Ever find yourself wondering how to encourage your students with IEPs to confidently engage with their peers in discussion? Our session is focused on creating environments and scaffolds that will support learners of various strengths and weaknesses as they learn how to engage with and explore texts within partners and groups. In particular, we'll be giving you tools that can help you create partnerships of mixed ability levels. Come see us if you want to see how structures like think-pair-share and speed dating can be adapted to collaborative learning classrooms.
