All students deserve a high-quality education that prepares them for future success. To enable this, all students with disabilities must have equitable access to the full rigor of grade-level instruction. Yet, many educators, especially those who serve a higher proportion of students with disabilities, do not receive the professional learning they need to ensure equitable access to high-quality curriculum and instruction. As a result, school leaders and teachers often inadvertently exacerbate persistent inequities, rather than drive equity, when delivering daily instruction. This presentation is designed to help school leaders and educators overcome barriers to equitable delivery of grade-level instruction through evidence-based strategies that support students with disabilities in general education.
