Title: Introduction- Kathee Scoggin

KATHEE SCOGGIN:
I know how we've been talking a lot as we've been working on this module
about the idea of what conditions
are present for the child to be available for learning.
If the child is not available to learn the reality it is
that you we are wasting our time and I might as well go out for Coke
because it's not gonna make any difference
So one of the things that we've talked about is what are some of the
internal factors that a child has going on that we may not be aware of.
And then what are the external things that we might be
able to change in one way or another
add, subtract, um, modify
that will allow that child to be alert and available to learn
which is what our goal is and that's what we want the interveners to be able
to have. So that what they're helping that student learn
is possible that we're not wasting our time
or that child's time for making life much worse for them.
