Garrett Hawkins
Level II Special
Education Teacher
Goal #1:
Help students on his roster become more independent.
Garrett is
using the Gradual Release and Responsibility framework to structure his
classes. He believes that students will
be able to perform tasks independently with the new structure he has
introduced. The framework is as follows:
I do – This means the teacher will present the material or model
how to complete a task.
We do—The teacher and the
student will work together to complete a task.
We
do together – The student attempts the task independently with the teachers
support.
You do—The student is able to
complete the task independently.
Goal #2:
Increase efficiency/structure within in the classroom to help students become
more proficient.
Garrett is co-teaching Level II Special Education students
in PR (Practical) Reading with Dale Erikson.
They are working to separate students into small groups by skill level
and creating a new final project to assess students at their particular skill
level.
Garrett and Dale are using Literary Circles as an avenue to
assess students on reading skills.
Currently, they are all reading the small book and working as a large
group on the components of a lit circle: Summarizing, Discussion Questions, Vocabulary,
Visualization, Connecting to text.
In December, students will be presenting a final project in
the form of WeVideo. More updates will
be coming as this project continues.
