Best Practice Pedagogy

Baseline & Questions...

I believe in inclusion and differentiation which our school models.  I  believes  all students are  need to be involved in the conversation.   Small group instruction, mini-lessons and conferencing with students is how I feel I can best meet each students needs.  It is important to me not to widen the learning gap between special ed. & regular ed. students.

How do special ed. students feel in a pull- out program?
How involved can differentiation be in a classroom?
Is a basal reading program as effective is pushing students to the next level as a reading workshop approach?  

SMART Goal
By Jan. 2010 I will have implemented the best practice of students writing before and after reading to increase their understanding of what they have read.
