Universal Education

Filed Under Special Education

“Many districts around the state of Ohio have struggled to reach high levels of proficiency Student proudly holds a paper graded a-plus.among students with disabilities, but a small percentage achieved steady improvement between 2004 and 2008. The Universal Education Project was designed to identify district-level strategies and practices among these schools that led to consistent improvement in math and reading proficiency test scores for students with identified disabilities. Because every district participating in this study described the importance of breaking down barriers between special and regular education, this report is titled Universal Education in an effort to unify two previously separate cultures into a single, high-impact education for all students.”

This brief article identifies major findings and some key practices regarding increased achievement for students with disabilities, and closing the academic achievement gap that typically exists between students with disabilities and their non-disabled peers.

The Region 14 State Support Team will be developing and conducting professional development in our region (Adams, Brown, Clinton, Fayette and Highland Counties in Ohio) regarding the major findings and key practices identified in this report

Congratulations to Bright Local Schools and Superintendent Dee Wright for being identified as a model district for this report!
