Planning The first step is to coordinate with the classroom teachers that being supported so that skill groups are done at staggered times. For example:
Scheduling Support Staff Next, coordinate skill group times in different classrooms so that support staff can facilitate groups in two different classrooms. Williams support schedule: Enriquez support schedule:
How will we work together? • Special education teachers align with classroom teachers at different grade levels so that each class that includes students with IEPs receives a block of a special education teacher’s time. • Classroom teachers plan with each other and with the special education teachers to stagger skill group times to ensure support during that time.
What are the benefits? • Students with disabilities have access to the general education curriculum • Less instructional time lost vs. moving to different location • Classroom teachers receive daily support during skill groups • Support providers are included in planning and instruction with classroom peers, allowing for better match of instructional goals as well as synergy of staff
Flexibility is a must! Schoolwide Instructional Design reflects a dynamic system that may change throughout the year and from year to year in response to: • Students’ needs • Changes in student population • Changes in staffing
