PARAEDUCATORS: QUALITY SUPERVISION AND TRAINING

By Nancy French

From one of the nation's leading authorities, Dr. Nancy French, University of Colorado at Denver, comes a comprehensive and powerful two-set DVD for the effective supervision and training of paraeducators. In today's school environments, teacher aides/assistants/monitors play a critical support role in the delivery of quality instruction, the implementation of accommodations/modifications for students with special needs, as well as in the supervision/monitoring of students during less structured times of the day.

In order to most effectively utilize paraeducators, schools need to provide an environment where teachers "coach" and paraeducators "learn" to better understand their roles and responsibilities. This DVD program addresses the supervision and support of paraeducators as they work in:

  • Inclusive/co-teaching classrooms
  • Response To Intervention (RTI) and data collection roles
  • Implementing instructional accommodations modifications
  • Student supervision and behavior monitoring

    This DVD set is cost-effective for the training of both teachers and paraeducators.

    RTI & DI - THE DYNAMIC DUO

    By Lynn Heintzman and Helene Hanson

    Response to Intervention (RTI) and Differentiated Instruction (DI) are two powerful approaches for addressing the needs of all learners. They share many common elements, perhaps the most significant of which is their student-centered focus and utilization of on-going assessments to inform decision-making and facilitate good instruction. RTI, as a multi-tiered framework, uses a problem-solving process to match the needs of students to research-based interventions. DI is a way to plan/deliver curriculum and instruction to meet the needs of diverse learners. It is through DI that RTI can be successfully implemented. Indeed, RTI and TI are truly the "dynamic duo!"

    This DVD will help you learn how to effectively differentiate instruction in TIER 1 (core curriculum instruction) and TIER 2 (targeted instruction) stages of RTI. A range of strategies are demonstrated, such as the use of flexible grouping, support staff, continuous progress monitoring and data collection.

    SUCCEEDING THROUGH AUTISM

    By Sean Barron

    In this compelling DVD, Sean Barron tells the story of how he went from being a child with low functioning autism to the successful man, journalist, and boyfriend he is today.

    When Sean was young, he felt very alone and isolated from the rest of the world. But as the years passed, he learned many social "unwritten rules" that have helped him to become more connected and in tune with society, resulting in renewed relationships with his family, a mutually rewarding relationship with his girlfriend, and a job that is intellectually stimulating. As Sean says in his recent book Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships, "I am the happiest I have ever been."

    Sean shares his unwritten rules and much more in this warm, candid presentation. As a special bonus, we even hear from Sean's girlfriend Barbara Protopapa, a young woman with autism, who shares some insight into her life and her relationship with Sean.

    7 EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES FOR SECONDARY INCLUSION

    By: Lisa Dieker, Ph.D.

    Inclusion of students with disabilities at all levels is a challenge, one that has been intensified by the mandates of NCLB and the reauthorized IDEA. More specifically, NCLB states that students with disabilities will be counted in calculation of annual yearly progress, and thus must be proficient in curriculum content; and IDEA '04 states that special education teachers must have certification in specific content areas in order to be highly qualified to provide self-contained instruction to students with disabilities.

    These two legislative actions have a tremendous impact on teachers, schools, families and, most importantly, secondary students with disabilities. Furthermore, they make it essential for secondary teachers to know what is working in effective, inclusive schools across the country.

    This exciting and practical video is specifically designed for those educators who are either developing or currently working to include students with mild to moderate disabilities in secondary classrooms.

    The viewer will:
  • Understand the key components of effective secondary inclusive instruction
  • Learn practical ideas to meet the needs of a range of learners
  • Observe interdisciplinary teams of teachers address issues such as instruction, curricular development and grading
  • Learn how secondary schools are meeting state and local standards by providing universally designed curriculum for all learners

    Understand how the learning environment impacts outcomes, including:
    1. How co-teaching can be used to meet the educational needs of a wide range of learners
    2. How administrators, teachers, families and students work together in inclusive schools to produce effective outcomes

    KIDS' MEALS: GFCF COOKING INSTRUCTION

    Starring Jean Duane

    Cooking for children on a gluten-free casein-free (GFCF) diet can be challenging, especially when kids want the popular kinds of foods that their friends eat, or foods they see and hear about on TV. This instructional cooking DVD starring Jean Duane shows you how to make GFCF foods that kids will recognize and want to eat. They can enjoy macaroni and "cheese," pizza, and homemade bread sandwiches with a variety of fillings, served with cream of tomato soup. Tacos are a kid-pleaser, too, and these feature marinated fish, coleslaw, avocado spread, and chopped tomato salsa. The Shepard's Pie is filled with vegetables and a creamy sauce and served with warm, sweet apple crisp. To top it off, Jean makes Carol Fenster's vegan chocolate cupcakes and vanilla "ice cream" made with cashews. These meals are sure to make your kids jump for joy. Remember, there is always an alternative!

    Review
  • "The thing I like about the DVDs by the Alternative Cook is that they are so beautifully and visually appealing to watch. It is like having a gluten-free, dairy-free, low-cholesterol cook in the kitchen right with you. ... You can see what the food looks like, you can see it being processed and put together, and what the final product looks like, and even wonderful ideas about how to display the food on your plate. We all eat with our eyes, so when we see beautiful food, we are even more enticed to want to eat it. ... For example, in Kids' Meals, we actually make ice cream from cashews, and while you might not have thought of cashews as an ingredient for ice cream, it makes a wonderful, creamy texture, very much like cream. It is this innovation and creativity that I think these DVDs bring to people who only thought in terms of the realm of wheat, eggs, milk, and sugar, the typical things that we Americans cook with, which many of us cannot have anymore for various reasons. These DVDs show us how to work with many other healthy ingredients that work just as well, taste just as good, and look just as gorgeous." - Carol Fenster, Ph.D.
