Role-Play: A Strategy for Teaching Social Studies One of the reasons social studies is viewed as a tough academic discipline is the result of force-fed historical dates and data.

Therefore the teacher proactively plans a variety of ways to ‘get at’ and express learning” (Tomlinson, 2001, p. 3).

Despite taking several special education classes, I struggle with how I am going to apply these strategies I have learned into my music education classroom. With this in mind, I have noticed that several students in my observations of local music classes have disabilities, but are excelling.

The first paper that I discovered in my research is a study called
