Key Ideas
• The goal of specially designed instruction (SDI) is to provide access for all students with disabilities to the general curriculum
• Explicit instruction (I do, we do, you do OR gradual release of responsibility) is the foundation of SDI (effect size of .75*)
• Scaffolding level of skill performance supports all struggling learners on their way to mastery
