Teaching+Science+in+an+Inclusive+Setting

The article by Salend (1998) called //Using an activity based approach to teach science to students with disabilities discusses strategies for teaching science to students with disabilities in mainstream classrooms. The strategies in the article are useful because they provide a great range of methods that can be used to teach science in an inclusive classroom. Some of the methods include://
 * Strategies for Teaching Science in an Inclusive Setting**
 * using an activities based approach,
 * relating Science to students lives and
 * organizing instruction about the "big ideas"

Salend, S.J. (1998). Using an activity based approach to teach science to students with disabilities. //Intervention in School and Clinic, 34,//67-72.

In the video //Working Together: Science Teachers and Students with Disabilities// (University of Washington 1998) students with different disabilities suggest teaching techniques that can be used by teachers in the classroom. This resource is useful because it shares the perspectives of the students and provides examples of how teachers can adjust the work in a mainstream classroom. The techniques that the students mention can also be used by teachers of other disciplines.
