This We Believe Connections:
• Educators use multiple learning and teaching approaches
• Varied and ongoing assessments advance learning as well as measure it
![Page 3: Special Education and the Middle Level Structure€¦ · teacher on a concept 42 Extension/ i.e. World Language Extension/ i.e. World Language 86 Semester Science/ Social Studies](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042318/5f07958a7e708231d41db678/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Objectives:
• Identify actions middle level leaders might take to
support high-quality specially designed instruction
in their schools.
• Understand options for special education services
in the middle grades structure.
• Explore how the focus on the “first teach” serves
students in universally designed middle grades
classrooms.
• Consider various tools and schedule structures
that support multi-tiered system of support for your
middle school.

To establish effective co-teaching practices, consider the
following:
❏ Supports are in place to facilitate co-teaching (master
schedule accommodates co-teaching, common planning
time, professional development opportunities for co-
teachers).
❏ Heterogeneous groups of students are assigned to co-
taught classrooms, and students are grouped
heterogeneously within the classroom.
❏ IEP accommodations, modifications, and specialized
instruction are provided.
❏ General and special education teachers share equitably
in all aspects of teaching, planning, instruction,
assessment.
❏ Co-teachers allocate time to discuss their co-teaching
team’s successes and areas for improvement.

Student Schedule Model
The second student, struggled through elementary school. His language arts abilities are below grade level, he has an IEP for reading, and his math skills are slightly above grade level. He's an extremely talented artist, but has been hindered in his ability to expand his interest because of " pull out " times in elementary school to increase his reading ability.

Student Schedule ModelThe third student, is
average. She comes to
school regularly, does her
homework on time, and
receives “B” and “C”
grades.
She's pleasant, never
complains, and is quiet
in class. Teachers
remark on the fact that
she is a good student, but
spend little extra time with
her, compared to other
students in the class who
have significant needs.
