What Went Well?
The Framing Routine has been proven to help students with learning disabilities identify main ideas of a key topic and their essential details. The frame is very teacher friendly and can be used in many disciplines. Students liked that they can be used to organize information. I found that they retained the subject matter and were able to process the information easier. We had the students complete each section of the frame one at a time to help stay organized. We believe the frames have assisted our students in becoming more strategic learners.
What was a Challenge?
With some students, the size of the boxes was a challenge. We differentiated for those students by using larger paper and adding lines. My co-teacher and I created two different frames and utilized them based on the needs of each individual student.
What will I do Next time?
Moving forward, I believe the students can be placed in small groups so we can dig deeper into the content area the students are learning about. I believe this promotes a safe environment in which the students can explore their own strategies within the frame that works best for them.
What Adjustments we made?
As I stated above, my co-teacher and I have created two different frames based on the needs of our students and this has helped tremendously incorporating these into our lesson plans.
