Paraeducators are increasingly tasked with delivering early literacy instruction to students with disabilities in elementary schools. This review synthesized findings from 19 studies that examined paraeducator-implemented early literacy instruction and reported the included studies’ descriptive characteristics, methodological quality, and treatment outcomes. Studies were rated for methodological quality using the Council for Exceptional Children’s quality indicators. This systematic review was the first to describe paraeducator-implemented early literacy instruction in elementary school settings across single-case research designs and between-group research designs and the first to apply a set of quality indicators to rate study quality. The synthesized evidence suggests that, with the appropriate training and supervision, paraeducators were able to facilitate student acquisition in phonological knowledge, word reading, fluency, comprehension, and spelling domains. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Growing numbers of students with intellectual disability (ID) have gained access to universities and colleges through the development of inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) programs. Despite having physical access to college and university campuses and even classroom spaces, navigating access to actual course content remains a challenge for many students and their instructors. Using semi-structured interviews with 10 students with ID at an IPSE program in the northeastern United States, this qualitative study was conducted to examine students’ experiences accessing course content in university courses. We highlight factors that students identified as significant contributors to their ability to access course content and experience success in the courses they took. Findings reveal that the students attribute a positive or negative course experience to course instructors’ relatability and ability to make course content accessible. Students discussed their desire to be viewed as fully matriculated students while receiving support. Implications for practice are provided.
通过发展全纳中学后教育（IPSE）项目，越来越多的智障（ID）学生有机会进入大专院校学习。尽管他们可以进入大专院校的校园甚至教室，但对于许多学生和他们的导师来说，如何接触实际的课程内容仍然是一个挑战。通过对美国东北部一个 IPSE 项目中的 10 名智障学生进行半结构化访谈，本定性研究考察了学生在大学课程中获取课程内容的经历。我们强调了学生们认为对他们获取课程内容的能力和在所选课程中取得成功有重要影响的因素。研究结果表明，学生将积极或消极的课程体验归因于课程教师的亲和力和使课程内容易于理解的能力。学生们讨论了他们希望在获得支持的同时被视为完全合格的学生的愿望。研究还提供了对实践的启示。

This study used longitudinal special education record data from a large urban school district to review classroom placements of students in Grades 5 to 9 educated in traditional public schools ( N = 21,314). Results indicated that half of the students were educated primarily in general education classrooms ( n = 10,658), 9% of students had a primary placement of a special education classroom ( n = 1,977), and 41% ( n = 8,679) switched classroom placements between Grades 5 and 9. The highest rate of primary classroom switching to special education occurred in sixth grade and to general education in Grade 9. Results of a hurdle model showed that students educated with alternate curriculum, African American and Hispanic students, and those with an eligibility of Autism, intellectual disability, orthopedic impairment, or emotional disturbance spent less proportion of their school day in general education than students educated with general curriculum, White students, and those with learning disabilities, respectively.

Data-based decision-making, which involves evaluating students’ progress and making instructional decisions, is an integral competency for preservice teachers. Several studies have found that visual aids, such as decision-making models, may be an effective way to train preservice teachers to make instructional decisions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a decision-making model, with and without supplemental online instruction, on preservice teachers’ accuracy in identifying data patterns and making data-based decisions. Results showed that participants in both the decision-making model only and online training plus decision-making model groups had greater accuracy compared with participants who received no training. However, there were no significant differences between the two treatment groups, suggesting that the decision-making model may stand alone as an effective intervention to train preservice teachers to identify a data-based decision. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Local special education administrators (LSEAs) are integral in facilitating career development services for students with disabilities alongside their peers, particularly in rural school districts. This qualitative study explored the perceptions of 12 LSEAs regarding their contributions related to career development for students with disabilities in their rural districts and the factors they perceive to shape their own ability in this area. The emergent grounded theory indicated that LSEAs viewed their own roles in career development to vary widely and compete with other priorities as well as to be contextualized by their knowledge and awareness of opportunities within their districts and communities. Furthermore, LSEAs perceived these roles to be shaped by their collaborations within their districts, their partnerships in the community, the involvement of students’ families, and training and supports available to them. Recommendations for research, practice, and policy with respect to extending the contributions of LSEAs are provided.

