WHY are “these kids” in my classroom?
* Students with Disabilities with few exceptions receive the highest quality of core instruction with typical peers
* Standards-based Individual Education Programs (IEP) are written to close gaps
* An IEP is developed to address the area(s) of deficit so that the academic gap is closed and students can access the general education environment and meet the academic standards that apply to all students
