Toppenish Middle School
We approach differentiated instruction as a collaborative conversation and process between both general education and special education teachers. Our Inclusion Specialists (Special education teachers) work with our general education teachers to identify the essential standards/targets within the core curriculum and discuss how the content is going to be delivered to students in the classroom. We have created collaborative tools that increase implementation fidelity that we use when looking at student programming, plans, and instruction.
