Let’s recognize the individuals making a difference in special education.
Explicit and Specially Designed Instruction:
A Special Education Instructional Practice Guide and Reflection Tool
This reflection tool is intended as a flexible guide to support the collection of meaningful data and to promote reflective conversations around instructional practices related to special education. It may be used by supervisors, administrators, peers, or as a self-reflection tool. This is not an evaluative instrument and is not intended to assess individual teacher performance.
1. The observer may focus on one, two, or all three sections of the tool, based on the purpose of the walk-through and context of the visit.
a. Safe and Accessible Environment
b. Functions and Elements of Explicit Instruction
c. Specially Designed Instruction
2. The sections do not need to be completed simultaneously. In fact, users may opt to focus solely on the "Safe and Accessible Environment" section if desired. This tool is designed for use in a variety of educational settings, including general education classrooms with co-teaching, resource rooms, self-contained classrooms, and small group intervention spaces. Observers are encouraged to select a range of classrooms where students with disabilities are served to gain diverse insights and inform instructional growth.
