Nine Strategies for Helping Middle School Students Weather the Perfect Storm of Disability, Diversity, and Adolescence
O'Keeffe, Suzanne B.; Medina, Catherine M.
American Secondary Education, v44 n3 p72-87 Sum 2016
This article examines instructional strategies that middle school educators can use in inclusive settings in order to support the unique needs of culturally and linguistically diverse exceptional (CLDE) students. These nine strategies are appropriate for both typical and atypical learners in a whole group setting, but they are particularly useful for helping adolescent students meet the challenges associated with diversity and disability in an environment that is generally geared toward their White, typically developing peers.
