Delivery of Instruction in Special Education Classrooms
Whole Group Instruction
- Used for teaching new concepts to students
- Also used when assistants need to take breaks and there is only one assistant in the room
- Allows the group to focus on the instruction completely
Small Group Instruction
- Ideal for working with related service members and 2-3 students at a time
- Allows the teacher to work with other students in the classroom simultaneously
- Can be used for reteaching skills or targeting specific skills with students who need more practice
Individual or 1:1 Sessions
- Used for working on IEP goals and giving individual attention to students
- Used for teaching life skills such as tying shoes, zippering coats, and brushing teeth
- Allows the teacher to focus solely on the student and support them through task completion
Stations or Centers
- Opportunities for assistants to support students
- Promotes independence in working skills and confidence in completing tasks with less supervision
- Can be used for taking IEP goal data and guiding activities
Independent Work
