71% of students with learning disabilities spend 80% or more of their day in the general classroom. All the more reason for us to attend to general educators’ preparation to work with students with disabilities. And for more rigorous research on co-teaching.
In fall 2017, some 95% of 6- to 21-year-old students with disabilities were served in regular schools. How did the educational environments of students with disabilities vary overall and did they vary by #disability? Our UPDATED #FastFact has answers: nces.ed.gov/FastFacts/disp…
