Standards-Based Instruction: Could it Happen in Special Education?
Presenters

Description
How can we close the achievement gaps that seem to be persistent or widening for special education students? Research-based systematic standards-focused instruction has tremendously improved outcomes for general education students, but how can this same approach facilitate closing the achievement gap between general and special education students? In this interactive presentation, learn how special educators can implement standards-focused instruction and how appropriately written Individualized Educational Programs (IEPs) can support the attainment of grade-level standard skills. Silvia DeRuvo, Special Education Resources Development Specialist for Center for Prevention and Early Intervention at WestEd, will present information on how teachers can "unpack the standards" to drive instruction that will meet standards-based IEP goals.
**Please note that there was a problem with the sound during the introduction of this event archive, but the sound for the rest of the presentation is clear.

This webinar gave me some talking points to use with my staff — standards are a floor, not a ceiling, and all children deserve access to them.
