  1. Janet, love your layout of your blog. I didn't post the table like you did but wished I had. Your area is a challenging one but much needed. With state testing changing the way does, special ed's special considerations seem to be less and less with each change. Your findings should be helpful and enlightening on moving ahead in math instruction.

  2. I am a Special Education teacher as well, and I appreciate the importance of your study. I believe that you have selected a topic that is clear and specific.
