Supporting Students Who Learn Differently

For students who learn differently, including those whose needs rise to the level of receiving special education services, the pandemic has brought additional and varied challenges that many of their peers don't experience. Parents of students who have an Individualized Educational Program (or other additional education support) say they are twice as likely as their peers to be doing little or no remote learning and are at risk of falling behind on important life skills as well as academics. How must teaching and leading change to connect with students in a COVID-19 world? In partnership with Understood, this issue explores ideas for making classrooms—in person and remote—more accommodating to all students.
