A sixth-grade classroom includes students with special needs who regularly spend time in the school's resource room. In planning and organizing instruction for this class, it is most important for the teacher to take steps to ensure that the students with special needs:
focus on learning experiences that emphasize collaborative rather than individual work.
do not experience feelings of social isolation from their peers.
spend most time engaged in self-selected activities geared toward their own strengths and preferences.
have ample opportunity to interact with others who have similar needs
