Learning Outcomes
Define specially designed instruction (SDI) and explainhow it directly relates to co-teaching.
Analyze examples of SDI and learn to integrate them inyour instruction.
Create a realistic system for documenting that SDI isbeing delivered to students with disabilities in co-taught classes.

Special Education 101:Three Components to Services
1. Special education = SDI
2. Related services
3. Supplementary aids and services
Characteristics of SDITailored to assessed student PLOP (must
be individual) and addresses disabilityarea/IEP goals
Changes in content, methodology, ordelivery of instruction (direct and explicit)
Systematic, carefully planned, monitored
Goal is curriculum access
Requires SET skills

SDI Possible Domains
Academic
Organizational
Behavioral
Social
Emotional
Communicative
Functional
Physical/motor
Sensory
Vocational
Technological
Types of SDI (Examples)
Packages or comprehensive programs (e.g., Wilsonreading)
Instructional techniques or strategies (e.g., learningstrategies; VAKT for instruction)
Integrated practices (e.g., pauses during instruction;clear task analysis; telegraphic directions)
Increased instructional intensity (e.g., more practice,more steps, more review)
SDI ExamplesA Few Out of Thousands

Teaching Writing Using Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD)
SRSD Elements
Self-monitoring
Self-evaluation
Self-instruction
STRATEGY: POW-TREEP Pick my ideaO Organize my notes using TREE
Topic Sentence (Tell what Ibelieve)
Reasons (Three or more)Examples (Why do I believe
this? Will my readersbelieve this?)
Ending (Wrap it up right!)W Write and say more

Summary of Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD)
GeneralizationApplication of a skill beyond the original instruction
Generalization is not automatic, especially for students withdisabilities
For students with disabilities, common applications areAcross peopleAcross settingsAcross behaviors
Generalization should be taught on key skills

Mistake #2We don’t routinely integrate SDI into general instruction in co‐taught classes.

Co-Teaching: The Big Picture
EFFECTIVECO‐TEACHING
Professional Roles
Co‐Teaching Approaches
Instruction(Differentiated
and SDI)
Supportive Context
The Six Approaches
1 teach, 1 observe
station teaching
parallel teaching
alternative teaching
Teaming
1 teach, one assist
SDI in Alternative TeachingGeometry Topic: Properties of quadrilateralsMost students doing a review over concepts recently coveredSmall group using manipulatives (plastic snap-together strips),
doing similar review and making a foldable (opposite sides,opposite angles, adjacent angles, etc.) (approx. 12 minutes)
Include 1-2 popular students in small groupWhole group back together: Students use foldable
quietly; they participate fully in the discussion

SDI in Basic Station TeachingStation 1: GET is completing the day’s reading mini-lesson
Station 2: a) SET is working with students on root words andprefixes and suffixes
b) SET is working with students on fluency andcomprehension
Station 3: Students read independently using books at aninstructional level

SDI in Parallel TeachingScience Topic: Is the water in our river clean enough to
make it safe for activities such as tubing?
GET: Works with half the class with primary sources and other materials related to water quality, water safety,environmental impact, etc. Poses key questions andfacilitates students exploring the topic to find answers.
SET: Works with half the class with the same goal, but thegroup is directly guided in their study, one step at a time,with appropriately coaching and embedded review ofproblem solving skills.

Mistake #3We lack evidence to demonstrate the implementation of SDI and its effectiveness.

SDI in Co-Teaching:Documenting and Data
Macro-planning should include discussion of goalsrelated to unit, appropriate SDI, and ways toincorporate it
GET plans general lesson; SET plans SDI andannotates general lesson
Role reciprocity is routine practiceData discussion and data collection plans are part of
planning

How Do I Know It’s Specially Designed Instruction?1. The instruction is explicitly designed to meet one of the goals and/or objectives on the student’s IEP (and based on the present
level of performance)
2. The instruction enables the student to learn despite his/her characteristics as a person with a disability (e.g., slow language processing, problems related to executive function)
3. Data were used as the basis for deciding on the instruction and also are used to determine the instruction’s effectiveness
4. The instruction has a valid research or another evidence base
5. The instruction is systematic; it is planned, delivered over time as appropriate, documented, and evaluated for effectiveness.
6. The instruction requires that a teacher leads delivery, in contrast to simply providing a support to the student; the latter most often is considered accommodation (e.g., providing a story starter for a student instead of teaching the student an acronym-based strategy for how to generate ideas for stories)
7. The instruction is needed by the student with the disability, but generally is not needed by all the students in the class
8. Unless a student has a significant intellectual disability, the instruction does not lower the grade level standards but insteadaddresses the learning or other deficits that are preventing the student from reaching the standard
9. Depending on the needs of the student with a disability, the instruction may address any domain (i.e., not just academics), including behavior, social skills, communication skills, vocational skills, and others
10.Generalization and maintenance usually are part of instructional delivery.
