Teaching in Classrooms with a Variety of Developmental Levels

 

This video is part of a school consultation I did recently. I spent three days at the school, supporting teachers and therapists as they worked with students, talking to parents to help them understand DIR/Floortime, and generally helping everyone to make progress in their work in this developmental model. I take lots of video, and show it to the staff to give them the opportunity to be reflective about their work. I also sat down with staff and answered their questions for three hours at the end of the third day. I never speak from a script, and my answers to their questions were based in my understanding of their work, and my experiences and education. This clip is me answering a question from one of the teachers in the school, on the subject of providing appropriate instruction in a diverse classroom.

I suggest you use the Closed Captioning, turned on by clicking the cc on the video, if you have any difficulty understanding me. I sometimes speak very quickly.

This video is a little longer than my typical video because it is also on my website under “Consulting”, as an example of the services I provide when I consult to a school.
