### STRATEGIES THAT HELP TEACHERS:

- ensure that all students have **access to the general education curriculum** in the least restrictive environment
- **presume competence** and recognize every student’s unique strengths
- meet students' individual learning needs with **differentiated lessons** and innovative **academic supports**
- **team up and collaborate with other educators and professionals** to make the most of everyone's expertise
- distinguish an **IEP** from a **504 plan**, and develop and implement both appropriately
- support students who have behavior challenges with a classroom-wide **positive behavior support** system
- promote **academic and social inclusion** in the classroom and in recreational spaces, from the playground to the lunchroom
- supervise the important work of **paraprofessionals**
- avoid burnout with **self-care strategies** and **stress-busters**

### PRACTICAL RESOURCES: 
Planning tools and checklists to help you identify student strengths, develop IEPs, plan lessons, strengthen co-teaching, choose modifications and accommodations, and more.
