Math Accessibility Strategies in Action: A Multimedia Professional Development Program for Middle—Grades Teachers

EDC will create professional development modules to help middle-grades teachers improve accessibility to the general mathematics curriculum for students with mild to moderate disabilities. At the center of each module will be a DVD that shows classroom footage of accessibility strategies in action. In addition to the videotape, each module will include a facilitator’s guide with professional development activities, handouts, PowerPoint slides, and other resources. The stand-alone modules will be designed so that staff developers can use them to lead professional development sessions for middle school math teachers and special educators.
