Three of the following teachers are using effective strategies to help students with special needs. Which one is not?

a. When Chris has an emotional outburst, Ms. Wong does whatever she needs to do in order to pacify him. She is afraid that his behavior might get progressively worse if she does otherwise.
b. Every time Karen insults another child (something that occurs several times a week), Mr. Connelly asks her to consider what her victim might be thinking and feeling, with a particular focus on the damage that her actions have caused the victim.
c. Mrs. Parks spends time at the beginning of each year defining expectations for behavior in the classroom and outlining consequences of good and bad behavior. That way, when problems arise, she can specifically tell children which rule they are breaking and be consistent in administering consequences.
d. When Mr. Dove sees students using good interpersonal skills to work together or resolve conflicts, he praises them and identifies the specific behaviors he is praising them for.

Question 2

Which one of the following strategies is most likely to help students with autism?

a. Convey information in a lecture format and use the same key phrases repeatedly. Children with autism tend to repeat those phrases to themselves and so remember them better.
b. Do not tell students ahead of time about unusual events such as fire drills and assemblies, as they would be unable to focus on anything else until the events occur.
c. Keep the classroom environment stable and predictable. Don't rearrange classroom furniture, and keep the classroom schedule constant.
d. Rotate the seating arrangement occasionally so that the students will get to know their classmates. Otherwise, they are unlikely to have the skills and confidence to approach their peers.
