Special Education: Increasing Access, Elevating Success
Inclusive Education That Empowers Every Learner
Special education ensures that all students, have access to meaningful learning experiences that support their unique needs. Through tailored instruction, inclusive practices, and targeted resources, JHoneyMath flips the script for students with unique learning needs. We remove barriers, build confidence, and deliver academic success.
The Power of Inclusive Education
-
Increases Student Access – Ensures that every student has the opportunity to engage in meaningful grade level content while using just-in-time supports.
-
Supports Individual Growth – Tailors instruction to student strengths, providing targeted interventions and accommodations.
-
Fosters a Culture of Belonging – Creates inclusive learning environments where students feel valued, confident, and capable.
Best Practices for Special Education Implementation
1. Strength-Based IEPs – Shift IEP conversations to a more asset-based approach by highlighting student assets and focusing on learning (vs performing).
2. Differentiated Instruction – Adapt lessons to support diverse learning styles and needs.
3. Inclusive Classroom Practices – Integrate accommodations and modifications seamlessly into general education settings.
4. Equitable Access to Resources – Provide specialized support that enhances student independence and achievement.
5. Progress Monitoring – Use our resources to capture informal assessments during instruction to seamlessly incorporate into a progress monitoring tool that provides a more complete picture of what students know and where they are going (vs a snapshot assessment in time).
6. Collaboration – Design collaboration that is energizing and effective for co-teachers and teams.
