====__Topic:__ Integrating students with disabilities into the general education classroom. Teachers are experts in how to measure achievement through the employment of diverse teaching tools, techniques, and methodologies to optimize learning experiences for students representing the full range of academic skill and achievement as well as broad socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. Of course, many may not have experience teaching, or including into their classroom students with disabilities on a regular basis. With recent federal laws and regulations, these students are more frequently receiving educational services with their peers. __Population:__ General education teachers K-5 __Outcomes: __At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will: ·Understand the inclusion process. ·Know how to interpret eligibility categories included in an IEP to serve students with disabilities in their classroom. ·Learn and become familiar with the unique needs of this population to develop and create appropriate strategies to use with instruction. ==== ====__Gap: __Teachers should be familiar with the concept of differentiation and how to plan and develop lessons to meet the needs of their students. According to recent federal and state laws regulating free and appropriate public education for all students, providing education for students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment is protected by law and determined by the individual education plan committee. General eduction teachers are aware of students with disabilities attending their school, but they may not be familiar with the various eligibility categories as well as specifics related to strategies and interventions to use with these students. ====
