Alternative Strategies for the Problem Learner: Student Support Team Strategies Manual. A Handbook collected and Adapted by the Georgia Learning Resources Network.
Georgia Learning Resources System/Child Serve, Columbus.
The manual presents the framework of the Student Support Team (SST), an approach involving two or more professionals who develop alternative instructional strategies for students in lieu of special education placement. General considerations are offered for classroom management, curriculum adaptations, and adaptations for the visually and hearing impaired. Guidelines then follow for the following topic areas: behavioral skills (e.g., management of aggression, attention seeking, and impulsivity); reading skills (e.g., basic sight words, content area reading); writing skills (e.g., problems in expression and spelling); organizational skills (e.g., following directions, sequencing, study skills); listening and speaking skills (e.g., verbal expression skills); problem solving skills (e.g., directionality, temporal relationships); and speech/language suggestions (e.g., articulation, stuttering, tips for parents). A final section offers additional assistance on textbook adaptations. (CL)
