This includes participation in the identification of students with special needs, instruction in a special education/resource room with curriculum parallel to that of general education but with the increased pacing and methodology flexibility, as well as consultation/collaboration in the regular classroom. Our focus continues to be the provision of adaptations, modifications, or enhancement of materials, teachins methodology, and environment that will enable students to most benefit from their educational experience.