We used triannual reading curriculum-based measurement of oral reading fluency data from 11,834 students in Grades 2 and 3 enrolled in an evidence-based Tier 2 reading intervention program (Reading Corps) to investigate the extent to which family involvement in the intervention might buffer against a negative effect of lower intervention dosage. The relation between family involvement in Reading Corps and growth in oral reading fluency was stronger when students spent fewer hours in tutoring, suggesting that family involvement in tiered reading intervention can compensate for receiving less intervention dosage. There was noticeable variation in this effect across tutors, suggestive of tutor-level heterogeneity of this relation. The relation between sending family engagement materials to families and the materials that are returned to tutors also substantially varied across tutors. We discuss findings in terms practical significance for school-based academic intervention systems. We highlight limitations and opportunities for future directions as well.

Research-based practices generally improve student outcomes but are not regularly implemented with fidelity in classrooms. Websites that feature research-based practices may be used to improve pre-service teachers’ understanding of the practices; however, little is known about pre-service teachers’ experiences with or perceptions of these websites. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and explore pre-service teachers’ perceptions of content related to one effective strategy, self-monitoring, after reviewing three websites that feature research-based practices (i.e., IRIS, Ci3T, and Intervention Central) to which they were randomly assigned. Results indicate that the 168 participating pre-service teachers increased their perceived understanding of self-monitoring after visiting the websites. In addition, participants identified features of the websites (i.e., videos, real-world examples, implementation guides, assessments, quizzes, resources, and organization) they perceived as helping them understand self-monitoring.

This study’s purpose was to examine the effects of the concrete-representational-abstract integrated (CRA-I) sequence on the performance of students who struggled with rational number concepts. Three students in fifth grade participated in the study. The CRA-I intervention was grounded in the principles of explicit instruction and showed rational number concepts related to fractions and decimals using fraction blocks, number lines, base 10 blocks, and coins. Students learned about unit fractions, fraction magnitude, fraction equivalence, addition of fractions with unlike denominators, equivalent decimals, and notation of fractions as decimals. The researchers used a multiple probe across behaviors design and demonstrated a functional relation between CRA-I and three behaviors: decreased fraction estimation error, accuracy in adding fractions with unlike denominators, and accuracy writing fractions as decimals.

This study used data from Michigan schools participating in the Reading First program to examine the stability of students’ disability status in Grades 1 to 3. Reading First aimed to improve at-risk students’ reading comprehension through research-based instruction. We analyzed how changes in students’ disability status were related to reading comprehension growth. The sample consisted of n = 10,196 students from 191 schools who took the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) Reading Comprehension subtest. Data were collected from 2003 through 2008. We observed considerable changes in disability status for students with speech–language disorders or a specific learning disability ( n = 1,193). These students had lower achievement levels and made less progress than students without disabilities. Overall, achievement gains did not differ between students with different stability and change patterns in their disability status. However, students changing from speech–language disorders to a specific learning disability demonstrated the smallest achievement gains.

This study evaluated the effects of a reading intervention for emergent bilingual students with significant reading difficulties in Grades 6 and 7 within a multisite randomized controlled trial. Emergent bilinguals were randomized to a researcher-provided intervention ( n = 171) or business-as-usual comparison condition ( n = 169). Results on a measure of word reading indicated significant differences favoring treatment after Year 1; however, there were no significant differences between groups on standardized measures of reading comprehension. Initial English vocabulary knowledge moderated reading comprehension scores at the beginning of the second year of intervention, indicating that students’ response to instruction varied as a function of their initial English language proficiency. The discussion focuses on interpreting these findings with an emphasis on improving the effectiveness of interventions for secondary grade emergent bilinguals with significant reading difficulties.
