Learning Objectives
All states were required to develop a State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP) that includes a comprehensive, multi‐year focus on
improving results for Students with Disabilities (SWD).
Georgia has branded its SSIP as Student Success: Imagine the Possibilities (SSIP)
andwill address graduation outcomes for SWD

Federal/State Compliance
Self Directed Learning Within a Co-
Taught Classroom• Our primary goal is to begin
shifting student thinking so that they are in control and responsible for their own learning
Main Objectives:
• Continue driving students forward who are ready
• Target instruction for students that require additional assistance through one on one and small group
Definition
Facts & Features
Relative Advantages/Disadvantages
• When we begin a new unit, students are given their packet/guide for the strand we are introducing
• Students then watch the teacher created video and engage in different activities which can include interactive games or websites
• One of the major benefits of the teacher created video is that both teachers are able to provide attention to students with the highest needs throughout the instructional process
• As these students are identified they will be placed in a small group for more intensive instruction

The Process
• Students are self-reporting their work throughout the process
• The only formative grades taken are All-In Learning Quick checks. 10-12 Questions
• 80 or above student continues to next strand
• Students who need motivation have daily goals for completion, based on student choice, PBIS signatures, etc.
Student Progress
• Student profiles are developed at the beginning of the school year based on the psychological evaluation
• Student profiles are developed based on student’s strengths and weaknesses- processing deficits
• Learning strategies and accommodations target student deficits from day 1
• Student profiles eliminate guess work and a foundation for student success is developed immediately
• Pre-determined learning strategies and accommodations assist our general education teachers to best serve our students

Learning Profile
• The underlying goal of implementing a blended learning model for students with disabilities is meeting students where they are based on their readiness, learning profiles, and interest.
Blended Learning
Blended LearningBenefits
Challenges-Flexibility-Individualized learning in pace and content-A scaffold of support can be provided without falling behind in content
-Minimal Interaction with classmates-Lack of face to face instruction-Time commitment and cost can be high to get started
In some cases students are ready to move on cognitively, but there are other mitigating factors hindering success in a traditional environment
• EBD
• Autism
• Processing Deficits
It is not just for SWD…
• Credit Recovery
• Transfer Students
• Gifted/Accelerated Students
• Remediation
Blended Learning
The Learning Continuum
Wicked Wednesdays
• Highly qualified teachers who are willing to plan collaboratively with special educators using virtual curriculum
• A strong partnership with the provider of your online platform
• School leaders that are willing to think “outside the box” when creating successful environments for EVERY student
Blended Learning Keys to Success
• Blended learning is another tool that educators use to differentiate instruction
• It is not the answer for all students, but it provides flexibility when combining resources to facilitate student success
Blended Learning
• Mutual planning periods for co-teaching teams • Data Teams comprised of co-
teaching teams • Co-teachers stay within
discipline • HQ content area co-teachers • Opportunities to present
successes and failures with other teams
• Successful Co-teaching Alignment • Successful co-teaching teams
stay together • Co-teachers follow students
from year to year
Successful Co-Teaching
Incorporation of and training on all 6 co-teaching models 1. One Teach, One
Observe2. One Teach, One
Assist 3. Parallel Teaching 4. Station Teaching 5. Alternative
Teaching 6. Team Teaching
Successful Co-Teaching
Problem:• Growing SPED population requires more specialized instruction• Large class sizes• Co-teachers not specialized in content area
Solution:• Incorporation of direct instruction classes comprised of a small
population of SPED students with a HQ instructor certified in both their content area and SPED practices
**Classes are not modified curriculum, but offer special needs students the challenging and uniquely tailored environment they need to succeed**
