Strategic integration involves logical
and intentional connections between
skills and strategies within instruction.
The intent is to link prerequisite skills
to more complex applications with
higher-order skills.
STRATEGIES FOR TEACHING SPECIAL EDUCATION
CLASSES

1) Form small groups


2) Create classroom centers
3) Blend 'the Basics' with more specialized instruction
4) Rotate lessons
5) Try thematic instruction
6) Provide different levels of books and materials
7) Incorporate play
THE INCLUSIVE
CLASSROOM:
STRATEGIES FOR
EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTION
The IDEA is a federal law which created
and governs special education. It entitles
eligible children with disabilities to the
specially designed instruction and
individualized services and supports the
need to benefit from a free public
education.
SIX PRINCIPLES OF IDEA
1. A Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)
2. Appropriate Evaluation
3. An Individualized Education Program (IEP)
4. Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)
5. Parent and Student Participation in Decision
Making
6. Procedural Safeguards
A FREE APPROPRIATE PUBLIC EDUCATION
(FAPE)
• at public expense under public supervision
• at no cost to the parents
• designed to meet the unique needs of each
eligible student
• provided according to a written Individualized
Program (IEP)
• applies to preschool through high school
APPROPRIATE EVALUATION

A student must be evaluated prior to the


provision of special education services to
determine:
• whether the student is an eligible “child
with a disability”, and if so
• to determine the educational needs of the
student
The evaluation instruments and methods used
must be:
• technically sound
• not culturally discriminatory
• in the language the child uses
• administered by trained and
knowledgeable personnel
• a new or updated evaluation is to be
conducted if there is a reason to suspect a
need or if the parents request one
• an evaluation must be conducted within 60
calendar days of the parent giving consent
• a comprehensive re-evaluation must be
conducted every three years unless both the
parents and the school agree it is not
necessary
Re-evaluations may also occur when:
• conditions warrant
• parents request
 if they disagree with the results
of the school’s evaluation
• parents may seek an independent
evaluation at their own expense
INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION
PROGRAM (IEP)

• an IEP is a written statement for each child


with a disability that is developed,
reviewed, and revised at least annually by a
team
The IEP must:
• contain objectively measurable goals
• be designed to offer meaningful
progress in academic achievement in
the general education curriculum and
in functional performance
LEAST RESTRCTIVE ENVIRONMENT
(LRE)

• the IDEA requires that “. . . To the maximum


extent appropriate, children with
disabilities, including children in public or
private institutions or other care facilities,
are educated with children who are not
disabled.”
PARENT AND STUDENT PARTICIPATION
IN DECISION MAKING
• the development, review, and revision of the IEP
• educational placement decisions
• reviewing evaluation data
• determining what data needs to be collected
during evaluation
• transition planning and services starting by age
14
PROCEDURAL SAFEGUARDS

NOTICES:
• parental rights notice (general information)
• written notice of meetings
• written notice of proposal or refusal to
change educational programming or
placement (specific to your child)
ACCESS TO STUDENT RECORDS:
• review
• obtain copies
• place statement of correction in record
WHEN PARENTS AND EDUCATORS DISAGREE:
• Informal Problem Solving
• IEP Team Discussion
• Resolution Facilitator Process
• Pre-appeal Conference
• Special Education Complaint
• Due Process Hearing
