Part I tells the story of the first half of that journey and highlights the original validation research studies that were conducted on four Content Enhancement Routines: the Concept Mastery Routine, the Concept Comparison Routine, the Concept Anchoring Routine, and the Question Exploration Routine. Each study utilizes some type of experimental research design to determine the effects of teachers’ use of the routine on the test performance of subgroups of secondary students within inclusive classes. The subgroups included students with disabilities and students without disabilities—high achievers, normal achievers, and low achievers. In all of the studies, the students who participated in the instructional routine earned significantly higher test scores than students who participated in a standard lecture/discussion lesson.
