Testing Supports, Not Students: Shifting the Mindset in Special Education

  • Resumen

  • In this episode of Conversations with the Co-op, host Lainey Sandberg sits down with Jeffrey Lee, K-12 Special Education Coordinator at PBEC, to discuss a powerful mindset shift in special education: Are we testing the student, or are we testing the supports?

    Together, they unpack how starting with the assumption that students can succeed—when the right supports are in place—can change the conversation around interventions and placement decisions. Jeffrey shares how educators can move from focusing on student deficits to critically evaluating the effectiveness of supports and interventions.

    Key takeaways include:

    • Why the default assumption should be that students can succeed in general education with proper supports.
    • How to reframe team discussions around data and interventions.
    • Practical steps teams can take to assess and adjust supports before making placement decisions.

    Tune in to learn how testing supports, not students, leads to better outcomes and empowers educators to continually refine their practice.
