Abstract

The academic achievement of special education students in an integrated team-teaching program was compared with the academic achievement of students in a self-contained special education class. The students in the self-contained class made significantly greater gains in reading, while the students in the integrated class made significantly greater gains in spelling. There was no difference in arithmetic gains. It was concluded that the instructional program and teaching methods seem to be more important variables in the achievement of special education students than the type of classroom organization.
