Special Needs

How do we enable our Special Needs faculty to become high quality math teachers of this important and growing student population?”

“How do we ensure our children with Special Needs meet Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) state targets?”

“How do we teach math in a way that enables critical thinking and promotes general problem solving skills?

 

iRi works with districts that are serious about attaining dramatic improvement in the math performance of students with Special Needs. Programs are best suited for Special Needs-dedicated educators as well as classroom teachers who have children with Special Needs in their mainstreamed classroom.

Special Needs Mathematics

Professional Learning

iRi’s four mathematics professional learning modules for Special Needs instruction are designed to help districts boost significant and enduring math achievement for this growing population. All programs adhere to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics standards by grade level.

Key components of each program include:

  • 14 hours on-site study for Special Needs instructors or a select group of your educators whom you would like certified as in-house trainers to then directly coach your teachers internally
  • iRi’s unique application of Feuerstein’s cognitive approach to teaching mathematics
  • Differentiated instructional strategies for classrooms with mainstreamed Special Needs students or for individualized math support in resource rooms
  • Post-coursework coaching and evaluation of student progress
