IEPs and Common Core State Standards: Specially Designed Instructional StrategiesToby Karten

Author Toby Karten presents a variety of specially designed instructional strategies and interventions that teachers and IEP team members can use to connect the individual education programs (IEPs) of students with disabilities to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). It offers a side-by-side outline of the required components of an IEP and the criteria for instruction according to the CCSS. Included are examples of accommodations and instructional supports to use in a student’s IEP to help him/her meet IEP goals as well as math and literacy standards.

CCSS and ELLs

Estee Lopez, Ed.D.

This guide is an essential quick-reference tool for teachers and other professionals who strive to align their curriculum to the common core and incorporate research-based best practices to help English language learners—and all students—succeed.

It is also designed to initiate professional learning conversations and direct educators to resources that will accelerate and improve the teaching and learning of ELL students. Readers will learn: • Best practices for teaching ELLs • An integrated approach to content and language objectives • Scaffolding strategies • Questioning techniques

ELLs: Thinking Skills and Common Core State Standards—Focus on the Six ShiftsEstee Lopez, Ed.D.

The instructional shifts of the CCSS set high expectations for teachers of English language learners and all learners. Curricular materials and classroom instruction must be aligned to the CCSS with a focus on language, literacy and thinking skills. It is important that the 6 shifts in the CCSS for Literacy are accessible for ELLs. The understanding of each shift is essential to helping students succeed with the CCSS. This laminated guide is designed to support the teaching and learning of ELLs with effective suggestions to deliver engaging instruction and professional development.

CCSS and UDL

Joseph Casbarro, Ph.D.

Given the prevelance of student diversity, schools are struggling to find ways to help with the implementation of CCSS. One key to meeting the challenge of the wide range of student learning styles, socio-economic backgrounds and life experiences, is the use of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Originally developed to address the instructional needs of students with disabilities, UDL is now being embraced as an answer to creating learning environments where all students, regardless of their individual differences, can meet the CCSS.

CO-TEACHING BASICS

Copyright © 2014

Co-TeaChingby Marilyn Friend

StrategieS to improve Student outcomeS

• Co-teaching is implemented by two professionals with equivalent licensure but different areas of expertise. One partner usually is a general education teacher. The other most often is a special educator or ESL teacher but could also be a speech/language therapist, school psychologist, or another professional.• The goal of co-teaching is the provision, within the general education

setting, of the specialized instruction needed by identified students.• Co-Teachers have a reciprocal relationship and share instructional responsibilities. Both teachers have ownership of all students and work together to effectively maximize the learning of all their shared students.

• Instruction takes place in a single shared classroom, exceptions occurring when students have alternative provisions (e.g., testing in a separate setting) or the instructional activity is best carried out in two settings (e.g., some students are in the media center using computers while others are in the classroom using print materials). If two teachers often divide students across classrooms, issues could occur about curriculum access, students’ placement, and teacher qualifications. • Co-teachers negotiate their roles. The intent is to take advantage of the expertise each professional brings to the partnership, setting aside assumptions about traditional responsibilities and forging new ways of thinking about teaching and learning.

• Inclusion. Inclusion refers to a school’s belief system or philosophy about educating diverse learners, implying that all students are welcomed and supported members of the learning community. Although the general education setting is strongly preferred, inclusion is about how students are treated rather than solely about where they are seated. Inclusive schools have services in separate settings as necessary for student success. In schools characterized as “full inclusion,” that is, having services exclusively in general education, the needs of some students may be ignored. Co-teaching is a common practice in inclusive schools, but some students participate in general education classes without this arrangement and receive services through consultation or in a separate setting for some part of the school day.• Team Teaching. Team teaching, first described in the professional literature in the 1950s, is the term to describe two general education teachers partnering for instruction, most commonly with two full class groups (Warwick, 1971). Team teaching also is associated with middle

schools in which several teachers share responsibility for the same group of students, although they teach separately. In some locales, implementation of the Common Core State Standards is rekindling interest in team teaching to foster interdisciplinary instruction.• Paraprofessional Support. Paraprofessionals are valuable school

personnel who assist teachers in many instructional and clerical tasks, but the support they provide is not co-teaching. First, they are employed in a different capacity than teachers (even if they have teaching credentials), and their responsibilities should reflect this. Generally, their work is directed by teachers, and they are not directly accountable for students’ instruction. Thus, paraprofessionals should be in general education classrooms, and they should work with individual pupils or small groups of students, gather data, or monitor students as they work independently. The caution is that paraprofessionals generally should not have responsibility for initial instruction and should not be expected to assume the same responsibilities as a co-teacher.

