There is no one “right” strategy but most instructional strategies in special education have similar elements to other strategies. Every student is different which means that what might work for some will not work for others. However, with all strategies, we need to ensure we are providing students with enough practice and enough instructional loops to learn the targeted skill.
In this episode, I am sharing why there is no one size fits all instructional strategy in special education, what elements most instructional strategies have in common, and the importance of instructional loops in helping students learn. I would love to hear your thoughts on instructional loops and the myths addressed in this episode! Hop in the Facebook group and let’s discuss!
