Special Education Lesson Plans

Have you been looking for new ideas for special education classroom lesson planning?

Don't miss the the update and my reflection on the special education lesson plan process below!

special education lessons

I've been asked to share ideas on lesson planning, but first – I have a few questions for you!  

  • How does your school or grade-level team lesson plan?  
  • Do you lesson plan together as a team, vertical plan based on content, or individually plan for your own class?  
  • Are you required to submit special education lesson plans to a “coach” or administrator?  
  • Is there a required lesson plan template that you follow?
  • Do special ed lesson plans look different than general education?
  • Our grade-level teams plan in the following way: each teacher tackles one content area: Math, Comprehension, Writing, Language, Vocabulary/Morning Message, and Phonics. This general education teacher writes the unit plans and assessments, weekly lessons, resources for class (flipcharts, activity pages, exit tickets), and homework. These lesson plans are shared out 2 weeks (10 days minimum) in advance on our “intranet” where we can upload files. Each teacher is also required to presubmit their lesson plan to a designated Teacher Development Leader (often an administrator) for review. This review is a big process at the beginning of the year with constructive feedback, and then often falls into a “check for completion” after the first quarter of the school year. 
  • We backwards plan the year, so the scope and sequence and unit plans/calendar are already shared out before the school year starts (we work during the summer!). This “big picture” is extremely helpful to the special educator (me!) and I access them often. Weekly grade-level team meetings often include discussions regarding timing adjustments to the completed plans due to field trips, snow days, and/or data review (i.e.: our students need more practice!).
  • The lesson planners also meet vertically with other grade levels planning the same content area. For example, the first grade teacher planning math will meet with the kindergarten and 2nd-4th grade math teachers to discuss key teaching points. 
  • As the special educator, I download the general education weekly lesson plans and then differentiate them for students on my caseload. I'd love to say I do it the same way every week/month/year, but as my students' needs change,  so does my planning!
  • This year, I've often “stuck to the script” for comprehension, phonics, and math, and then differentiated the presentation  (small groups, more guided practice, parallel teaching).  Next, I supplement and add in tons and TONS of spiral review based on data analysis (I collect data daily!). In previous years, my students have been in a completely different place than the general education population, so my lessons were following a  different (more “bare bones”) scope and sequence. It completely depends on my students' IEP goals and objectives and their areas of strength/growth. VERY interesting, especially because my first graders seem to grow and change WEEKLY!  This makes my job exhausting exciting! 🙂
  • I submit my lesson plans 10 days in advance to my team leader. This is the accountability piece our school has built in for every teacher. I find that my lesson plans can be cumbersome and I don't refer to them too often throughout the week. Still, they are a great resource when I'm prepping and/or a student is absent and we need to find a way to catch up the instruction. 

That was A LOT of information about lesson planning!

Here's what my weekly lesson plan overview looks like:

special education lessons

UPDATE – Wow, this post brings back a lot of memories! It was originally written in 2012 and has received many revisions along the way.

Upon a lot of reflection and opportunities to have meaningful conversations with other special educators, I actually can't believe the expectations we had way back when. It was a WHOLE lot of extra and while the intentions were well-meaning, it was just so much.

I'm keeping the information here because I think (hope!) it may still be helpful for others, especially if you've tried out many special education activities and lesson formats and still haven't found one that works. Maybe some components of these sped lesson plans will be helpful to you and spark some fresh ideas!

Accommodations and Environment Curriculum Support IEP Resources Behavior Management Special Education Inclusion

Understanding that special education resources are applicable to both general education and special education teachers alike, TeacherVision provides resources that can be used as part of an IEP both in the general education classroom and in specialist resources rooms. Our resources have been curated from leading special education partners and publishers, and are easily categorized for the most common uses by both generalists and specialists.

What Is Special Education?

Special education can generally be defined as the integration of instructional, behavioral, social-emotional, developmental, and curricular support services and strategies designed to help students with disabilities learn. Special education resources and services are usually delivered across a variety of school settings, depending on the needs of the child and the availability of school staff and environment.

Some special education students may spend part of their time in an integrated classroom, receiving instruction from generalists and interacting with classmates, with scheduled interventions from specialists (speech, language, behavioral, physical therapy, etc.). Others may spend the bulk of their time in dedicated special services environments, with specialized physical, developmental, and learning supports.

Most students designated for special education services will receive an Individualized Education Program (IEP). IEP special education services take into account the varying needs among special education students, and tailor learning and specialized services for each individual student. In most cases, an IEP special education plan involves the development and implementation of specific accommodations designed to meet the needs of each individual student, both in the general education classroom and in specialist resource rooms.

