This Learning Together activity will provide you with an opportunity to practice designing Specially Designed Instruction (SDI), using the pre-K grade case study scenario and the SDI Development Tool. Reflect upon the Key Considerations you learned about in the module:

Effective SDI may include, as appropriate for the individual student:

• Instruction and Interventions
• Accommodations
• Supplementary Aids and Services
• Program Modifications
• Support for personnel

The SDI plan specifies the services provided, time/setting, resources/tools, inclusive training needs, and monitoring plan to support implementation with fidelity.

Specially Designed Instruction accelerates the student’s progress towards grade-level academic content standards and age-appropriate functional expectations by supporting mastery of IEP goals and objectives and access to ongoing instruction and assessment. A full SDI plan addresses all areas of need; this activity is focused on one area for demonstration purposes

Select an example of SDI closest to your grade level.

• Pre-K
• Third Grade
• Sixth Grade
• 9th Grade
• 11th Grade (Alternate Educational Framework)
