Abstrakt: This action research project was designed to determine whether teaching explicit discussion strategies to students receiving special education services would lead to an increase in self-confidence and participation during small group and whole class discussions in a general education classroom. Data were collected by two teacher researchers in a fifth grade English Language Arts (ELA) classroom using a pre/post student survey and classroom observation. Findings of the study suggest that explicitly teaching social skills focused on discussion allows special education students to self-identify situations where they struggle, rehearse new skills and receive feedback, and self-monitor their progress, sometimes with the desired end result of generalization to other settings.
