I served as an elementary exceptional children teacher for eight years. However, it has been 16 years since I have taught in an elementary classroom! I drew upon my knowledge of elementary children and my experience as a school administrator (elementary principal) when preparing this lesson plan.
This lesson provides the opportunity for student to become actively engaged in the learning process, to collaborate with their classmates in cooperative learning groups, and to engage in open discussion. The teacher can readily assess student understanding of the material and can create successful experiences for all levels of students.
I have conducted seminars with students K-12 including special needs students and all have been successful participants. I have used the Jigsaw strategy with students K-12 and at the university level as a professor and students at every level have benefited from and enjoyed this strategy.
