Effective Practices for Students with Significant Cognitive Disabilities
IEPs and Instruction




Students with significant cognitive disabilities have needs that vary greatly from a traditional classroom in instruction, assessments, schedules, and classroom arrangement because of the emphasis on customizing learning for each individual.  

This course highlights best practices to facilitate learning for students with the most complex needs using the Texas SPED Support Rubric of Effective Practices.  Attendees will engage in reflection of their current practices and plan for program growth.  The rubric also has an administrator companion guide connecting to T-TESS dimensions which provides "look -fors" when evaluating teachers of students with complex needs.


Important Session Information:


This training will explore the Individualized Education Program (IEP) and instruction.  Attendees will review how input from students and families provide information to guide instruction and discover how to identify prerequisite access points to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) to adapt instruction.  We will also discuss the benefits of teacher collaboration for the instruction of students with disabilities through planning meetings, flexible lesson planning, materials and resources and instructional supports.
