Taskstream Faculty Instructions Taskstream Student Instructions Turnitin Feature QuickScore Feature Contact Information What is TaskStream? TaskStream offers the College of Education a stable and powerful set of tools to support collection and analysis of student outcomes in all of our programs. It also offers students a personalized space to submit assignments and to use their best work for building an online portfolio. What is TaskStream? (cont.) TaskStream is used to evaluate student outcome as part of accreditation. TaskStream is used to assist students in the collection, preservation, organization, evaluation, and dissemination of activities, assignments, evidences and reflections that are associated with competencies and standards throughout their teacher education program. It is needed in order to receive program approval from the FDOE for its teacher preparation program and accreditation from The National Council of Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Southern Accreditation of Colleges and Schools (SACS). Faculty Instructions Step-by-Step instructions and Resource Documents for Faculty/Adjuncts can be found: Faculty Instruction Pages Turnitin Feature Author work submitted to TaskStream can be sent to Turnitin (an external vendor) for originality reporting (a.k.a., ‘plagiarism detection’). All submitted student work has a Turnitin Originality Report generated for attachments, text areas, and forms. Turnitin Feature, continued Turnitin has a disclaimer that Originality Reports can take up to 24 hours to generate. However, Turnitin is usually able to process the files much faster than that, usually within a few minutes after Author submission.

Alcoholism/Drug Addiction- Must have attended a treatment program. Health/Pain Related Disabilities-Arthritis, Chronic Fatigue, Lupus, Sickle Cell Anemia, Diabetes, AIDS, Cancer, Asthma, Carpal Tunnel. Traumatic Brain Injury Temporary- broken arms, etc. 2010-2011 DRC student profile PRESENTATION GOALS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. To understand how we process information. To recognize learning styles. To develop strategies that make learning easier and tutoring more effective. To gain insight concerning other disabilities and to learn how to help appropriately Etiquette Tips PROCESSING INFORMATION VISUAL PROCESSING AUDITORY PROCESSSING VISUAL AND AUDITORY PROCESSING Lead to cognition BUT TOUCH AND MOVEMENT Also lead to cognition Understanding the Learning Process Input Short term memory Working memory Long term memory – – Storage Retrieval output Input This is the student’s ability to receive your message. Letters and words might get mixed up, reading might be slow, spelling and math calculation can be very difficult. With an auditory processing problem, sometimes what you say is not what is heard. You need to make sure your message is getting in. Short Term and Working Memory Short term: Lasts only for few minutes. Student with a disorder that affects short term memory will get the message, but will lose it soon afterwards and will need to hear it again. Working memory is a longer period of time when a student is processing the information and trying to understand what the tutor or Instructor is saying. Long term memory, storage, and retrieval With long term memory a student is able to retain the information until needed. Long term storage is where the student files the information Retrieval is the method the student uses to retrieve the memory during the test. STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL ARE THE POINTS WHEN STRATEGIES BECOME VERY IMPORTANT TO THE STUDENT Retrieval – It’s like finding the right string to grab onto! Get hold of the string, pull, and the rest will follow!!! Output Remembering the information Taking the test Writing the paper Discussing in class Answering questions correctly Using Strategies to Enhance Learning Styles of VAT/K Visual Auditory Tactile/kinesthetic Visual Use lots of colors: colored paper, markers, index cards, sticky notes. Highlight student’s class notes, text, and study materials that you prepared as a tutor. Divide each chapter into different colors. Put extra white space between problems. Use easy to read pens/pencils. Print if you have terrible handwriting. Use silly pictures next to problem as a reminder. Auditory Use various tones when you lecture. Create simple/silly rhymes. Use mnemonics to help remember Limit information to no more than 4 or 5 chunks of material at time. Make certain the student is looking at you when you speak. Allow students to digitally record information for use later when reviewing their notes, especially things like vocabulary words and meanings. Have the student repeat information back to you. Tactile/kinesthetic Have the student do the work at a white board, chalkboard, or paper chart. Standing, writing, talking and thinking are all happening at once. Have the student duplicate what you put on paper. Use hands on activities to replicate the concept you are tutoring or teaching. Visual impairments Some students have total lack of vision, others have partial vision. Use the CCTV machines when appropriate. Some students prefer to use JAWS to read the computer screen to them. Use heavy