Summary:
Students learn best when they truly belong as part of a supportive, collaborative learning community. Through Specially Designed Instruction (SDI), educators adapt content, methodology or delivery of instruction to address the student’s needs. With structure, order and predictability in the inclusive classroom, all students benefit from the implementation of best practices. Throughout this session, participants will gain a better understanding of SDI, the relationship of the special and general educators, and strategies to increase initiation, investment and engagement for all students.

Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to define key characteristics of Specially Designed Instruction (SDI).
2. Participants will gain an understanding of best practices such as data collection, structured environments, prompting and fading, as well as academic accommodations to implement in the co-taught setting.
3.Participants will learn strategies to co-plan and create a partnership between the special education teacher and the general education teacher.
