With Margo Mastropieri, Ph.D.
Dr. Mastropieri, who specializes in strategies for teaching exceptional students, uses the model called reconstructive elaborations (mimetics, keywords, pegwords), to show how various skills can be adopted and mastered so that the LD student can confidently and successfully become involved in social studies. By using this model, content area information becomes more meaningful, familiar and concrete and, therefore, more memorable and ready for use in the regular classroom.
