Words Matter...Choose Carefully

- Person First Language Explained-

Every Student is a General Education Student First.

- identity first -

- Person-first -

For people who prefer identity-first language, the choice is about empowerment. It says that a disability isn’t something to be ashamed of.

For people who prefer person-first language, the choice recognizes that a human is first and foremost a person: They have a disorder, but that disorder doesn’t define them.

Ultimately, the key is to ask, whenever possible, how a person chooses to identify, rather than making assumptions or imposing your own beliefs. Each person’s relationship to language and identity are deeply personal, and everyone’s identity choices are worthy of respect. Being who you choose to be – who you are – is something no language rule should ever take away.

When in doubt, it’s always best to ask.

Access Points are Florida's alternate achievement standards that reflect the essence or core content of the standards and align to grade-level standards.

• Global cognitive impairment
• Adversely impacts multiple areas of functioning across many settings
• Result of a congenital, acquired or traumatic brain injury, or syndrome

Most significant cognitive disability

Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Individuals with Diabilities Education Act (IDEA)

Competitive Employment

• What students need to know and be able to do by the end of the year at each grade level.

• Explicitly states the action (example: identify, calculate, recall, summarize, analyze) that students need to demonstrate to show the teacher they have reached mastery.

Back to the Standards

Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking -B.E.S.T.

Next Generation Sunshine State Standards - NGSSS

How do we examine standards/benchmarks?

A student working on Access Points can be instructed in a variety of settings, including general education classrooms.

Setting Neutral

Let's take a look at the Language Arts Standard

Reading Informational Text (R.2) ELA.3.R.2.1 Explain how text features contribute to meaning and identify the text structures of chronology, comparison and cause/effect in texts. ELA.3.R.2.AP.1Identify the text structures of chronological order, comparison andcause/effect in texts.

Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking B.E.S.T. Standards

ELA Example

Coding Format

• Prerequisite skills and knowledge leading to mastery of the access point

• Scaffolds that disaggregate access points to help teachers provide instruction

• Provide a variety of entry points where a student may begin to interact with grade level content

• Serve as benchmarks along the continuum of learning to ensure progress toward the access points

B.e.s.t. access points Essential Understandings

SS.912.A.2.1 Review causes and consequences of the Civil War.

SS.912.A.2.In.a Identify the major causes and consequences of the Civil War. SS.912.A.2.Su.a Recognize the major causes and consequences of the Civil War. SS.912.A.2.Pa.a Recognize characteristics of life during the Civil War.

Misconceptions about Modifications and Accommodations

Modifications

Alternate Academic Achievement

• reduction of content
• fewer requirements
• less complex level of mastery

Changes in what a student is expected to learn.

Modifications

CC

Accommodations

Opportunities to engage in all subject areas

• setting
• formatting
• response
• timing

Change how a student learns. They do not change what the student is expected to learn.

Accommodations

CC

Universal Design for Learning

B.e.s.t. access points

Intentionally designed to academically challenge students with the most significant cognitive disabilities

Aligned with grade-level expectations

Provide increasing levels of complexity and depth of knowledge

Provide access to the general curriculum

Developed only for students with a significant cognitive disability

ELA.4.R.1.1: Explain how setting, events, conflict, and character development contribute to the plot in a literary text. ELA.4.R.1.AP.1: Show how setting, events, conflict and character development relate to the plot in a literary text.
