Reasons for lack of participation
We're not offering trainings and materials for high school teachers.
Reluctance of teachers to attend trainings.
High School teachers more departmentalized. (must be geared to each subject area)
We concentrate on low-incidence, but bulk of mainstream kids miss out (their teachers)
Solutions
Provide software/technologies for all kids
Look at needs of regular ed teacher with mainstream kids
