Dr. Margaret Weiss Follow Up Discussion

Co-Teachers in Classrooms Getting Coffee (Season 2 Episode 8) Our last conversation with Dr.  Margaret Weiss (Season 2 Episode 7) inspired us to dig deeper into Anne M. Benninghof’s book, Specially Designed Instruction Increasing Succes for Students with Disabilities. This book works to clarify these 3 questions about SDI: What is SDI? Who is responsible?
