rigor for students with special needs

One of the challenges in today's schools is working with students with learning disabilities.


In this workshop or keynote, we look at:

  • the facets of motivation that impact our students with special learning needs, 
  • how to tailor your classroom instruction accordingly,
  • how to incorporate the elements of rigor for special needs students to ensure they receive the same high-level expectations opportunities.
  • Discuss the facets of motivation for students with special needs, including learned helplessness.


  • Explore how rigor is and can be appropriate for students with special needs.


  • Apply strategies for scaffolding to ensure students with special needs can learn at rigorous levels.



  • Develop and action plan for implementing next steps into your classroom.
