Let me be more explicit. I'm not referring to cognitively
disabled students, nor emotionally disturbed students, nor multi-
handicapped students. I am referring to those students with one
or more areas identified in their IEP---written expression,
reading comprehension, organizational skills---that identifies
them with a severe learning disability. These students would be
in inclusion classes with or without a SLD tutor or intervention
specialist with them in the regular classroom. These students
will be expected to perform at levels of performance on state
tests comparable to regular ed students (although certain
accommodations would be permitted---a reader, extended time, a
scribe, etc.).
Now, hopefully I've made myself a clear as possible. Does
anyone have strategies that have proven successful in getting a
significant percentage (greater than half) of your SLD students
to pass a state mandated social studies achievement test
(preferably in grades 5-9)?
