Collaborate to Co-Teach: 2 Heads Are Better Than 1

Co-Teaching is becoming a more common occurrence in the schools as teachers and administrators understand the value of having to professionals share responsibility for instruction. Research tends to show that students with disabilities benefited from teachers working together to make the curriculum more accessible to all students.

Scheduling: Service Delivery for Students with Disabilities

On January 26, 2018, the State Board of Education approved the addition of the alternate academic diploma (AAD). This new diploma will count toward the district graduation rate and was implemented beginning in the 2018-2019 school year.

We will cover the requirements of the diploma and how they align to the academic coursework of students earning a regular diploma in order to ensure that all students are provided access to opportunities to learn and participate in rigorous, meaningful instruction. We will also cover how in order to meet the 22 credit requirements, students pursuing the alternate academic diploma (AAD) may be enrolled in their courses using the AAD course codes and taught according to the AAD course requirements.
