Advancing teacher candidates’ overall competence through use of valid observation systems should be an essential element preparation. Yet, the field special education has not provided protocols designed specifically for preservice teachers that are founded in theoretical perspectives and research on effective instruction students with learning other high-incidence disabilities (SWDs). To address this need, a group researchers preparation measurement developed Preservice Observation...

Intensive academic interventions help address the learning difficulties of students with specific disabilities (SLDs). Challenging behaviors exhibited during instruction can have a negative impact on overall effectiveness an intervention. In addition to interventions, SLD may benefit from behavioral interventions. One method for evaluating effect that target improved outcomes is single-case research design (SCRD). This article provides overview critical features SCRD studies or teachers SLD....
The use of online literacy applications is proliferating in elementary classrooms. Using data generated by these assumed to be helpful for teachers identify struggling readers.
