If you are a university faculty member, you will find in each section of this site useful information that can be an addition to your classes on the topic of providing access to the general education curriculum to students with disabilities. This material might be included in courses on The Exceptional Child in the General Education Classroom , Instructional Methods , or Collaboration and Inclusive Education. It is organized into short modules and activities that allow great flexibility in how you use it. Think of this site as a virtual lending library, where you get to check out the material whenever you want and for as long as you want. Each focus area (shown to your left on the screen) has numerous modules composed of four components. The Teacher Tools are easy to use information on how to implement many instructional strategies, as well as resource materials and links. The Case Studies provide opportunities to see how teachers apply the different instructional strategies. They reflect considerations and problems typical teachers face, as well as commentary from experts, novice and experienced teachers, and the perspectives of students, parents and others. The Resource section provides an annotated bibliography of the literature on the topic in a searchable data-base, as well as PowerPoint presentations and other reference materials. Finally, the On-line Collaboration section provides technical assistance and examples on how to create your own on-line collaboration opportunities. |
