Observing Special Education Toolkit
This toolkit, developed based on research conducted through an Institute of Education Sciences grant, introduces five evidence-based instructional practices for students with disabilities. The toolkit defines each practice and provides excerpts of teaching demonstrating the practice. The toolkit also includes a pre-observation conference guide, an observation guide, and a research library.
Foundations in Emergent Literacy Instruction
Children start building their vocabulary very early in life. Vocabulary is more than the words a child knows; it is how they communicate. Students communicate by listening, reading, writing, and speaking, and students with large vocabularies are more successful readers and writers. This one-page document gives additional information on effective instructional practices for teaching vocabulary.
