Teach Effectively!

The US Office of Special Education Programs publishes a Web site that brings together some of the products that have been developed under its auspices. They call it the Tool Kit on Teaching and Assessing Students With Disabilities. There are materials covering a wide variety of topics. Some products are expressly aimed at parents, but others are appropriate for professionals.

The Department has developed a Tool Kit on Teaching and Assessing Students with Disabilities (Tool Kit), which offers a compilation of current information that will move states forward in improving results for all students with disabilities. The Tool Kit will be added to over time to include more information designed to support states’ efforts and to communicate the results of research on teaching, learning, and assessments.

The Tool Kit brings together the most current and accurate information, including research briefs and resources designed to improve instruction, assessment, and accountability for students with disabilities in a format that is easy to access and to understand. The Tool Kit will assist state personnel, schools, and families in their efforts to ensure that all students with disabilities receive a quality education.
