Another example of age-respectful instructional materials for students in Grade 3 - High School+ receiving special education services. This week in #Newstopia, educators can select from short news articles on fighter pilots spotting a UFO, glaciers melting, the Rugby World Cup, flamingos in Wisconsin (yes, it's true!) and more to connect their classroom to the world. There is no learning curve for educators using Newstopia for the first time, which makes it great for, new educators, experienced educators with little time to prepare materials, short-term and long-term substitute educators, educational assistants/paras providing classroom support or an administrator who wants to serve as a guest teacher. Access the yellow buttons below each article to use instructional slides, do shared reading with the story text, show a related video, or follow the explicit instructional prompts in the academic lessons for grades 3- high school or transition programs. Use for free through Dec. 31 during the introductory access period: https://bit.ly/465LmN1 #SpecialEducation
