Collaborating with Students in
Participants explore ways in which students can collaborate with adults to meet the needs of a diverse student body. Topics include:
- Students as instructors in cooperative group learning, partner learning, and co-teaching arrangements
- Students as advocates for themselves and others by developing accommodations and modifications for themselves and others, acting as peer mediators, and serving on IEP and transition planning teams
- Students as active decision makers who establish classroom and school rules, provide feedback to teachers and administrators, and serve on school committees such as the school board.
Length: 1 1/2 to 3 hours
