Synopsis

Strategies for Teaching Students with Learning and Behavior Problems continues to provide in-depth descriptions of methods and strategies for teaching students, managing professional roles, and collaborating with families, professionals, and paraprofessionals.

This new edition features an increased emphasis on secondary level students by adding a new chapter on “Transition Planning and Life Skills/Transition Education.” The authors have also integrated technology throughout the text with the addition of Tech Talks and relevant Websites. Additional emphasis has been placed on monitoring student progress and teaching diverse students throughout the book.

The book has been updated with regard to IDEA '97 and the March '99 implementation regulations and the use of research-based practices, with the chapters on reading being completely revised to reflect new research on teaching phonological awareness, the alphabetic principle, word analysis, and the chapter on socialization, revised to emphasize positive behavioral supports school-wide and within classrooms.

All of the concept application examples, tech tips, classroom applications, and instructiona activities are absolutely excellent. The thing teachers always ask is, "How do I...?" This text gives them the answers.
