Why ESEA& IDEA, required by law

ESEA “Teachers must use only research-based teaching methods and the schools must reject unproven fads”IDEA when students are reported as having interim failure, teachers MUST document the intervention that has been put into place to remediate failure! Student Improvement has been noted when the teacher-to-student ratio is reduced and when engagement is increased!

Station teaching provides co-teachers with both time and a method to successfully instruct smaller groups of students in the use of tools and content in any subject area, but is particularly well suited to mathematics and science where discrete skills and deeper holistic processing/critically thinking of content are both needed.

Station Teaching

Friend & Cook, 2003

Traditional Station Teaching

Moorehead & Grillo, 2013 TEC STEM Issue

Common Core

“Encourages teachers to focus on skills such as higher order thinking, deep knowledge, substantive conversations, and connections outside the classroom. Station teaching provides a convenient opportunity for co-teachers to design lessons to promote the skills necessary to successfully access the Common Core State Standards” p. 51

Universal Design for Learning

At the heart of UDL is the use of technology that allows for learning environments to be individualized and motivating because of the high interest technology lends to 21st century learners.

Hall, Strangman, & Meyer, 2003

Technology is the

for students. It's something they want to master. Learning to use it enhances their self-esteem and makes them excited about coming to school.
