
  • The map will help teachers understand: WHERE to begin. WHAT is differentiated and WHAT are student needs. HOW students will learn and HOW learning is to be demonstrated.

    Program 3: Leadership and Implementation
  • This program is designed to help educational leaders start the process of differentiation within their schools.
  • Create a Climate for Differentiation
  • Teachers, like students, have differing needs and styles.
  • Provide Training and Leadership
  • The principal must take responsibility to initiate improved instruction. Allow teachers to observe other teachers, to coach or be coached, and to participate in learning communities.
  • Offer Ongoing Support
  • Help teachers feel empowered, accountable and professional.
  • Examine Structures That Work
  • Training and sustaining structures need not be rigid, but must be sensible and consistent.

    POWER OF 2

    Hosted by Dr. Marilyn Friend

    Over the past several years much has changed in schools: Federal education laws have raised student academic standards; professional accountability for student outcomes is a requirement--everyone counts; and access to the curriculum is the expectation for all students--it is no longer an option. As these changes have occurred, co-teaching has increased in importance. Its practice is now broader, but not necessarily deeper, and many questions concerning creating and sustaining co-teaching as a service delivery option still come up.

    The Power of Two (Revised Edition) provides a comprehensive look at co-teaching as part of the foundation of an inclusive and collaborative school, and it is designed to assist professionals to maximize student outcomes through classroom partnerships. The core concepts are included here--for example, clear and detailed demonstrations of six co-teaching arrangements that make up the heart of this service delivery model. In addition, lessons learned from those who have considerable experience with co-teaching and the shift in the context in which school programs now operate are emphasized, as are the suggestions made by professionals in the field who work with co-teaching on a daily basis.

    These changes in the Power of Two are still intended to assist educatorsˇXfirst-year teachers and those with extensive experienceˇXto collaborate and share their knowledge and skills in order to help their students maximize their potential.

    LEADING A DISTRICT TO SCALE: ACCESS TO THE GENERAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM FOR EVERY STUDENT

    Hosted by Dr. Marilyn Friend

    The Problem of Scale
    The problem of scale is what Elmore describes as "innovations that require large scale changes in the core of educational practice." He argues it seldom occurs and it seldom lasts very long. The Schaumburg Elementary District 54 is a district that has almost all of its 27 elementary schools to scale practicing an inclusive philosophy. It is a diverse school system of 16,000 students with 30% minority enrollment and a special enrollment of approximately 2000 students. Students speak forty-two different languages. Dr. Marilyn Friend invited Dr. Leonard Burrello, to accompany her to the district. He found that Schaumburg #54 was probably one of the very best at getting to scale, and only one of two districts that he has ever visited that is making a difference across every school in its entire system.

    On this DVD, Schaumburg #54 representatives discuss their direction and planning philosophy at the district and school level. Schaumburg #54 will inspire you, and help you reach your own goals.

    The elements of the Schaumburg story are depicted in the following segments: 1. The Planning Philosophy - start small and honor all commitments
    2 . Shared Vocabulary - creating a communal lexicon
    3. Ongoing Professional Development - starting with the special education community of teachers and related service staff
    4. Sustaining the Momentum - provide the same resource basis for change in each school
    5. Growing Collaboration - instructional practices that provide access to the curriculum for all students. Voice recognition technology helps Jason write. (His mom likes it too.)
    6. Parent and Community Partnerships - that invite and set realistic expectations for participation
    7. Defining Success - from test scores to a sense of belonging, Schaumburg #54 is making inclusion a priority across its district

    ADAPTING CURRICULUM & INSTRUCTION IN INCLUSIVE CLASSROOMS

    Classrooms have always had students who learn at different rates, who have prior knowledge about the curriculum, who have varying abilities and bring different backgrounds and baggage into classroom. When students with disabilities are included, the range of those differences widens. In order to reach every student, teachers may need to make choices that they haven't confronted before.

    This DVD and accompanying manual provides a conceptual model for adapting curriculum across the learning spectrum. The framework challenges teachers' existing repertoire and arms them with additional approaches to enhance student learning. The framework is divided into the four steps teachers take when planning units of study:

    1. The Process of Teaching
    2. Practices, Decision Making, and Planning
    3. Fine Tune for Individual Learners
    4. Refine, Reflect, Assess and Evaluate


    Each step has examples of at least three adaptations.

    Teachers from elementary and secondary programs describe the adaptations that have proven successful. These adaptations recognize the need for student variation in learning and instruction.

    You'll see sample adaptations across seven areas:
  • Participation
  • Difficulty
  • Output
  • Input
  • Level of Support
  • Size of Task
  • Time

    PROJECT SUPPORT

    By: M. Diane Klein Anne Marie Richardson-Gibbs Sharon Kilpatrick and Kathleen C. Harris

    The Project Support training model and materials are designed for early childhood inclusion support specialists and developed to achieve successful inclusion experiences for young children particularly those whose special needs are complex and challenging.

    The DVD includes three modules:

    Coteaching (12 min): This video provides a brief overview of coteaching as one model of inclusion support. This co-teaching arrangement includes an early childhood special educator and an early childhood educator who share responsibility for a group of young children including both typical children and children with special needs.

    Itinerant Consultation (11 min.): The purpose of this video is to provide a brief overview of itinerant consultation as one model of inclusion support. The video also briefly addresses some of the challenges associated with use of a one-to-one assistant. This video presents an itinerant model that combines both the "expert" and "collaborative" models of consultation. In this case the early childhood special education inclusion support specialist visits the center on a regular basis. She adjusts her frequency and time of visitation as needed typically visiting once per week or every other week. Often the itinerant teacher has responsibility for providing support for only one or two children in each center she visits.

    Problem Solving and Conflict Resolution (24 min.): This video presents an introduction to the area of conflict resolution and problem solving as it relates to early childhood inclusion support. It presents the real case of a child Philip who has autism. He has little communication ability and frequently engages in severely disruptive behavior. He has been enrolled in a neighborhood childcare center where the staff initially accepted him willingly. However the team has now reached a crisis as Philip's behavioral outbursts have escalated. The video presents the different perspectives of each team member discusses several factors in conflict resolution and presents an adaptation of a commonly used problem solving technique.
