Advanced Search Call for Manuscripts for Teaching Children Mathematics October 2004 Focus Issue: Teaching Mathematics to Special Needs Students (July 14, 2003) Submission Information Call for Manuscripts for the October 2004 Focus Issue: Teaching Mathematics to Special Needs Students The October 2004 issue of Teaching Children Mathematics (TCM) will focus on teaching mathematics to special needs students. This focus topic reflects the recommendation in NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics that "all students should have access to an excellent and equitable mathematics program that provides solid support for their learning and is responsive to their prior knowledge, intellectual strengths, and personal interests" (p. 13). As many schools embrace the vision of inclusion, teachers are being called upon to adapt their methods to meet the special needs of a wide range of students. These needs may include, but are not limited to, students with learning, physical, emotional, or language challenges who require special attention in mathematics instruction, as well as students in gifted programs who need enriched mathematics instruction. By highlighting the challenges and rewards of teaching mathematics to special needs students, the Editorial Panel hopes to provide teachers and teacher educators with resources to assist them in their efforts to reach all students mathematically. We hope to share examples from instructional and research endeavors that identify both the challenges and the achievements of teaching mathematics to students with special needs. We also hope that this focus issue will sustain a dialogue within the mathematics education community about how to make the vision of

Inclusion Initiative, New York City The Inclusion Initiative (formerly called the Early Childhood Initiative) in New York City is an early childhood and elementary program that combines general education students and children with special needs in the same classroom. Funded by New Visions for Public Schools , the program emphasizes team teaching of special education and general education teachers, heterogeneous mixing of students, developmentally appropriate practice, authentic assessment, parent and family involvement in children's learning, and professional development. In addition to combining early childhood education and special education, some of the classrooms taking part in the initiative also are bilingual. The overall goal of the program, according to Rodriguez (1997), is "to create child-centered learning environments that encourage early school successes for all students and to eliminate tracking that occurs as children with diverse strengths and needs progress through the city school system" (p. 1). She adds that the program model includes "not only the full range of general education studentsfrom struggling to excelling studentsbut also students with a wide range of special education designationsfrom mild to severe" (p. 2). The special-needs students are fully integrated into the classroom with its challenging curriculum and high standards. In each classroom, the use of team teaching (a general education teacher and a special education teacher), a classroom assistant or paraprofessional, and smaller class size allows the teachers to provide individualized attention to each student.

Inclusion and The Project CHILD Link Problem Educators and policy makers have begun to advocate for inclusion of children with special needs, rather than pull-out programs, especially since research has shown that pull-out programs are not always effective (Osborne, 1992). However, simply including students with special needs in regular classrooms will not produce positive results due to the unique characteristics of these children. Project CHILD Solution Project CHILD is designed to accommodate children requiring extra support in the CHILD classrooms and offers strategies for successful inclusion. The Project CHILD Special Needs Inclusion Guide was written by experienced CHILD special education teachers who piloted a very successful inclusion model at their school in Perry, Florida. The Guide offers modified yet enriching station activities, station Task Cards, behavior management strategies, and a wealth of information and techniques for working with the students. The Project CHILD model provides a perfect fit for including students with special needs along with their more able peers. Here are some examples: Structured classroom environment. Students with special needs work best in a structured setting where the expectations and limits are clearly defined. At the same time, they learn best when actively involved. The CHILD learning station structure and Passport/Task Card management system provides the repetition of procedures so important for these students.

Eastern has no self-contained special education classrooms. However, regular education classes generally have no more than five students who are identified as learning disabled. The students with Individual Educational Plans receive special services through the Resource Center as well as through the regular classroom instruction.. The IEP, a legal document that outlines the strengths, the needs, and the appropriate accommodations and modifications to facilitate learning, mandates that the students must receive a specific number of hours of service, both direct and indirect, from a special educator. On a daily basis, the Resource Center is a "hub" of activity. Not only does it serve the specific needs of students with disabilities but it also accommodates the needs of every student enrolled at Eastern. Every Eastern student is also welcome to take tests, study, ask for clarification about a topic, or to use the Center's computers. The Resource Center is staffed with two special educators and one para-educator. The Resource Team provides support services to students and ongoing staff development and assistance to classroom teachers.

(District 75, services students with moderate to severe disabilities in New York Citys five boroughs.) Having a variety of strengths and areas of concern, three students were fully included in general classes and eight received the support of one study period per day; all received full or part time paraprofessional assistance in their general education classes and the help of the special education teacher during study and/or as needed. District 75 provided paraprofessionals with individualized support and weekly group meetings for training in observation, strategies and adaptations. The role of the inclusion paraprofessionals was many-faceted: they encouraged all learners in the class, adapted class work to inclusion students needs, and monitored the process-oriented goals of each inclusion students Individual Education Program (IEP) .
