Since 1999, Cal Coast Academy has been dedicated to helping students struggling from mild learning, social, and cognitive disabilities such as Asperger syndrome, dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression. However, we do not limit our student population to just those with challenges, we also welcome International students from third world countries, military-connected children, students who have been negatively impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and social media influences, and students who have not succeeded in other private and public schools because their teachers couldn’t adequately individualize their learning experience due to the large class sizes. The faculty at Cal Coast Academy are collectively devoted to delivering customized learning that meets the individualistic and holistic needs of every student. They sway away from the lecture-directed, textbook-driven, antiquated approach to learning. Instead, they allow students the opportunity to stimulate one another’s powers of thought through co-active learning. By removing the traditional “one-size-fits-all” approach to education, Cal Cost Academy is essentially bridging the gap between can’t and can and breaking through barriers that prevent students from reaching their true potential.

This is a phenomenal refresher course/mini-crash course currently required of all interpeters in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania who serve students during PSSA/PSTAT standardized testing. It is a required credential prior to dispatch (as well as several other boxes that must be checked, e.g., clearances, fingerprinting, etc.), and I’m tremendously proud of this, a phenomenal effort in our state toward understanding and attempting to set some outside standards/orientation on the profession. One weak point is that the document only mentions using “qualified” interpeters, but does not specify what that means… https://lnkd.in/eWqKDFjz

The best advice I was given when teaching in a class was to be mindful, listen, and flexible. I was told just like a worker has a toolbox with many different types of tools. I needed to have multiple methods to reach all students. The label “Students with Special needs” for students with disabilities is misleading. Every student with or without disabilities has different needs. Inclusive and well designed classrooms benefit all students. #education #teachingandlearning #curriculum #specialeducation #educationforall #educationalexcellence

If you are like my schools, then this year’s Reception group has been exceptional in terms of SLCN. So much so that they are unlikely to access Year 1 easily without some adaptations. So coming up are some posts about things you could be thinking about in advance for next year’s Year 1. ALT TEXT: A photo of a group of primary children in blue school uniforms sat on the floor in a circle with a teacher, with the text 'Have you got a big cohort of SLCN going into Year 1 in September?' #speechandlanguage #speechandlanguagetherapy #speechandlanguagetherapist #speechtherapist #speechandlanguagecpd #SLCN #SLCNsystems #TeamSLCN #SLCNtribe #SEN #SEND #SENDInstagram #earlyyearseducator #primaryteaching #primaryteacher #primary #primaryheadteachers #primaryschool #ect #earlycareerteacher #earlycareerteachers #learningdisabilities #autismacceptance #downsyndrome #dldseeme #developmentallanguagedisorder

📖People with FOP do well at school and many enter the workforce or go on to trade school, college or university and have successful careers. FOP does NOT typically affect intelligence. 📖However, learning disabilities and neurological differences have been observed in some people with variant forms of FOP.

Adult education has been described as the "jewel in the education crown". So why does it fly under the policy radar?
