MEETING THE CHALLENGES |
| |
For years I have embraced
the challenge of teaching in diverse classrooms, with students
who need creative and varied instructional strategies. While I
have developed and utilized many techniques, the most effective
method I have ever found for meeting these needs has been through
collaborating with other educators. Brainstorming, book
discussions, co-teaching, observing each other and learning
together have all been collaborative efforts that have enriched
my teaching and increased my student's learning. Through my
work I try to share these powerful approaches and ideas to help
teachers and students reach the high standards we hold for
them. |

What exactly is
effective instruction? How do two or more teachers work together
successfully in an inclusive classroom? As an educator who prides
herself on being practical and realistic, I went looking for
these answers in the literature and in schools. I began to try
different approaches; saving the ideas that worked easily and
effectively and filing the ones that did not. I then began
talking to and visiting with educators from around the country to
learn about their best strategies. Finally, I tried them for
myself to make sure they worked! |
