Teaching and Learning
The purpose of this page is to share lots of resources that may help us in our goal to provide interactive, engaging instruction in our classrooms.
Periodically, I will add videos, photos, or other media of interest to our field of education in our current education climate.

Differentiation Overview Powerpoint Presentation
Understanding ADA 504 Law and the Students at Awbrey Park
Do you work with students who appear to have special needs? Have you checked with the 504 coordinator to see if that student has a condition covered under the ADA Federal Law Section 504? The powerpoint below should answer most of your questions. If you are an EA, Specialist, or Classroom teacher, this presentation will act as a good primer on what is required by law and might answer some questions about what you need to do to accomodate a child in the classroom. If you still have questions you can always contact Joel about any specific questions you have.
