causes and characteristics paper .docxStandard 1D
Standard 1D
Understands the impact of cognitive, emotional, physical, and sensory disabilities on learning and communication pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act.
This is a paper I wrote in SPED 216 about emotional/behavioral disorders in students. The paper explained what emotional/behavorial disorder is, specifically internalizing disorders, and outlined the causes and characteristics of the disorder. This artifact connects to standard 1D because it proves that I have learned about and understand the impact that cognitive, emotional, physical, and sensory disabilities have on learning and communication in students. Through writing this paper, I learned that students with the same disorder may present in a number of ways; no two students are exactly the same in the way they think, learn, or act. It is extremely important to write and execute lesson plans that accomodate all students.

Standard 1H
Analyzes and uses student information to design instruction that meets the diverse needs of students and leads to ongoing growth and achievement.
This is a power point that I made in SPED 216 about teaching strategies for students with internalizing emotional/behavioral disorders. Some of the strategies I highlighted in this presentation were social skills training and active student response. Active student response includes choral responding, response cards, peer reviews, guideded notes, etc. This artifact connects to standard 1H because based off of the research I did regarding internalizing emotional/behavioral disorders, I was able to generate ideas for teaching strategies that would be effective for this population of students. Through completing this presentation, I learned that special education for students with emotional/behavioral disorders must include effective instruction in the personal, social, and academic skills required for success in school, community, and vocational settings. I also learned that lessons in which students actively participate produce more learning and less misbehavior than do lessons in which students respond occasionally or passively attend.