black markers and large lettering when appropriate. Talk clearly and directly to the student. Understand if the student has visual points of reference. Students who were born blind may not have same mental images as you do. Hearing impairments Some students have hearing aids, some students use FM systems, and other students will use interpreters and sign language. Always speak directly to the student, not to the interpreter. Question the student often to make sure that the information you think is going in is, in fact, truly the same information. Speak clearly and repeat as necessary. Emotional, psychological, ADHD, etc. Help the students stay focused and on task. Use strategies like color highlights or digital recorder. Do not criticize the students who may get easily frustrated or angry. Listen with a positive, non-defensive reaction, but DO NOT GIVE ADVICE. Give students a short break if they are losing the ability to concentrate. Try a different seating arrangement. Change the subject matter (if student agrees) to something less aggravating for a while. Use concrete and descriptive language and narrow down options or scope of projects whenever possible. Set boundaries and class rules Asperger’s vs. Autism ASD is one of the five developmental disabilities known as pervasive development Disorder (PDD) Aspergers’s Syndrome, Pervasive Development disorder, Not otherwise Specified (Pdd-NOS), Autism, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD), and Rett’s Disorder. The number of persons with ASD has been growing in the past decade, and current estimates suggest that as many as one child in every 150 born today will be diagnosed with ASD. Guidelines for working with ASD students Be explicit in expectations for assignments and class rules Be concrete with dates so the student can make decisions about dropping when possible Create flexibility so students can have alternative assignments available Consider using multiple instructional mediums Offer information on new activities to minimize fears of unknown Opportunity for practice and repetition Utilize token economies Physically or medically impaired Student may get easily tired, so watch for signs of fatigue. Students may have pain that causes them to lose concentration. You may need to provide a better seating arrangement. Medication may be slowing down processing, so be patient and make sure student can give you back the information completely. Do not touch wheelchairs while speaking to the student. You are invading their personal space. When tutoring remember the following procedures: Make eye contact When tutoring remember the following procedures: Watch the student for signs of confusion When tutoring remember the following procedures: Make certain the student can repeat back what you just taught Allow the student to be active: let student write on the board, do the problem on paper, handle any manipulative materials you may use; some students may be very tactile learners. When tutoring remember the following procedures: Give the student a closer look at the material you just explained. When tutoring remember the following procedures: Break down the steps When tutoring remember the following procedures: Give the student enough time to process When tutoring remember the following procedures: Ask questions to the student and finally… Can the student repeat the information aloud? Etiquette Tips General – – – Wheelchair – – – Put the person first. Say “person with a disability” rather than a “disabled person.” Avoid outdated terms like “handicapped” or “crippled.” Do not assume someone with a disability needs help. The best thing to do is to ask if he/she needs assistance. Do not lean or rest on someone's wheelchair. It is considered personal space. If the service counter is too high for a wheelchair user to see over, step around the counter to provide service. Have a clipboard handy if filling out forms is necessary Service Animals – – – Do not feed, pet, or speak to the animal. This dog is working and does not need to be distracted. If the person has a guide dog, walk on the side opposite the dog. Warn the person of any impending obstacles if the person is visually impaired. Etiquette Tips Blind/Visually Impaired – – – Identify yourself and your title before you begin your conversation. Do not grab the person’s arm. Offer your arm or elbow to guide the individual. Make sure the person is left in a comfortable spot when you need to leave - not in the middle of a large room but along the wall or near a door. Deaf/Hearing Impaired – – – When speaking with the student who has an interpreter (sign language), make eye contact with the student not the interpreter. Speak clearly but in a normal tone in case the person is reading your lips. If communicating in writing, keep the message as uncomplicated as possible. Etiquette Tips Seizure – – – – Clear obstacles that may cause bodily harm. If you feel someone’s life is in immediate danger due to any seizure or other health-related problem, use your own judgment and call 911. Be aware the certain lights (strobe lights) or high pitched alarm sounds can trigger seizures in some people. Provide a referral to DRC so that the person gets proper accommodations as needed.
