Eric.ed.gov – Promoting Interface and Knowledge Sharing: A Joint Project between General and Special Education Preservice Teachers

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: This article reports the findings of a joint unit plan critique project between two preservice teacher cohorts seeking teacher certification in general education and special education respectively. The paper addressed three questions: 1) What common affordances does this joint project have for the general and special education preservice teachers? 2) What unique affordances does it have for each of the groups? 3) What do the preservice teachers learn about the use of visuals, technology, and UDL principles to create accessible math lessons for all students? The results showed that the project impacted positively on the preservice teachers by allowing them to gain deeper understanding of professional collaboration and use of technology and visual resources to differentiate instruction for all students.

Eric.ed.gov – Vital Signs: Virginia

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Virginia cannot find the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) talent they need to stay competitive. Students’ lagging performance in K-12 is a critical reason why. The good news is that the nation’s most effective STEM education programs can help turn the tide. Virginia students have already made progress in math over the past decade, yet large racial and ethnic achievement gaps persist. Not enough students in the state get the chance to learn challenging content that prepares them for college and careers. Students of color are least likely to have the least access to schools with science facilities or teachers with strong backgrounds in math and science. Link til kilde
