Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This article introduces and describes the studies that are part of the thematic special series aimed at exploring research questions for improving learning outcomes for students with learning disabilities (SLD) in science and mathematics. Special educators have the requisite knowledge and skills to meaningfully include these students in studies that focus on important disciplinary understandings; yet, to date, relatively few special educators develop and validate interventions for students with high incidence disabilities to learn about science or mathematical practices. Given the fact that most SLD receive instruction in the general education classroom, where there are reforms that call for increased rigor in instruction and meaningful problem-solving for all students, it is imperative that SLD receive effective supports for deep content learning. We hope the current articles spark readers’ interests in adding to this emerging body of research and invite others to build on the ideas shared in the special series.
