Workshops #3 & 4
Coming from my experiences of working in the junior and intermediate divisions, and now within the realm of special education, the thoughts of what one can do to best aid students struggling with the concepts of literacy is three fold.
I feel that for those students who are experiencing difficulty grasping the various concepts associated with literacy, a multifaceted approach needs to be acted upon in order to fend off or possibly avoid any pitfalls associated with not being literate.
The three steps that need to be taken in order to stave off this problem are Early intervention, Remedial action, and finally Support and Resource teams.
*Early intervention: All professions within education must be trained to evaluate and identify the problems of learning literacy early. With such an advantage, the students could be given aid without isolating them from their classmates.
*Remedial action: Whether additional support is needed or required within the classroom, I think that all students need exposure to some form of remedial literacy education in a concentrated and consistent manner. Aggressive intervention will of course be offered to those students who need it and will help ensure that any issues regarding learning literacy be resolved prior to becoming more of an issue.
*Support teams: In some cases, there are support teams that consist of the student, parents/guardians, and educational professionals that can be put into action in order to develop goals and intervention strategies within a transparent and collaborative manner to aid students with experiencing difficulty.
These are just a few of my thoughts. I look forward to any comments.
