This video provides an overview of collaborative teacher inquiry (CI) and how it can be used to facilitate and investigate new ways of supporting students with learning disabilities (LDs) in the area of math. This video features interviews with educators from the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic District School Board (PVNCCDSB), including a Special Education Consultant, a Student Achievement Consultant, and a Grade 7/8 Teacher. Each participant discusses the importance of CI and how CI and manipulatives might be used to support the learning of students with LDs in the area of math. We trust that watching the CI process in action will motivate educators in both general education and special education settings.
The accompanying Viewers’ Guide provides key messages and concepts presented in the video as well as individual and group activities to deepen an understanding of CI and the use of manipulatives to support the learning of students with LDs in math.
