Elementary Supports (K-4th)

Learning Together in the General Education Classroom

Whenever possible, we bring special education support right into the general education classroom so students can learn alongside their peers.

Push-In Services

• What it looks like: A special education teacher comes into the general education classroom for specific periods of the day to work directly with students who have IEP goals.
• The classroom environment: Unlike co-teaching, the special education teacher does not co-lead the entire class, but instead provides focused instruction to individual students or small groups during their regular daily activities.

Specialized Small-Group Support (Pull-Out Services)

When a student needs more intensive support or modified materials that cannot be easily provided during regular class time, they may receive pull-out instruction. This means they spend part of their day in a smaller setting working directly with a special education teacher. The IEP determines the amount of time a student will  receive specialized instruction outside the general education classroom.
