1. All About Learning Differences

Let’s talk about the ways we learn differently. Actually, let’s take a look at Learning Differences, reading resources for families with students who learn differently. This is the second  of three blogs exploring SSPP Reads, your go-to literacy took kit

Assistive Technology (AT) is any kind of aid that assists the learner–something as basic as  pencil and paper to Livescribe’s Pulse Smart Pen, recording/listening devices from Learning Ally (formerly Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic) , or audio books.  There is much to learn in order to get the right tech for your student.  Great Schools headquartered in San Francisco is the country’s leading source on school performance and a key resource for AT information.  Check these links through Assistive Tech.

LD Links has loads of informational links–check out autism, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, speech and language delays, and more.  A good starting place for you to familiarize yourself with learning differences and learning disabilities.

Explore key links to understanding accommodations in the classroom, modifications of curriculum, and psycho-educational assessments.  Learn about IEPs, RTIs, and 504s! See Parent/Teacher Education .

The more you learn about learning differences, the better prepared you are to advocate for your student and to help  your student learn to self-advocate.

2. Parents Education Network and EdRev 2011

Parents Education Network is sponsoring the third annual EdRev at AT&T Park on Saturday, April 16.  You won’t want to miss this fabulous event.  I wrote about it last year.  If nothing else, you get to go on the field of the World Champions San Francisco Giants!  A few highlights:

  • In an exclusive video address, 2010 World Champions San Francisco Giants center fielder Andrés Torres will discuss his own experiences with ADHD and welcome attendees to EdRev 2011 with a message of inspiration and empowerment.  Go Andrés!
  • Dr. L. Todd Rose, Co-Chair of the Mind, Brain, and Education Institute at Harvard will speak of his research on learning–that variability in learning is normal (and valuable), and learning depends on the fit between student and the context.  In this keynote address at EdRev 2011, Dr. Rose will combine personal reflections on his journey with a fascinating glimpse into the revolution in learning that is just around the corner.
  • DJ and live entertainment
  • Live graffiti demonstration
  • Skateboarding demonstration
  • Giants Field activities
  • Student Art Show
  • lots of exhibits for students, parents, and teachers

Free registration for students and teachers!  Come on down, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
