During the month of June, 1996 we brought a group of Nebraska teachers together to develop a series of teaching strategies for diverse learners. This strategies are intended to be a tool to help the classroom teacher use the K-12 Social Studies Framework in their classroom for ALL of their students.
These strategies were written for the student with diverse
learning needs. We are using this term because we will be considering
the special education student and the gifted student. This process is
the beginning of an exciting process that will be a very positive
addition to the Nebraska K-12 Social Studies Framework.
The completed resource can be viewed, printed and/or downloaded by selecting the following link. "Teaching Strategies for Students with Diverse Learning Needs"
