Special Needs Teaching Strategies Power Point • Prepare an informative Power Point presentation to provide your classmates with

resource ideas regarding the most effective strategies used to teach students with special needs, either in the classroom or in tutoring sessions.

• Enlighten and motivate fellow teachers with guidelines, tips, blogs and websites and several usable strategies they can use to meet the needs of struggling students. These ideas must be based on scholarly best practices. You can find information about scholarly best practices in quality books, approved websites, and scholarly articles.

• Include a list of valuable websites or books with in-text citations that include page numbers and include a references page so the teacher will be able to locate the sources you used to get more information.

PowerPoint Outline • Your PowerPoint presentation should include five sections. • You will need to include in-text citations as needed and speaker notes at the

bottom of each slide OR include voice-overs. You do not need to do both speaker notes and voice-overs.
