  Case: SPED Students and Writing
I teach 4th and 5th grade resource and I have a hard time getting my students to write a sentence. Now they are asking us to prepare our students for the GA Milestone Test by including Constructive Response questions on all assessments and at least twice weekly in each subject. Any ideas on how I can motivate my students to write more or a new approach to constructive writing???

I, too, am a high school Resource Teacher. I have requested a resource called Write 2 Learn. As a result of the new standards, Pearson created a inexpensive program that will allow the students to self-assess, use word prediction, vocabulary, spell check, paragraph structure, and so much more. I plan to use this program in preparation of GA Milestones, this will help them improve their writing skills and receive immediate feedback on how to correct their own work before final submission. The teacher can create writing prompts or pick from the prompt bank. Also, teach them a strategy such as R.A.C.E.S or A.C.E.S. You can Google them. I know these strategies work and students have the potential, we just have to pull it out of them.
