Special Education Solutions in the Age of NCLB
Fortunately, there are quality instructional tools in the market that are used in differentiated instruction situations to assess reading weaknesses and target specific strategy instruction for students. These types of programs can help students reinforce their reading strategies while improving their comprehension. They also allow teachers to target specific skills, as well as help teachers quickly build instruction for their students' needs.
What I find interesting in this age of NCLB is that mainstream teachers are adopting special education approaches for teaching to students' areas of weakness, while special education teachers struggle with helping their students succeed on standardized tests given to mainstream students. While the individualized approach is helping mainstream students succeed, there have not been solutions that special education teachers can adopt in helping with the issues surrounding standardized testing.
