Read the "Small Group Case Study" and imagine that a general education teacher you are co-teaching with has asked you to help with the planning and implementation of instruction for this group of students. In a 3-5 minute video, address the following as if you were sharing these ideas with the co-teacher as the audience:

1. Select one of the frameworks or models as the system of support you will use to plan lessons and activities for the students and explain why you think this is the best framework/model to implement with the group.

2. Describe an activity you will implement with the group of students to develop their higher-order thinking skills, while still meeting their diverse needs. Get the instant assignment help.

3. Explain two specific strategies and accommodations you will employ when executing the activity with the students and justify the selection of each.

4. Describe how you would manage the activity differently in an online, hybrid, or multi-age classroom environment. Include a discussion of changes that would need to be made to the framework/model, activity, strategies, and/or accommodations.

5. Discuss two technologies you will employ when working with this group of students and explain why you think each will be beneficial to the group.
