Atanga, Comfort; Jones, Beth A.; Krueger, Lacy E.; Lu, Shulan – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2020
Assistive technology (AT) helps bridge the gap between students with learning disabilities (LD) and their peers without LD. However, this implies a need for teachers to become well-trained and proficient in the use of AT. There are established AT competencies for educators, and AT services professionals must be knowledgeable about AT to select and…

Shi, Hui; Cheung, Elizabeth S. T.; Cheung, Alan C. K. – Science Insights Education Frontiers, 2020
Stratified teaching is an effective method and means to implement teaching students per their aptitude. Domestic and foreign scholars have carried out many experimental and quasiexperimental studies to observe the impact of stratified teaching on students' academic performance, but the results are quite different. So, can stratified teaching…
