- NASET Webinar Featuring: Dr. Sarah King -
Teaching Math to Students with Disabilities
Evidence-Based & Culturally Responsive Strategies
Join Us Tuesday, April 14th @ 7PM EST
Meet Dr. Sarah King:
Dr. Sarah King is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Special Education at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa her research focuses on evidence-based math practices for students who struggle with mathematics, with a particular emphasis on preparing both general education and special education teachers to deliver high-quality, culturally and linguistically responsive instruction. She holds a Ph.D. in Special Education from the University of Texas at Austin, where she trained under some of the field's most recognized math researchers.
Currently, Dr. King leads Project SCALE-UP, a federally funded grant working to expand the evidence-based "Fraction Face-Off" intervention -- developed by Lynn and Doug Fuchs -- into rural elementary schools across Hawai'i. She also serves as Chair of the Digital Engagement Committee for the Council for Exceptional Children's Division for Learning Disabilities.
Her work is grounded in a simple but powerful belief: every student deserves math instruction that is both rigorously evidence-based and responsive to who they are.

Why Attend?
Math instruction for students with disabilities is one of the most under-resourced areas in special education -- and one of the most consequential. Fraction understanding alone is the single biggest predictor of algebra readiness, yet most teachers receive little to no training on evidence-based math strategies during their preparation programs. Add the growing call for culturally responsive instruction and most special educators are left navigating this on their own.
Dr. King is one of a very small number of researchers in the country doing active work at the intersection of evidence-based math practices and culturally responsive instruction for students with disabilities. This is your chance to hear directly from her -- and walk away with strategies you can use immediately.
In this session, participants will learn:
- What the science of math actually says and why so few teachers know it exists
- Why fraction understanding is the gateway to algebra and what intervention strategies the research supports
- How evidence-based math practices differ between general ed and special ed -- and what that means for your IEP goals
- What culturally responsive math instruction looks like in practice for students with disabilities across diverse classrooms
- How to bridge the gap between research and your classroom using frameworks that are practical, not theoretical
- Current findings from active multi-site research on fraction intervention happening in schools right now
All registrants will have access to the recording and attendees will receive a certificate of attendance for professional development.