Advice on Making Elementary Special Education Lesson Plans

Creating a plan for a year in an elementary school classroom for special-needs children requires flexibility and, in many cases, unique activities for each child depending on their situation. This classroom environment can be very rewarding for teachers who have created a solid base in classroom and curriculum design—and because you’re here reading this, you’re no doubt determined to establish exactly that—or perhaps you’re considering getting into special education teaching. Either way, good for you; we’re happy to help.

Below are four tips for making elementary school lesson plans for special education classrooms.

Create a multi-sensory environment

Children in a special education class may have trouble learning or communicating, or be behind developmentally for their age. As a result, they could struggle with processing lessons and expressing their emotions, and most learn best in a slightly different way.

By setting up the classroom with different objects and displays for students to see, manipulate, and hear, teachers can increase the chances that students will find a learning tool they connect with. For example, to teach the seasons, you might use a large visual display, boxes filled with items associated with each season, and a hot-cold station. Students can listen to birds chirp and waves crash as they learn about each season to incorporate new senses into the learning experience.

Understand the IEP

Parents of special needs children develop an individualized education plan, or IEP, with the teachers and schools. Special education teachers should be familiar with both the requirements for an IEP and their role—and the parents’ expectations. Children with a speech delay, for example, will have different requirements than students with physical disabilities.

An IEP will go over a student’s learning style and offer suggestions to accommodate it. ADHD students may need to be told instructions individually, while maintaining eye contact, to be sure they understand. Teachers should meet with parents and administrators at least twice a year to go over the success of an IEP and suggest changes based on the child’s development.

Work with peer tutors

Since the late 1980s, studies have shown that working briefly in a general education setting helps special education students comprehend language and new information. Today, we call this inclusive education. Besides the academic advantages, peer tutors are an excellent way to give special needs students practice interacting with others in a controlled setting.

Bringing students of the same grade level in daily can also give a special education classroom structure, and students are likely to most feel comfortable in their own classroom when meeting new people. This practice also benefits the general education class, who will learn kindness, acceptance, and patience. Reviewing information by explaining it will give students a deeper understanding, while presenting special needs students with a different way of thinking about the lesson.

Adapt assessments

When developing a special education curriculum, you may want to place more weight on the process and daily improvements than on a final quiz. However, when test time comes around, an alternative assessment may give students the opportunity to show off their knowledge and express themselves.

By creating a collage, acting it out, or explaining something verbally, students who find getting their ideas on paper challenging can prove their understanding. Remember to be flexible and creative. Even students who are comfortable with a more traditional test may need more time or a quiet (or louder!) environment.

You’ve got this

Creating a strong special education lesson plan for elementary students is imperative for a successful year. Like all students, children in special-needs classrooms want structure and consistency. To come up with new ideas, many teachers collaborate with partners or other educators. Even social-sharing sites like Pinterest have dozens of boards devoted to special-needs activities, strategies, and printable worksheets. By over-preparing and adopting non-traditional strategies, you can ensure that your students have a fun and productive year. You can do this!

Special Education: Definitions, Types, Lesson Plans and Resources

Special Education Resources and Activities

Overview of Special Education

What is sped.

Special education (SPED) is a tailored instructional program designed to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities. Its purpose is to provide individualized support to help students achieve their full academic potential and develop essential life skills. SPED addresses a wide range of needs, including physical, cognitive, emotional, and social challenges. The goal is to ensure that all students have equitable access to education and the opportunity to succeed.

Understanding Special Education Needs

Autism and special education.

Students with autism often require specific educational strategies and support systems to thrive in a school environment. Effective autism SPED programs incorporate structured learning environments, visual supports, and individualized behavior interventions to meet the unique needs of students with autism.

Effective approaches include:

  • Structured Learning Environments: Creating predictable routines and clear expectations.
  • Visual Supports: Using visual schedules, cues, and communication boards to enhance understanding and communication.
  • Social Skills Training: Teaching social interaction skills through role-playing and social stories.
  • Behavioral Interventions: Implementing positive reinforcement and behavior modification techniques to manage challenges.
  • Sensory Integration: Providing sensory-friendly spaces and activities to help students manage sensory sensitivities.

Reinforcement Choice Boards | Special Education Lesson Plans

Special Education Terminology

Understanding key terms in SPED is crucial for effective communication and collaboration:

What is Special Education?

A comprehensive definition refers to the education of students who have special needs due to learning differences, physical disabilities, or behavioral challenges. These students often require additional support, services, and specialized instruction to help them achieve their educational goals. SPED programs are designed to meet the unique needs of each student and to ensure that they have access to a free and appropriate public education.

IEP (Individualized Education Program): A legal document outlining specific educational goals, services, and accommodations for a student with disabilities.

