Teacher Preparation—Making the Link Between Special Education and General Education
The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) confirm that teachers need to be prepared and supported to meet the needs of all learners, both learners with disabilities and their nondisabled peers. In an effort to provide information to those who prepare and support teachers, National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality offers the National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality Connection. This new resource, targeted to teacher preparation programs, provides the most up-to-date strategies and research-based practice and policy on how this goal might be achieved.
Special Education Resources
Below is a list of five resource areas that link to information that could guide decision making on how to best prepare and support teachers as they work to create and extend learning opportunities for all students.
- Assessment Resources
- Classroom Management/Behavior Resources
- Inclusive Practices Resources
- Instructional Strategies Resources
- Reading/Literacy Resources
