Reflection
How might this strategy be helpful to a student with a mild disability? How might this strategy allow a student with a mild disability to more successfully access and understand the chapter content?
This organizer helps with putting main ideas in specific areas. Students with mild disabilities also have a hard time organizing and remembering information. This organizer organizes and helps with information recall. There also is a section in the organizer where students come up with guiding questions, and these questions promote metacognition. Meaning that the student has to think about what relevant questions to ask, and a question that most accurately expresses what is imperative in the chapter. Students who dont plan how they learn or dont have specific learning strategies, now have an organizer that allows they them to plan and organize their thoughts and information.
Students with mild disabilities have a hard time understanding and filtering important information.
