Embedded Learning Opportunities
Think, Pair, Share
• What are you currently doing in your classroom to embed specially designed instruction across the activities and routines in your classrooms?
• What is working well? What are challenges?
• Talk to your neighbor and share ideas and solutions.
What objectives require specialized instruction?
• High priority for family• Provides entrée to more sophisticated or
age-appropriate skills• Increases independence• The child is unlikely to acquire the skills
without your instruction

• Teaching episodes focus on a child’s individual learning objective.
