This professional partnership involves general and special educators sharing responsibility for planning, instruction, and assessment in the same classroom.
What is co-teaching?
This instructional approach involves modifying content, process, or product to meet diverse student needs.
What is differentiated instruction?
This type of instruction involves clear modeling, guided practice, independent practice, and feedback.
What is explicit instruction?
This approach emphasizes teaching and reinforcing expected behaviors rather than focusing solely on punishment.
What is Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)?
This mindset recognizes that inequities in schools are not accidental but are rooted in systems and structures.
What is systemic racism?
This co-teaching model involves one teacher leading instruction while the other circulates to support students
What is One Teach-One Assist?
These are changes made to how a student learns material without altering the academic expectations.
What are accommodations?
This evidence-based practice includes teacher modeling followed by students practicing together before working independently.
What is Gradual Release of Responsibility?
These are clearly defined and explicitly taught behavioral expectations for all students.
What are classroom rules or behavioral expectations?
This concept challenges educators to reflect on how their own identity, bias, and lived experiences influence instructional decisions.
What is educator self-awareness (or critical self-reflection)?
This co-teaching approach divides students into groups and rotates them between teachers and/or stations.
What is Station Teaching?
These involve changes to what a student is expected to learn or demonstrate.
What are modifications?
This instructional practice increases opportunities for students to respond during lessons to improve engagement and learning.
What are opportunities to respond (OTR)?
This tier of PBIS provides targeted supports for students at risk of behavioral difficulties.
What is Tier 2 support?
This UDL principle emphasizes providing multiple ways for students to access information and content.
What is multiple means of representation?
This is a structured process for resolving disagreements among team members using respectful communication and shared problem-solving.
What is conflict resolution in collaboration?
This framework promotes providing multiple means of engagement, representation, and action/expression.
What is Universal Design for Learning (UDL)?
This strategy uses prompts and systematic removal of support to teach new skills.
What is scaffolding?
This assessment process identifies the function or purpose of a student’s challenging behavior.
What is a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA)?
This idea centers on building learning environments that affirm student identity rather than requiring assimilation into dominant norms.
What is identity affirming instruction?
In this scenario, two teachers split the class in half and teach the same lesson simultaneously to smaller groups to increase engagement and participation.
What is Parallel Teaching
A teacher allows students to demonstrate understanding of a novel through a written report, video presentation, or illustrated storyboard. This is an example of differentiating by:
What is product?
A teacher provides immediate corrective feedback after a student makes an error and then asks the student to try again. This is an example of:
What is error correction with feedback?
Answer:
A student disrupts class to avoid difficult work. The teacher modifies instruction and teaches coping strategies. This intervention addresses the behavior’s:
What is function?
This term describes the harm that occurs when students consistently receive messages—explicit or implicit—that their culture, language, or identity is inferior.
What is identity-based marginalization (or internalized oppression)?
