Overview

Description

For courses on Inclusion

Provides the best source of cross-categorical, practical strategies available for teaching students with special needs in inclusive settings.

This package includes the Enhanced Pearson eText and the loose-leaf version

This widely popular text provides practical help for understanding the legal and ethical bases of special education, while acquiring the knowledge about and skills to deliver effective instruction to all students. A cross-categorical book, it provides strategies that cut across subject areas, covering the content most needed by general educators and others working with students with special needs.

The book’s four main sections provide: 1) fundamental background knowledge about the field of special education and information on how students with disabilities are served within inclusive school environments; 2) a framework for thinking about effective instructional practices for students who struggle to learn; 3) an introduction to students with specific disabilities and other special needs; and 4) a sound look at the heart of any course on inclusive practices, including instructional approaches that emphasize teaching students effectively both in academic and in social and behavior domains, regardless of disability or special need.
