Teaching Content to All includes what every secondary teacher needs to know about instructing students with different learning needs.

It helps secondary teachers understand academic diversity among students and then plan for and implement instruction that reaches all students.

The text addresses the unique challenges faced by secondary educators committed to inclusion and to meeting standards for all students. Teaching Content to All explains research-based teaching techniques and strategies based on understanding instructional goals rather than simply implementing isolated teaching tools.

Examples are heavily oriented toward the content areas, and the planning and teaching routines it presents are easily adaptable across the curriculum by both general and special educators. The material can be adapted for the elementary grades.

  • Covers the “Big Ideas” that guide learning, allowing students to see the big picture while organizing information for them (Chs. 4, 7 & 8).
  • Includes explicit and practical methods for curriculum course, unit, and lesson planning (Chs. 3, 4, 7 & 8). In learning to use these methods, prospective teachers are provided with a structure and framework to develop teaching practices in their specialized content areas.
  • Chapter 9 includes detailed, research-based teaching routines to help teachers make instructional modifications to address a variety of learning needs among their students.
  • Addresses academic diversity in secondary schools using a new paradigm based on building a learning community in classrooms that effectively supports efforts to include all students (Ch. 5).
  • Includes a unique chapter focused on establishing effective communications between students and teachers, a topic that is not given much attention in other texts. (Ch. 6).
  • A full chapter on effective learning strategies provides explicit ways to help students learn how to learn (Ch. 10).
  • Chapter 12, “Linking to Other Professionals,” discusses ways teachers can work effectively with professionals in schools or districts to utilize the expertise of others in teaching students with special learning needs.
  • “Making Connections” feature, at the end of Chapters 3-12, provides ideas and concrete examples about implementing the ideas presented in the chapter.

Each chapter contains “Foundations and Principles” and “Knowing and Doing” and concludes with “Summary.”
