Long Term Educational Goals
— Information Processing
Strength Difficulty
Difficulty...
Develop and/or compensate for difficulty with:
Sequential Processing
 

student may brainstorm and record ideas first, later "cut and paste" & organize

 

teacher may give tasks broken into step-by-step increments

 

teacher may assist student in ordering steps in a given process before embarking on it

 

teacher may provide student with an outline or chart that the student can then fill in

Simultaneous Processing
 

teacher may give the student a structured form (e.g. outline, map, chart) and then student may fill in specifics

 

teacher may present new information deductively i.e., state main idea first, then explain how details support concept

 

teacher may provide student with advance organizers

Speed of Information Processing
 

teacher may provide the student with a structured overview of the class

 

teacher may provide student with a note-taking outline or chart that the student can then fill in

 

teacher may provide student with advance organizers

 

student may use note-taking buddy

 

student may tape class lecture/discussion

 

teacher may repeat information and may pause before moving on to next fact/concept

 

teacher may ask student if she/he understood before moving on to next fact/concept

 

teacher may allow student extra time for processing (reading, writing, formulating and answer)

 

student may use the SQ3R approach to text study

Strength...
Use strength in:
Sequential Processing
 

student may use sequencing ability to structure time

 

student may use sequencing ability to organize tasks into a list of steps

Simultaneaous Processing
 

teacher may encourage student to contribute insights to class discussions

 

teacher may encourage student to synthesize varied sources of information

 

teacher may present model to reinforce sequential instructions

 

teacher/student may list specifics first, then look for common denominator(s) in written work

Speed of Information Processing
 

teacher may allow student to work ahead in text

 

student may assist peer who has difficulty in this area
