RECIPROCAL TEACHING AT WORK

With Lori Oczkus

Called "the power reading vitamin", Reciprocal Teaching is a proven high yield, low prep scaffolded discussion technique that when used twice a week will give students two year's growth in just one year.

In this video based on her best selling book, Reciprocal Teaching At Work, literary consultant Lori Oczkus visits three schools to demonstrate multiple tehniques in whole class and small group settings while working closely with teachers across several grade levels.

Student engagement is key in Reciprochal Teaching, and we'll see how students use the four strategies of Reciprocal Teaching - Predict, Question, Clarify and Summarize - with non-fiction, fiction and poetry.

Roundtables with teachers as well as one on one discussions with Lori will provide an in depth look at Reciprocal Teaching and how teachers at all grade levels have found unique ways to take this strategy and make it "their own."

    RELEASING THE POWER! DISTRICT AND SCHOOL-BASED LEADERS ON INCLUSIVE SCHOOLING AND CO-TEACHING

    Hosted by Dr. Marilyn Friend

    Leaders at the Charlotte-Mecklenberg School District decided that to meet achievement and accountability standards mandated in federal education law, they had to do something very different. If students with IEPs continued to be educated largely in special classes and resource rooms, those students would have a difficult path to success. Releasing the Power illustrates how the Charlotte-Mecklenberg School District researched, created, and implemented a district-wide co-teaching initiative. Today CMS is an exemplary model of what can happen when a district releases the power of two.

    First on this DVD, CMS Superintendent and his top deputy for Special Education discuss the district's inclusive practices and co-teaching journey from conception through implementation. Then you'll hear CMS principals discuss, in practical detail, the expectations, challenges, and supports necessary to ensure all students are learning in co-taught classrooms.

    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.

    LOU BROWN UNPLUGGED: STORIES OF A LIFETIME OF TEACHING AND ADVOCATING FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AND THEIR FAMILIES

    Lou Brown tells stories that communicate important lessons accrued from over forty years of working on behalf of individuals with disabilities in classrooms, workplaces and courtrooms. The stories will make you laugh, cry and angry. Lou argues for the combination of integrated schooling, authentic assessment and instruction, and other rational instructional practices and individually meaningful experiences in real work settings.

    A Lifetime of Stories on Three Discs

    Disc One stories focus upon the struggles, absurdities, barriers and joys associated with attempting to arrange for students with disabilities to function in the same schools and classes in which they would function if not disabled with individually appropriate and professionally responsible supplementary aids and services. Disc 1: 82 mins.

    Disc Two stories focus upon practices in which professionals engage that have important affects on the basic life qualities allowed students with disabilities. His thesis is that far too many of the instructional practices utilized are demeaning, counterproductive, inhibitory and/or otherwise harmful. A description of all of the stories told on the discs can be found in a print-friendly PDF file on disc two. Disc 2: 63 mins.

    Disc Three stories focus upon options professionals can exercise that would prepare students with disabilities to function in the real world of work at the point of exit from school. Currently, the post school vocational outcomes of students with disabilities are blatantly unacceptable. If better outcomes are to be realized, better service delivery models, instructional practices and curricula must be generated. Disc 3: 151 mins.

    The DVDs were recorded in front of a live studio audience of parents, teachers, school administrators and job coaches. Read printed versions of Lou's stories under video support.
