Size Allow different ways for response
Reduce the number of problems
required (oral, visual, tactile)
Chunk assignment Difficulty
Time Change the skill level of the task
Allow extra time to complete Participation
task Allow student to be less involved in
Create timeline for completion activities
Level of Support Alternate Goals
Provide assistance
peer/TA/tutor Use the same material but require a
Input different outcome
Allow different ways to get the Substitute Curriculum
information (oral, visual, tactile) Teach a different curriculum for a

 Direct Instruction
Direct Instruction is a teaching strategy that is
teacher-directed. There are three components
to direct instruction. They are program design,
instructional organization, and student-
teacher interactions.

Program Design refers to what content is

being taught. Instructional Organization is how
the content is going to be taught and progress
monitored. Student-teacher interactions
details the way the students will be interacting
with the teacher to learn the content.

Always check for understanding.

Universal Design for Learning

UDL recognizes that people

learn differently. It is a
strategy that maximizes
learning by providing learning
opportunities for all learners.
UDL is flexible to accommodate
all learners, not just those with
disabilities.

 Differentiated Instruction

In order to successfully differentiate

instruction, you must know your students, the
culture of the community, the content you are
teaching, and your students learning
styles/interests.

 Teaching Social Skills
Social skills can be taught through a
planned lesson or teachers can take
advantage of opportunities to facilitate
them. Students can role play a
situation or use an activity book to
learn about social skills. Teachers can
provide feedback and recognize and
reward those using appropriate social
skills. Social skills must be practiced.

 Six Types of Co-Teaching
One Teach, One Observe Used to collect data during instruction
Station Teaching Class is divided into groups, teachers have
different lessons, students rotate
Parallel Teaching Class is divided, teachers have same lesson,
teachers teach at the same time
Alternative Teaching Small group that needs extra supervision is
separated. Teachers have same lesson and
teach at the same time
Team Teaching Teachers teach the lesson together
One Teach, One Assist One teacher is primarily responsible for
teaching the lesson. One teacher is
providing assistance as needed.

is only possible through communication.
Teachers must find time to work together on
the lesson plans and discuss...
 Response to Intervention
Multi-tier approach

behavior needs
Progress is closely monitored
Parents are given information and are

If desired progress is not achieved, student
can be referred for a comprehensive evaluation
and considered for eligibility for special education
services.
