Like all learners, students with disabilities progress best when they actively participate in well-executed instructional programs informed by scientific research. Unfortunately, many with disabilities spend their school days in programs that are misinformed by a set of widely held beliefs about teaching and learning. Ten well-intentioned but misguided notions and reasons each notion is mistaken are identified. Suggestions for practitioners to counter these notions and the worst practices they encourage are offered.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand that special education should be individually planned, specialized, intensive, and goal-directed instruction. State two additional defining features of special education when it is practiced most effectively and ethically.
- Name 10 widely held notions about teaching and learning that impede the systematic use of research-based instructional practices and hinder the effectiveness of special education.
- Give a practical example of how each of the 10 notions might be operationalized in the classroom and state why each practice hinders optimal learning outcomes for students.
- Name eight instructional practices derived from the empirical research identified.
- State four reasons so many educators today subscribe to these faulty notions.
- State three recommended actions that can help teachers be less influenced by these faulty notions and more likely to use research-based practices and give a practical example of applying each recommendation.
