About

My focus here is to share thoughts, commentary, practices and new strategies/research in supporting special education students in the general education classroom, as well as preparing students for high-stakes assessments. My hope is to provide a way to consolidate the variety and multitude of resources and information circulating the web on supporting students with special needs in regular classroom settings. The resources I one can find here wil include blogs, podcasts, online videos (YouTube), and other web instructional commentary boards. I am looking to address the problems I have encountered as I have scoured the web looking for information and resources to assist me in developing instructional materials and methods to use in small instructional groups, as well as in the large classroom.  I have found it incredibly difficult to maintain and continually return to specific websites to check on recent updates and user commentary because there are just so many for me to weed through during my personal time.   I want to provide a space where anyone is able to reflect upon various ideologies and practices that can be implemented by any educator, parent, support staff, or interested individual in teaching low achieving kids and students with special needs.  I want to create an environment that connects research, practice and theory.
