Instructional Settings

1-1
1:1 ( or 1-to-1) instruction refers to a teaching situation where an educator is working with one student only. The 1:1 instructional setting lends itself well to specific instructional strategies (e.g., video modeling), specific generalization tactics (e.g., contrived mediating stimulus) and specific support strategies (e.g., prompting).

Small Group

Large Group
Large group instruction refers to a teaching situation where an educator is working with a large group of students, including the student working on social skills. The whole group instructional setting lends itself well to specific instructional strategies (e.g.,direct instruction), specific generalization tactics (e.g., train others to prompt and reinforce) and specific support strategies (e.g., visual supports).