What is Co-Teaching?Co-teaching is a service delivery option. That is, when students are entitled to receive special education or

other specialized services (for example, those for English learners), co-teaching is a vehicle for providing

those services within the context of the general education classroom instead of sending students to a sepa-

rate setting for that purpose. These are the critical characteristics of co-teaching:

Why Co-Teach?Co-teaching has been part of inclusive practices for nearly 30 years (e.g., Bauwens, Hourcade, & Friend, 1989), but it has developed rapidly over

the past decade in response to several trends. The first is the expectation, established in federal and state law and policy, that students with dis-

abilities have the same curriculum access and rigorous academic standards as other students. This expectation is grounded in the fact that more

than 80% of all school-age students receiving special education services have no intellectual disabilities (U.S. Department of Education, 2012).

A second factor influencing interest in co-teaching is slowly growing evidence of its effectiveness. Although empirical research on co-teaching

is still scarce (Solis, Vaughn, Swanson, & McCulley, 2012), retrospective studies of school districts with unexpectedly high achievement among

students with disabilities have found that co-teaching often is a preferred service delivery option (Huberman, Navo, & Parrish, 2012; Silverman,

Hazelwood, & Cronin, 2009; Walsh, 2012). In addition, in schools in which co-teaching is implemented with fidelity, students’ achievement out-

comes improve, sometimes dramatically (Benningfield, 2012). What Practices are Related to—but Distinct from—Co-Teaching?Part of understanding co-teaching is recognizing how it relates to other concepts that sometimes, mistakenly, are used interchangeably. Here are

a few examples:

Co-Teaching: Strategies to Improve Student OutcomesBy Dr. Marilyn Friend Co-teaching is a popular service delivery model for students who are entitled to special education or other specialized services, such as support services for

Chromebooks TM in the Classroom: Changing the Landscape of Education Brian S. Friedlander & Mike Marotta

Chromebooks are revolutionizing the way students and educators are using computers. Chromebooks provide students with a wide range of applications that operate the Chrome Operating System (OS) by Google. With Chrome (and the Chromebook) comes the promise of providing universal supports for all learners through a cloud-based system that de-emphasizes the hardware and instead focuses on providing the student support anywhere learning happens. This paradigm shift has the potential to level the playing field and provide universal design for learning (UDL) supports across the curriculum.This guide introduces teachers to Chromebooks by Google and explores how they can be used in the classroom to provide universal supports across the curriculum to all learners, eliminating the need for specialized assistive technology devices for students with special needs.

The Common Sense of Differentiation:Meeting Specific Learner Needs in the Regular ClassroomUse the DVD and accompanying Facilitator’s Guide to visit elementary, middle, and high school classes to see how a differentiated approach helps to identify the learning needs of students and adapt instructional plans to maximize success for each learner.Program 1, Discovering Learner Needs, examines how teachers identify/understand learner needs by: Assessing students’ status related to the prerequisites for a particular course unit; Pre-assessing students’ knowledge, understanding, and skills that are the focus of an upcoming unit; and Using ongoing assessment to understand each student’s progress toward essential goals.Program 2, Techniques for Adjusting Instruction, helps teachers explore techniques for addressing students’ diverse learning needs. Teachers explain and demonstrate how they determine “clusters” of learning needs among their students and use a range of techniques to help students draw on their strengths and overcome learning problems. Program 3, Classroom Routines, explores routines that help teachers address learner needs in ways that are comfortable and predictable for both teachers and students. Scenes from elementary and secondary classrooms demonstrate classroom routines that anticipate and address variance in learner needs and support differentiation.

CO-TEACHING BASICS

Copyright © 2014

Co-TeaChingby Marilyn Friend

StrategieS to improve Student outcomeS

• Co-teaching is implemented by two professionals with equivalent licensure but different areas of expertise. One partner usually is a general education teacher. The other most often is a special educator or ESL teacher but could also be a speech/language therapist, school psychologist, or another professional.• The goal of co-teaching is the provision, within the general education

setting, of the specialized instruction needed by identified students.• Co-Teachers have a reciprocal relationship and share instructional responsibilities. Both teachers have ownership of all students and work together to effectively maximize the learning of all their shared students.

• Instruction takes place in a single shared classroom, exceptions occurring when students have alternative provisions (e.g., testing in a separate setting) or the instructional activity is best carried out in two settings (e.g., some students are in the media center using computers while others are in the classroom using print materials). If two teachers often divide students across classrooms, issues could occur about curriculum access, students’ placement, and teacher qualifications. • Co-teachers negotiate their roles. The intent is to take advantage of the expertise each professional brings to the partnership, setting aside assumptions about traditional responsibilities and forging new ways of thinking about teaching and learning.

