Abstract
This chapter brings the educational needs of students with disability from the margins to the mainstream by arguing that teacher education programs have a role to play in dismantling rigid and often unquestioned practices that segregate learners with disabilities from mainstream learning environments. This position is predicated upon a case study analysis of co-teaching strategies that emerged within the context of developing and teaching two new courses in an integrated dual credential program (general and special education) in our department. Construction and analysis of these cases reveal eight cross-cutting principles that serve as a framework for a praxis of desegregation in teacher education programs and K-12 settings and as a set of constructs for evaluating teacher training impact.
