 Deborah Baker works as a special education teacher in a
sixth-grade blended program at Wayland-Cohocton Middle School in
Wayland, New York. She shares teaching responsibilities for about
40 children with two regular education teammates, Ann Boss and John
Crossett. Nearly one-third of the youngsters the three teachers
work with have classified disabilities. One child is blind. Others
have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or
receptive-expressive speech impairments. "We don't run any
pull-out programs," explains Baker. "We try to provide student
services directly in the regular classroom." All students
participate in activities involving technology. The computer serves
as the perfect venue for challenging simulations and
problem-solving. For example, with the Tom Snyder Production
program, Decisions, Decisions: Environment, youngsters at all
ability levels work together to solve the problem of pond
pollution.
