Synopsis

Based on the success of The Inclusion Facilitator Training Program at the University of New Hampshire, this book discusses changing the role of special education teachers to Inclusion Facilitators (IF). This change will emphasize that all special education teachers have a central responsibility to support students with disabilities so that they can be fully participating members of beterogeneous general education classes in their neighborhood schools. The IF approach is a well-developed, easily integrated method for improving special educator's skills. The book describes tested, practical ways to facilitate inclusion. It explains in detail the IFs role in classroom, including how to be a successful IF, how schools can support IFs, and how to prepare pre-service IFs.