LRE (Least Restrictive Environment): A principle ensuring that students with disabilities are educated alongside their non-disabled peers to the greatest extent possible.

Special Education Lesson Planning

Creating effective lesson plans.

Creating lesson plans for special ed students involves using differentiated instruction techniques to accommodate various learning styles and abilities. Applying special ed lesson plans in a classroom setting can be tricky, but SPED classes, often called special ed classes, are designed to meet these challenges. Incorporating these lesson plans into daily instruction can greatly enhance the learning experience for students with diverse needs. A well-structured lesson plan for special education should include clear objectives, tailored activities, and assessment methods that align with each student's IEP goals.

Developing lesson plans for special education requires careful consideration of the following:

  • Individualization: Tailor lessons to each student's IEP goals and learning style.
  • Differentiation: Provide multiple means of representation, engagement, and expression to accommodate diverse learners.
  • Flexibility: Be prepared to adjust lessons based on student responses and progress.
  • Incorporate Technology: Use assistive technology to enhance learning and accessibility.

  • Classroom Management Tools: Strategies for creating a structured and positive learning environment.
  • Professional Development: Workshops, webinars, and courses to stay updated on best practices.
  • Support Networks: Online communities and local support groups for sharing experiences and advice.

Key Areas of Focus in Special Education

Communication and social skills.

Teaching communication and social skills is essential for students with disabilities:

  • Verbal Communication: Use speech therapy and language development exercises.
  • Non-Verbal Communication: Implement sign language, picture exchange systems, and augmentative communication devices.
  • Social Interaction: Practice social stories, group activities, and peer modeling.

What does SPED mean in school for teachers working with students who have behavioral challenges?

For teachers working with students who have behavioral challenges, SPED, or Special Education, means implementing tailored strategies and interventions to manage and improve these behaviors. This can include creating individualized behavior plans, using positive reinforcement, and employing specific classroom management techniques. Additionally, SPED involves collaborating with other professionals, such as school psychologists and behavior specialists, to provide comprehensive support that addresses the root causes of behavioral issues and promotes a positive learning environment for all students.

There is no doubt about it, no two children are the same, especially when it comes to learning. All children, and people in general, learn at different paces and have different learning styles. Here at Storyboard That, we create resources and lesson plans that take into account various learning styles, needs, and levels, paying close attention to the importance of differentiation. Our visual resources are particularly helpful for visual learners, nonverbal students, and students on the autism spectrum. Check out our special education resources so you can start planning and creating individualized materials to fit each student's needs today!

enCORE Math Lesson Plans

TeachTown’s enCORE solution is the only standards-based, core-curriculum based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) that provides students with moderate and severe disabilities, including students with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities, access to the general education curriculum. Read on to learn more about each segment within enCORE’s Math Lessons.

Special Education Math Curriculum - enCORE Math Lessons from TeachTown

Special Education Math Curriculum

enCORE is a comprehensive approach to delivering grade-aligned academic instruction for students with moderate to severe disabilities. The math domain of the K-12 adapted core curriculum was designed with the evidence-based instructional practices found throughout enCORE, including the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis and systematic, explicit instruction .

Structure of enCORE Math Lesson Plans

Each math lesson is structured to flow through the gradual release of responsibility, guiding students towards greater independence as they show they are ready. Lesson plans begin with anchored instruction to help students connect the new learning objective to their existing background knowledge and to make connections to their everyday lives. Then, teachers move through this sequence:

  • Direct instruction and modeling
  • Shared instruction and guided practice
  • Independent student practice with ongoing teacher monitoring

This progression is noted within the print lesson plans as ‘Model, Lead, Test’ and will likely be familiar to educators as the I Do, We Do, You Do model.

Introducing students to new skills in small, bite-sized pieces supports complex learners by ensuring students receive multiple exposures to the new skill, prompting and feedback to avoid practicing incorrectly, and plenty of practice to reinforce new learning.

  • Click here to see a sample enCORE Elementary Math Lesson Plan
  • Click here to see a sample enCORE Middle Math Lesson Plan
  • Click here to see a sample enCORE High Math Lesson Plan 

The math domain also includes evidence-based instructional practices that are specific to math, including concrete representations, the use of technology, and connecting math to real-world events.

Concrete Representations

Concrete representations , or math manipulatives like ten-frames and counting toys, are available throughout the enCORE curriculum for elementary , middle , and high school students . Lessons incorporate many everyday items that are found in the classroom. For example, in one elementary lesson, students learn to distinguish between thin and thick by comparing books of different sizes.

The specific math manipulatives included in each grade band are shown below in the manipulative kit item lists:

  • enCORE Elementary Math Manipulatives
  • enCORE Middle Math Manipulatives
  • enCORE High Math Manipulatives

Concrete representations help make math concepts and operations less abstract, more concrete, and relevant to students’ lives. For example, students who practice concepts about money with coins and dollar bills are much more likely to generalize those concepts to their everyday lives.

