The students looked at books from their partner school in Poland and found the interpretations interesting. They discussed creating an exhibition of materials from the books and telling other classes about them. They concluded that making a book from these materials would be unique and interesting. They also proposed having each country create an adventure story for one of the book characters to virtually visit their school and city in a shared book.Great Beginnings

This document provides guidance and examples for how to successfully engage in shared writing. It outlines both the advantages and disadvantages of shared writing. The advantages include benefiting from others' ideas, developing upon those ideas, seeing how others think, and helping each other. The disadvantages include others' unclear ideas and loss of coordination or interest. The document then provides examples of story openings and analyzes one as the most effective because it establishes a specific time and includes descriptive details that engage the reader. Finally, it presents additional story opening examples and identifies the type of opening each uses - character description, setting description, action, or dialogue.Mz koral

This document discusses learning difficulties, their causes, and achieving positive outcomes for diverse students. It covers several key points:
1. Learning difficulties can stem from deficits within students themselves or from inappropriate teaching practices and school structures. An ecological approach that considers all factors is most inclusive and successful.
2. Diversity encompasses many attributes beyond just ethnicity, including ability, religion, gender, and language. It rejects the notion of a "normal" group and others.
3. Educational disparities exist for Mori students in areas like achievement and suspensions. Reasons include deficit views of Mori students and low teacher expectations. Shifting mindsets from problems to potential can help realize student success.Culturally responsive teaching for pasifika students

This document discusses culturally responsive teaching strategies for Pasifika (Pacific Islander) students in New Zealand. It notes that Pasifika students often face educational disparities. Effective teaching acknowledges students' cultural identities and values, rather than assigning them identities. Teachers should develop multidimensional classrooms that value multiple abilities and learning styles. They should also establish inclusive norms, assign competence to students of all backgrounds, and ensure all students feel responsible for each other's learning. The goal is for classrooms to affirm Pasifika students' cultural values and position all students as competent contributors.2014 07-01 octava reuni坦n md t redd+ am033 vfonureddecuador

Professional identity involves becoming a particular type of professional through learning, practicing, belonging to professional communities, and developing a digital identity. An individual's professional identity is shaped by their formal qualifications and ongoing professional development as well as experiences like collaborations, research, engaging with communities of practice, and using evidence-based practices. Professional portfolios can be used to document an individual's professional identity by collecting information on their knowledge, values, skills, influences, learning experiences, goals, and participation in professional networks.Www.conasa.gob.ec codigo publicaciones_hcu_historia_clinicaWilson Macias Cede単o

The document discusses individual assessment and intervention for students exhibiting difficult behaviors in the classroom. It covers conducting functional behavior analyses to understand the functions and contexts of problematic behaviors. This involves observation, data collection, and using the insights gained to design interventions tailored to the student, teacher, and environment. The goal is to maintain positive behavior changes over time through strategic planning and contingencies. If initial interventions are not successful, the document provides guidance on problem-solving and reviewing earlier decisions to improve outcomes.Writing

- 1. On the fifth day, which was a Sunday, it rained very hard. I like it when it rains hard. It sounds like white noise everywhere, which is like silence but not empty. People with Asperger's want contact with other people very much; we're just pathetically clueless at it, that's all. Rushing toward her are all the letters of the alphabet. Each one moves in its own way, X cartwheeling over and over, C hopping forward, M and N marching stiff-legged and resolute.
- 2. What puzzled me was why I seemed to be so troubled by all these irregularities and exceptions to major rules while others blithely marched ahead. I think you're the only person who gets me. When I'm with you, the world doesn't feel like a problem I can't figure out. Please come to the dance, because you're my music. Hi. I'm James Leeds. My signing is rusty so how many of you can read lips?
- 3. Yeah; well, I think that's a super philosophy, Sean. I mean, that way you could actually go through the rest of your life without ever really knowing anybody. C-H-A-R-L-I-E. C-H-A-R-L-I-E. Main man. I can remember the frustration of not being able to talk. I knew what I wanted to say, but I could not get the words out, so I would just scream. If you work with me, I'll help you say f*** off more clearly.
- 4. Stupid is as stupid does. Some folks has a lot of things around them that shines for other peoples. I think that maybe some of them was in tunnels. And in that tunnel, the only light they had, was inside of them. And then long after they escape that tunnel, they still be shining for everybody else. You know, like nunchuku skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills... Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills. Everyone is born, but not everyone is born the same. Some will grow to be butchers, or bakers, or candlestick makers. Some will only be really good at making Jell-O salad. One way or another, though, every human being is unique, for better or for worse.
- 6. bookcrossing (bkkr s肘) (also BC, BCing or BXing) n the practice of deliberately leaving books in places where they will be found and read by other people
- 7. The use of childrens literature is a way to share powerful examples of how we all may or may not relate to individual differences If teachers are to effectively use childrens literature on disabilities to teach empathy, acceptance, and understanding of diversity, then it stands to reason that there should be instructional activities that are part of their professional teacher preparation program (Kurtts&Gavigan, 2008, p. 23).
- 8. 1. Register the BCID number on the website www.bookcrossing.com 2. Provide your thoughts and ideas about the book or DVD on our blog by commenting in the forum OR by emailing specialisteaching@gmail.com 3. Pass the book or DVD onto either a fellow specialist teaching student (at a whanau meeting or the nextcontact course or any other way you like!) OR pass it on to a centre, school or other environment in which you work.
