Evidence for Education: Effective Mathematics Instruction

Series:NICHCY Evidence for Education, Volume 3
Author:
Steedly, Kathlyn; Dragoo, Kyrie; Arafeh, Sousan; Luke, Stephen
Publication Date:2008
Abstract:
NICHCY's online Evidence for Education explores evidence-based educational practices. Each issue includes an easy-to-read review of educational research relating to specific academic or behavioral interventions, practical examples of the module topic, and connections to more detailed resources to assist in moving the research into practice.
The Effective Mathematics Instruction issue addresses the questions:
1) what do students need to know how to do, mathematically?
2) what instructional approaches are effective in teaching those skills? and,
3) what do we do when disability affects a student's ability to learn math skills?

Online Survey on Instructional Strategies for English Language Learners with Disabilities

Series:NCEO ELLs with Disabilities Report 13
Author:
Albus, Deb; Shyyan, Vitaliy; Thurlow, Martha L.
Publication Date:2006
Abstract:
The current study, an online survey about instructional strategies for ELLs with disabilities, was designed to build on the findings of a previous study about educator perceptions of instructional strategies. Although the current study did not use consensus building methods, it was similarly designed to obtain educators’ perspectives about instructional strategies for reading, mathematics, and science. This survey, in contrast to the previous study, included a broader range than only middle school level educators. Because of the study design, participation was opened to any educator of ELLs with disabilities in reading, mathematics, and science across special education, ESL/bilingual education, and general education settings. It is one study of a project designed to identify and test effective instructional strategies for ELLs with disabilities.
