What if we told you there is a population that makes up roughly 16-20% of students, and it’s one that we don’t acknowledge or provide adequate support for. These children are ones who fall into the gap between normative academic achievement and meeting requirements for special needs support. This week Ray and Paul have the pleasure of talking with Dr. Steven Shaw on this topic and reviewing his new book: Reaching and Teaching Students Who Don’t Qualify For Special Education, Strategies For The Inclusive Education Of Diverse Learners. With the plethora of valuable information, we were only able to discuss two of his chapters on Executive Functioning and Academic Motivation. We hope that you take away as much as we did in this Masters in Practice episode: Supporting Children with Low Academic Achievement with Dr. Steven Shaw.
