Sharing our new crowdsourced study on science instruction for students with LD — preregistered, preprint, national team effort. We found that science is often pushed aside by remediation, testing pressures, and scheduling conflicts.
New preprint from our SERA team: Science instruction for students with learning disabilities (LD) is being overlooked. We surveyed a nationally representative sample of elementary special educators. osf.io/preprints/ed...

New Research Alert!
We surveyed general education teachers nationwide to see how science is taught to students with LD in 4th & 5th grade.
💡 Some students get 5x more science time than others.
💡 Students with IEPs often miss science due to pullout instruction.
