Lindsay Ruhter; Thai Williams; Meagan Karvonen; Sarah Koebley; Shawnee Wakeman; David Pugalee – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2025
Many teachers have a level of discomfort with planning inquiry-based science lessons for students with complex needs. Science instruction typically includes teaching discrete skills with a focus on vocabulary acquisition (Knight et al., 2020). Because science is universal and thus important for all learners, many states have adopted the Next…