• Inclusion. Inclusion refers to a school’s belief system or philosophy about educating diverse learners, implying that all students are welcomed and supported members of the learning community. Although the general education setting is strongly preferred, inclusion is about how students are treated rather than solely about where they are seated. Inclusive schools have services in separate settings as necessary for student success. In schools characterized as “full inclusion,” that is, having services exclusively in general education, the needs of some students may be ignored. Co-teaching is a common practice in inclusive schools, but some students participate in general education classes without this arrangement and receive services through consultation or in a separate setting for some part of the school day.• Team Teaching. Team teaching, first described in the professional literature in the 1950s, is the term to describe two general education teachers partnering for instruction, most commonly with two full class groups (Warwick, 1971). Team teaching also is associated with middle

schools in which several teachers share responsibility for the same group of students, although they teach separately. In some locales, implementation of the Common Core State Standards is rekindling interest in team teaching to foster interdisciplinary instruction.• Paraprofessional Support. Paraprofessionals are valuable school

personnel who assist teachers in many instructional and clerical tasks, but the support they provide is not co-teaching. First, they are employed in a different capacity than teachers (even if they have teaching credentials), and their responsibilities should reflect this. Generally, their work is directed by teachers, and they are not directly accountable for students’ instruction. Thus, paraprofessionals should be in general education classrooms, and they should work with individual pupils or small groups of students, gather data, or monitor students as they work independently. The caution is that paraprofessionals generally should not have responsibility for initial instruction and should not be expected to assume the same responsibilities as a co-teacher.

What is Co-Teaching?Co-teaching is a service delivery option. That is, when students are entitled to receive special education or

other specialized services (for example, those for English learners), co-teaching is a vehicle for providing

those services within the context of the general education classroom instead of sending students to a sepa-

rate setting for that purpose. These are the critical characteristics of co-teaching:

Why Co-Teach?Co-teaching has been part of inclusive practices for nearly 30 years (e.g., Bauwens, Hourcade, & Friend, 1989), but it has developed rapidly over

the past decade in response to several trends. The first is the expectation, established in federal and state law and policy, that students with dis-

abilities have the same curriculum access and rigorous academic standards as other students. This expectation is grounded in the fact that more

than 80% of all school-age students receiving special education services have no intellectual disabilities (U.S. Department of Education, 2012).

A second factor influencing interest in co-teaching is slowly growing evidence of its effectiveness. Although empirical research on co-teaching

is still scarce (Solis, Vaughn, Swanson, & McCulley, 2012), retrospective studies of school districts with unexpectedly high achievement among

students with disabilities have found that co-teaching often is a preferred service delivery option (Huberman, Navo, & Parrish, 2012; Silverman,

Hazelwood, & Cronin, 2009; Walsh, 2012). In addition, in schools in which co-teaching is implemented with fidelity, students’ achievement out-

comes improve, sometimes dramatically (Benningfield, 2012). What Practices are Related to—but Distinct from—Co-Teaching?Part of understanding co-teaching is recognizing how it relates to other concepts that sometimes, mistakenly, are used interchangeably. Here are

a few examples:

Let’s Team Up!A Checklist for Teachers, Paraeducators & PrincipalsKent Gerlach, Ed.D.

No longer can teachers working alone meet the needs of all students. Budget reductions, heavier workloads, more rigorous curricular standards, the inclusion of students with disabilities, as well as the increased numbers of English language learners (ELLs) are just a few of the many factors contributing to the rising pressure on today’s classroom teachers. What inspired Let’s Team Up? There is a growing recognition of the importance of paraeducators in the educational process and how their contributions can be so vital to student achievement. That is why an effective, collaborative and productive team of teachers, paraeducators and principals working together is essential to success in 21st century schools.

How does the Checklist help build partnerships? Dr. Kent Gerlach, nationally known consultant, presenter and author on paraeducator training, teaming and collaboration, presents a practical resource that clarifies the roles and responsibilities of each of the three essential members of the instructional team. Written in an easy-to-read checklist format, Kent provides valuable strategies and insights for each member of the instructional team: the teacher, the paraeducator and the principal. Most importantly, the reader will learn how each member of the school team can understand and strengthen their roles and responsibilities so that the needs of all students can be successfully met.2015, paperback, 144 pages Item # LTUC-FA15 $9.95

Chromebooks TM in the Classroom: Changing the Landscape of Education Brian S. Friedlander & Mike Marotta
