What happens to special needs students when implementing common core in the classroom? Educators are working to design lessons for students with disabilities, English learners, and gifted students. The latter we don't have, of course, in Title I, but the premise is the same. Stakes are high because all kinds of students must prove themselves scholastically with the new Common Core tests. Standards-based IEPs are tough to write as well as academic language uniques to each discipline. These are daunting expectations for students with disabilities and students learning the language. Challenges are immense; there is no easy answer.
