Synopses & Reviews
This practical, how-to handbook addresses the best practices for including students with disabilities in the general education classroom, and provides general education teachers with essential information on effective special education practices and how they can best be used in the inclusive classroom. Special education teachers generally get this information in the methods courses they take in their preservice programs, but general education teachers rarely get any training in the nature of disabilities or in the effective methods for teaching students who have disabilities.
This resource is a direct reflection of concerns expressed by preservice and inservice teachers in their work with the ever-increasing numbers of students with diverse needs as well as the diverse nature of the general education classroom. It addresses their need to understand who these students are, how they are identified, and what to do with them in the classroom. The book also discusses how to collaborate successfully with each other, with families, and with other professionals providing services to students with disabilities.