Math and Technology

Boy working on an iPad

Technology is also used to help anchor instruction by making math operations more applicable to day-to-day activities and to literature stories.

Connecting Math to Literature

Literature reviews identify the use of math problems that represent real-life scenarios as an evidence-based practice for teaching math. This is one way to anchor instruction. Math instruction in every unit of enCORE Elementary is anchored in problems that are meaningful by using the literature embedded in the curriculum. For example, word problems designed to teach problem-solving skills and basic math operations focus on the characters and scenarios for the book that anchors that particular unit.

The lesson plan snapshot below shows a sample word problem related to the characters and scenarios from a unit in enCORE Elementary. The book for this unit is The Swiss Family Robinson. Students practice modeling single-digit addition and subtraction math problems through the context of the characters in the Robinson family (e.g., collecting sticks, building a fire, etc.).

Connecting Math to Everyday Living

While enCORE Elementary makes connections from the new math concept to the unit’s literature throughout the lesson plans, enCORE Middle and enCORE High primarily make these connections during the anchor instruction portion of the lesson plans (e.g., the beginning part of the lesson). Activating background knowledge helps older students make sense of new math concepts by drawing upon existing references but also honors the developmental advancement of both the literature and math as the lessons progress.

EnCORE Math incorporates real-world math applications alongside standards-based activities and practices for all grade bands. Skills like budgeting, time management, and other skills that students with low-incidence disabilities may not learn incidentally are explicitly taught and reinforced through warm-up worksheets. These skills are spiraled where appropriate throughout the lesson plans so that students have opportunities to apply foundational concepts to their everyday lives.

Students learn how to:

  • Read a bus schedule and plan accordingly
  • Account for traffic when deciding what time to leave the house to arrive on time
  • Save enough money to make a desired purchase

And much more!

These everyday math skills are reinforced to ensure these foundational skills are acquired, retained, and generalized to support their transition to adulthood & the appropriate level of independence after high school.

Let’s take a look now at the specific math content in each of the grade bands.

enCORE Elementary Math Lessons

In enCORE Elementary, the Math domain includes 8 areas of focus.

The Counting and Cardinality Segment addresses number identification, number sense, rote counting, counting quantities with one-to-one correspondence, and sequencing numbers and quantities. These early numeracy skills provide a strong foundation in what numbers mean and how they relate to the objects in our world, allowing students with moderate to severe disabilities a firm footing for jumping into the content included in other Math segments.

In the Operations and Algebraic Thinking Segment , students are guided through pre-problem-solving and problem-solving activities. Math is brought to life using relatable story problems, and students are taught to identify critical information from a problem and the steps necessary to solve the problem using evidence-based support.

The Measurement and Data Segment addresses measurable attributes of physical objects, sorting and comparing those objects, and graphing and analyzing data. Students and teachers work side by side to complete hands-on activities based both in the curriculum’s literature and in real-world scenarios.

The Math All Around Us Segment addresses two key areas: (1) extending skills taught in other segments as they relate to the world around us, and (2) how we can draw skills from multiple math domains and use them in tandem to solve problems in the education classroom and beyond. [Add another sentence like …] This segment gives students additional practice with newly acquired skills and the valuable opportunity to connect seemingly abstract concepts to their everyday lives.

Each Number and Operations in Base 10 (or Fractions, for Units 19-36 in the 3-5 band) Segment provides teachers and students with hands-on materials and graphic organizers needed to develop conceptual knowledge and clear comprehension of how numbers, quantities, and individual objects can be put together, organized, and taken apart. These lessons encourage students to practice numeracy skills in the context of Base 10 units, tens, and hundreds and in the context of the parts and wholes represented by fractions. Students will bring these skills together to solve equations and word problems using Base 10 Units and fractions.

The Time Segment is designed to address the functional math skills we use daily. From identifying time on various devices to identifying money and making purchases in the community, teachers are provided with scripted step-by-step instructions on how to teach these critical math concepts.

The Money Segment is designed to familiarize students with coins and dollar bills and support them in developing a sense of their value, both in relation to other currencies (e.g., “A $20 bill is worth more than a quarter.”) and in relation to their value in everyday situations (e.g., “I can buy more with a $20 bill than a quarter, but someone should not ask me to pay $20 for a pack of gum.”). These lesson segments focus on identifying coins and bills, counting the value of money, and employing practical strategies to use money effectively in the real-world environment.

The Geometry Segment teaches students to identify two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Additionally, students are taught to identify the attributes of shapes, compare shapes by their attributes, and identify and extend patterns.
