Preparing General Education Pre-Service Teachers for Inclusion: Web-Enhanced Case-Based Instruction

Abstract

This study investigated the use of Web-enhanced instruction and an inclusion teaching case to teach pre-service teachers to adapt instruction for included limited English proficient students with disabilities. Forty participants, in 10 cooperative learning groups, analyzed the teaching case and developed an adapted lesson plan for the teacher in the case to use with the whole class and the students with disabilities. The collaborating teacher provided feedback regarding the adapted lessons online using WebCT. The participants redid the lesson after feedback. Adapted lessons were analyzed using the Adapted Lesson Analysis Guide. The analysis revealed that intense, elaborated adaptations were developed as a result of the feedback. The participants also completed the Case On-Line Project Survey and a written reflection regarding their perceptions of the project and its outcomes.
