District leaders are under increasing pressure to support the individual needs of students with disabilities, who comprise approximately 15% of national public school enrollment.
One way to help students with special needs is by providing a digital learning environment. A study* revealed that online learning has provided this population with added flexibility and convenience to manage and absorb information at their own pace, along with individualized learning opportunities that address their specific challenges.
In this podcast, a digital learning expert with experience developing online, blended, and hybrid programs for special and gifted education students will provide school and district administrators with best practices to support students with special education needs in the digital learning environment.
These insights include:
- Tips to shift instructors’ perspectives from teaching special education in a brick-and-mortar school to the digital learning environment
- Strategies that will empower your teachers to focus on individual student needs
- How administrators can ensure instructional staff are prepared to teach students with special education needs in an online or blended learning environment
- Best practices for structuring special education teams and staff in a digital environment
