Inside USBE > Departments and Programs > Special Education Services > Programs > Effective Instruction and Inclusion
Effective instructional practices and inclusive teaching include intentionally and purposely creating, designing, and developing learning opportunities that ensure all students, regardless of their background, skill, or developmental level, are taken into consideration, and a student-centered learning environment is created. Educators need to have a rich and adaptable understanding of content, use various instructional strategies, and personalize instruction to meet each student’s needs. Creating an inclusive classroom focuses on establishing a teaching and learning environment that considers all forms of individual and group characteristics.
Co-teaching is the instructional arrangement in which a general education teacher and a special education teacher deliver core instruction along with specialized instruction, as needed, to a diverse group of students in a single physical space. Co-teaching partnerships require educators to make joint instructional decisions and share responsibility and accountability for student learning.
