Physical disability, multiple disabilities, supporting disabled students in the classroom. For students with physical handicaps, self-image is extremely important. Teachers need to ensure that the child's self image is positive. Physically handicapped students are aware of the fact that they are physically different that most others and that there are certain things they cannot do. Peers can be cruel to other children with physical handicaps and become involved in teasing, casting insulting remarks and excluding physically handicapped children from games and group type activities. Physically handicapped children want to succeed and participate as much as they can and this needs to be encouraged and fostered by the teacher. The focus needs to be on what the child CAN do - not can't do. Strategies that help: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. I hope these insights will help you to maximize the learning opportunities for the physically handicapped child. See also accommodating students with physical handicaps in physical education.

The MIT brand is the best-known and strongest of the many identities across the MIT community. And the MIT logo—the short-hand representation of that brand—is the most recognized graphic identifier. By using the MIT logo in your department’s or organization’s identities and communications, you send a message: you connect with the power and promise of the Institute. Use of the MIT logo instantly tells the world that you are part of the MIT community—and you share in the positive reputation that’s been built over many decades. As the primary graphic symbol for the Institute, the MIT logo must appear on all communications, including websites, print publications, stationery, and signage. Pair the logo with the full name. While our logo has gained much currency since it was adopted in 2003, some people may not instantly connect our mark to our name—and some may not know what “MIT” means. Treat the logo as a logo. Make the logo visible.

Put the Big Rocks In First! </i></b>*} This is an old story and you may have heard it before. A speaker pulled out a wide mouth gallon jar, and placed it next to a pile of fist-sized rocks. The group replied, “Yes.” He then got some gravel from under the table and added it to the jar. This time the group replied, “Probably not.” The speaker then added some sand and asked,“Is the jar full?” “No!” Finally, the speaker filled the jar with water and asked the group the point of the illustration. Someone replied that you could always fit more things in your life if “you really work at it.” “No,” countered the speaker. Hopefully you are embarking on the journey of developing healthier habits this year. Say “Yes” to your big rocks first. Thank you for taking this journey with us. The Delaware County Intermediate Unit (DCIU) is a regional education services agency.
4Teachers : Main Page What Is Curriculum-Based Measurement And What Does It Mean to My Child? by Kathleen McLane Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) is a method teachers use to find out how students are progressing in basic academic areas such as math, reading, writing, and spelling. CBM can be helpful to parents because it provides current, week-by-week information on the progress their children are making. When your child’s teacher uses CBM, he or she finds out how well your child is progressing in learning the content for the academic year. How Does CBM Work? When CBM is used, each child is tested briefly each week. After the scores are entered on the graphs, the teacher decides whether to continue instruction in the same way, or to change it. The teacher can change instruction in any of several ways. Other Ways CBM Can Help You CBM can also help you work more effectively with the school system on your child’s behalf.
