This presentation will describe a comprehensive approach for academic intervention using coteaching as a high-leverage strategy to enable special education students to achieve success on accountability measures. Across all schools and levels, as more students were served in these classrooms, student achievement on state assessments improved. Qualitative measures included student portfolio assessment, student enrollment in upper-level classes in grades 10—12, and ongoing reflections of students and teachers who participated in the classes. A focus on teacher-student relationships, pedagogy, and engaging instructional practices created dynamic classrooms where all students could flourish.
