What type of graphic organizer(s) might the student require in order to visually represent and organize the concepts, feelings, or behaviors that relate to this particular topic?
The graphic organizer is most likely to be useful in the process of priming the student for a job. The organizer may assist in ‘mapping’ the various elements of the job or in ‘mapping’ the jobs that the student prefers vs. the ones that are less desirable. The organizer supports the student in seeing the ‘big picture’ and may overcome resistance associated with a certain task that is not interesting or seems too difficult to the student. An organizer may assist in getting motivation to do a non-preferred task in order to have the opportunity to do tasks that are strengths or of high interest:
Does the student see from this graphic that he has more interesting task than ‘less preferred’ tasks? Does this help him see that by doing the less preferred tasks along with his favorites, he is getting good experience and moving toward his career goal?
Graphic organizers may help the individual process on-the-job tasks. Below are examples that may be used in computer repair, graphic design, and network management.
As referenced in environmental design, the following graphic organizer can be used to help process repairs by clearly arranging information about the owner, computer, and repair status:
This organizer provides space for the information necessary to guide basic design planning of a website for a student club or small organization:
Another organizer can be used to keep up with changes to network information such as the login password, security key, SSID, etc. This also serves as a visual reminder cue once complete.
Is there a way to visually or thematically incorporate the student’s interests into this graphic organizer to increase motivation and engagement?
What additional visual clarity cues (e.g. icons, bolding, highlighting, color-coding) might you add to the graphic organizer to clarify concepts and to direct attention to key details?
In order to align this intervention topic area with the unique needs of the student, do you need to create a graphic organizer in the View2do program?
