Reflect back to our original question- How can we ensure success for specific groups of students through assessment
practices- Students with specific learning disabilities- Intellectual impairment

Research
The importance of investigation to allow students to explore the entire
possibilities of any given topic. Successfully inclusion for all students takes
time to plan and follow the Backwards design process to ensure success for
all students. The case study proves that all children can succeed with
mainstream assessment that is modified to suit their individual learning
needs. According to Marzano and Pickering, 2010, this type of investigation
requires the students and etchers to dig deeper into the story or in this case
assessment to discover the contradictions, inconstancies and other
indicators. As teachers it is our role to source the students knowledge and
plan around these issues to complete the task at hand.
According to Snowman, Dobozy, Scevak, Bryer, Bartlett and Beihler,
2009, Queensland Government schools alone 48% of students have a form
of Intellectual impairment. It can include oral language, reading, written
language and mathematics.

Strategies
Before engaging the students explore what they
know about the topic. Find the misconceptions or
confusions first. This strategy allows the class and
the teacher to understand where the lesson leads
you next.
As a teacher you need to ask open-ended
questions and wait for students to process the
information fist.
Can you begin to follow the C2C or different
lessons or do we need to go back a little further to
explore real life scenarios first.
Walk them through the steps of the investigation
process. Use PECS cards or a different visual tool
if needed.
Create a poster of the steps we will be taking.

2014, Inclusive strategies enable a learner with a disability to achieve by
making reasonable adjustments. Under the disability act 1992, as sited in the
QSAA a teacher is required to make adjustments to ensure all students can
demonstrate their skills, knowledge and competencies.
The advertising unit that was used as the foundation of the unit plan was a
C2C model. It embedded the requirements and knowledge to understand
what an advertisement was made up of. The lessons included real life
experiences of items that were familiar to the students, toys, fast food etc. All
of which interested and engaged the students once they had learnt all there
was to know about advertising. The teachers discussed the lesson plans for
technology and ensured the students had the prior knowledge to be able
to succeed.
