2018 Utah Rural Schools Conference

We are co-teachers in the rural Box Elder School District, at Bear River Middle School. My co-teacher and I will be sharing strategies to differentiate curriculum to meet the needs of all students; those ranging from struggling learners and IEP/504 accommodated to honors. We will demonstrate how to extend learning opportunities for students who have mastered the curriculum while meeting the challenge of those who are struggling. We have spent years perfecting our co-teaching model, which consists of a classroom dynamic: 1/3 struggling learners, 1/3 general education students, and 1/3 honors students; we intend to share data that supports the success of this model and demonstrates how effective this model is for students at all academic levels.
