Extractions: Return to List of Readings CHAPTER 16 SUCCESS FOR ALL TEACHING STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS The Human Need for Success I remember going to my box in late September of my first year of teaching. Mixed in with the administrative notices and catalogs was a note from a special ed student in my Basic English class. It was neatly folded into a two-inch square. I will never forget it: "Mr. Birk, I think I’m dum. Can you help me with that?" It was signed, "Your student, Jon." It was a huge admission that reminded me of how I felt when I landed in Tunisia to serve in the Peace Corps with my shiny new college degree and no Arabic. I knew things, knew I was smart (in my own language), knew I could do things (if they were the things I knew how to do). But the culture of the situation made everything feel wrong to me. I remember how angry I felt with all my ideas and feelings bottled up inside me. We have a lot of kids in our schools today especially boys, that feel this way They feel this way for very different reasons. Some of the students in our classes came from other countries as recently as yesterday They are like I was when I first arrived in Tunisia. And because I had great teachers—I actually had to live with them, surrounded by Arabic twenty-four hours a day!—I learned to think and move between the worlds of Arabic and English so well that I began to take French lessons (from a wonderful woman who began each lesson by making us espresso which we drank in the little cottage out back of her house—ahh, but that’s a different story!). Other students in our mainstream English classes have been here long enough to be in transitional classes" that are designed to support these English language learners in the "regular" English classes. Still other students may have been born here, but at home they speak other languages and so have what some call "second language interference" errors in their English or speak what others would call nonstandard English.
Promising Practices Exchange both together in the context of meaningful esl lessons. The Kaizen program s instructors are esl professionals familiar and with the special needs of visually http://www.literacyvolunteers.org/ppe/instructional/esl_blind.html
Extractions: Assessment of Students The Kaizen Program doesn't use the ESLOA test for assessing blind and low vision students, since many of its questions are centered on picture identification. However, it does use actual objects, including things that range in size from furniture to coins, instead of pictures. People who are totally blind, whether they have been blind from birth or have lost sight in later life, can usually identify familiar objects by touch. And people with low vision can often see enough to identify familiar objects visually (with or without touch), even if they can't see enough to identify pictures. Kaizen is a small nonprofit with only two staff members, so, in order to increase the number of students served, it is currently partnering with the St. James ESL Program and training blind and visually-impaired volunteer tutors to work with blind and low vision ESL students. In order to make the intake assessment for blind and low vision students roughly equivalent to that for fully sighted St. James ESL students it adapted the intake test, including replacing pictures with objects. For example, if a picture shows a clock face, a tactile clock is used that has feelable and movable hands, and both tactile print numbers and Braille numbers. Also used are such common objects as spoons, napkins, jackets, etc. Questions that involve visuals such as maps, phone book listings, and traffic signs can be replaced with roughly equivalent questions involving things that people with visual limitations will be utilizing.

Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Languages and Linguistics Washington DC. ESL in Special Education. ERIC Digest. The presence of limited-English-proficient (LEP) students in special education settings has raised a number of questions about the special needs of these students and about effective ways to meet these needs. Just as special education students require specialized instructional programming to account for identified disabilities, mainstream LEP students require tailored educational services that account for their second language status. It is, therefore, reasonable to posit that exceptional LEP students require highly specialized programs formulated on a well-articulated, integrated knowledge base from special education and bilingual/ESL education. SPECIFIC NEEDS OF SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS Special Education is instruction designed for students who require some degree of modification in their educational programs because of intellectual, emotional, sensory, or physical impairments (Glass, Christiansen and Christiansen, 1982). Modifications may include special curricular materials, specialized teaching strategies or behavior management techniques, and specially-designed equipment or facilities. Students with mild disabilities can succeed with modifications in mainstream classrooms. Other students whose disabilities range from moderate to severe in nature require placement in special settings. All special students, regardless of the type or degree of disability, share certain rights and needs, including:
Extractions: US $28.00 Have you ever gotten a frantic call from a content or special education teacher wanting to know, quickly please, how to teach ESL? Or have you returned the favor by asking special education colleagues for help when confronted with an ESL student having learning difficulties? In fact, this scenario is increasingly common as the population in our classrooms diversifies to include native speakers, English as a Second Language (ESL) students, and special needs students. At the same time, according to Nancy Cloud (1990), "there is a paucity of TESOL programs which provide crossover training in special education, or Special Education programs that encourage specialization in TESOL" (p. 127). For these reasons, finding Sheltered Content Instruction: Teaching English-Language Learners with Diverse Abilities was a welcome discovery. At last, a single text that addresses teaching students who are both English language learners and need special education adaptations! Though billed as a text to prepare teachers to "deliver content area instruction to English-language learners with diverse abilities using a sheltered instruction approach" (p. xi), sheltered instruction is the primary subject of only one complete chapter. The text actually presents a concise overview of the theory and practice of teaching second language learners while also providing rationale and strategies for teaching students with special needs. In so doing, it answers many of the basic questions that teachers ask about ESL and special education.

Extractions: I used your leveled books last year and saw tremendous growth, even with severely at-risk students. I have recommended your site to countless teachers. I firmly believe in your philosophy regarding your high-frequency word books, and I feel that reading teachers would benefit from them with their students. My fourth graders were reading at second-grade level. They refused to read independently or read tests on their own. Now they are reading the tests to me instead of vice versa. My fifth graders were reading at a third-grade level. They are now reading at the fifth-grade level, and their spelling and ability to define words have dramatically improved. Thank you so much, and congratulations on a great line of products. Keep them coming. I teach in the lowest income school in Dallas, Texas, with a 100 percent at-risk population of students. These kids need reading to escape their environmental challenges and to have a future. Most of my students arrive in my classroom with a pre-K knowledge of reading, despite being anywhere from 10 to 19 years old. You can only imagine how damaged their self esteem is. They really have taken a delight your products, and having a printable book that they can love, keep, and return to time and again is a real treasure. I have seen some amazing strides. Many other teachers in my school, my district and my other "teacher friends" are already hooked on your products because they are so helpful. If you ever sit and wonder if you're making a difference, think of us and know that you are.

Communism was over and the people were embarking along the road to democracy. There were hundreds of students eager to learn the English Language, but suitable textbooks were non-existent. Upon returning to our home in Victoria, Canada, we have adapted the adult series to meet the cultural needs of students in Brazil, El Salvador, and Ukraine. The childrens series is being re-written to meet the needs of the Chinese culture where the children begin school at a very young age. All these adaptations have been achieved through communication with, and often travel to the country of the culture involved. Learning English With Laughter is a conversational approach to English. It stresses communication in a variety of everyday situations. Reading and writing are included in each lesson, but listening and speaking are given the greatest emphasis. In the adult series, suitable for students of 13 years and older, basic grammar is introduced sequentially, then practiced in a variety of oral activities and written exercises.
