Instructional Materials The instructional materials include
textbooks, manipulates and models, and technology help in accommodating students with special needs in a classroom (Friend & Bursuck, 2005)
The tasks for teachers including daily review, statement of objective,
presentation of information, guided practice, independent practice, and formative evaluation.
Model lessons are based on careful consideration of objectives, scope and sequence of instruction, pacing, curriculum materials, and types and levels of learning expected for successful achievement of all students

(Mastropieri & Scruggs, 2004).
Instructional Methods Various instructional methods are
suggested to use, such as direct and indirect instruction, scaffolding, independent student practice, and assessment (Friend & Bursuck, 2005).
To promote better learning with proper instructional methods, different stages are considered: awareness knowledge simulation practice incorporation (Vaughn, Bos, & Schumm, 2007)
Assessment All assessments must be dependable and valid to be
valuable Standardization model Modifications may enhance test validity without
compromising standardization, such as teaching test-taking skills, improving motivation, and improving examiner familiarity
Suggested types of assessments Competency-based and statewide testing Teacher-made test Curriculum-based assessment Performance test Portfolio assessment
Explicit instruction Modifications can be made in evaluating and scoring the
work of students with special needs. These modifications can be practiced on report card grades, homework, and seatwork (Mastropieri & Scruggs, 2004).

Parents as Partners
Involving Parents
There are six key reasons to involve parents in embracing social relationships (adapted from Porter 2000, p.280):
They have the most important and enduring relationship with their child
Children learn more from home environment Parent involvement assist development of their child’s
attitude to learning Parents make a valuable contribution to school Accountability is more open when parents are involved Parents are involved in the planning of educational goals,
through IEP or Individual Family Service Agreement (IFSA) meetings (Conway et al.2004 & Kemp 2003 in Loreman 2008).
Strategies for involving parents
This can be achieved through (Mitchem, 2005):
Parents-teachers meeting Brief notes home to parents
(communication book-Wolfe and Bollig, 2003)
Encouraging parents to visit the class Brief phone calls to parents to report good
news (Conveying good as well as bad news )
The Stars of Tomorrow can be in our classrooms
