Case: Middle Grades Special Education Math
I teach a self contained, special education class with students from 5th grade to 8th grade who are on different developmental levels. In the past the teacher before me taught them at the level of the lowest grade in the class. In other words, if I have a room with 5th through 8th graders, this teacher would teach from 5th grade standards. I am not comfortable doing this because I believe that my higher level students will suffer. What other options do I have that will be most effective at increasing student achievement?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have not had your same experience, but in a general education classroom I have often had students with a variety of skill or abilities. I find a great way to differentiate instruction and meet the needs of all of my learners is to use learning clubs or small groups. Each learning club area would feature different tasks for each level of learner according to their needs. You may be able to change them out as needed for different concepts based upon ability. You are able to work with smaller numbers of students while having other groups work on specific tasks to their own ability levels. All of your students will still receive small group instruction and even one-on-one attention if needed within their own group. |
