  7. Beginning of the Program: TeachLivE™ • Students practice beginning teaching skills in safe, simulated environment • Good planning, clear modeling, checking for understanding • Building rapport • Students debrief and discuss in small groups • Students watch and reflect on video • Faculty use a rubric to evaluate, give feedback & guidance • EBPs practiced: • Direct Instruction

  8. A Developmental Continuum of Clinical Experiences

  9. Middle of the Program: Special Education Literacy Clinic • Special Education Literacy Clinic • Second of two classes in reading instruction • Students apply what they’ve learned • Partners work with children grades K-12 to tutor on specific skills • EBPs practiced: • Assessment-driven instruction • Research-based reading instruction (NRP) • Direct instruction of skills • Collaboration with teachers and parents • Positive Behavior Support

  16. Task 1: Context for Learning

  17. Task 2: Planning for Assessment and Instruction

  18. Task 3: Instructing Students and Supporting Learning
