NFL refs up to their antics again
pulling TDs off the board for questionable calls
Interestingly, in many districts we wait until kids are labeled intervention /sped before they can get access to this type of instruction (scripted DI).
If kids need to go back to “basics w/learning,” we need to go back to basics w/teaching. It’s not working, maybe we’ve lost the privilege to “be creative.”
1- stop inquiry/PBL; 2- adopt HQIM; 3-intervention/sped gets more of the program/review instead of something different

When those scripts worked, gen ed often wanted to use the programs, but then typically the sped department would say well then what are we gonna use?, Further perpetrating the myth that sped always needs something completely different /3

As sped teacher e.g., I’d teach 4th graders & often found the math strategies taught to them amongst several teachers were very different, and generally, I found myself “correcting/“cleaning up” the instruction with what they should’ve had in the first place - often DI/scripts /2

The mindset emerged at some point that there will be student variability &tchrs need to differentiate when in reality we need less variability (i.e. students move forward with same skills & taught same strategies). But of course, this is unpopular and tchrs feel like clones /1
