You will create a narrated digital presentation that includes visuals and audio to discuss further the case study you created in Assignment 2, now with a specific focus on instructional strategies and collaboration. Your intended audience comprises school/centre teaching staff in a professional learning environment. For example, you are in the room/classroom/homeroom teacher of the student, sharing information in a staff meeting with other teachers. You will be sharing information that: A. Demonstrates your knowledge of the needs of the student about learning, as well as B. Provides insight for your audience about broader strategies and procedures in place to help ensure that the student with a disability (i.e. your selected case study student) can access and participate in education on the same basis as other students.
The Narrated Presentation: Your Narrated Presentation should include the following sections. 1 Assessment Brief
A. A very brief introduction to the student and relevant information about their disability regarding their learning needs. Assume the teachers in your audience know the student – but not as well as you do. o Duration suggestion – less than one minute
B. An explanation of your holistic approach (think Universal Design) to effectively manage the classroom/program so that the student can participate on the same basis as others. You might mention approaches you implement to support engagement, participation, and inclusion, as well as how you organise classroom activities, resources, and the physical environment. o Duration suggestion – around 2 minutes
C. A more specific focus on strategies you implement to help ensure that the student can access and participate in classroom learning activities on the same basis as other students. Be very specific – describe strategies you implement in a particular session/lesson/topic i. Such strategies or approaches might include instructional approaches, behaviour support, teacher communication strategies, formative assessment, and use of digital technologies, etc. ii. iii. Consider the learning context, environment, and resources. Prioritise some of the most important or relevant strategies for your student. Don’t generalise – give precise examples, a ‘glimpse’ of what you do in the classroom D.uration suggestion – around 2 minutes

D. A summary table that succinctly records the reasonable adjustments you provide for the student. Refer to the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD) document ‘Selecting the level of adjustment’, and include information for your case study relevant to o Level of adjustment descriptors (for your student) o Typical adjustments (for your student) o Duration suggestion – less than one minute (it is a summary of point B in the ‘language’ of the NCCD)
E. A discussion of the collaboration and consultation you undertake to help ensure that the student (i.e. your selected case study student) can access and participate in education on the same basis as other students. Why do you consult and collaborate, and who do you consult and collaborate with? I suggest using diagrams to show this clearly and succinctly. o Duration suggestion – around 2 minutes
F. References list (not included in the time allocation) – one slide
