Synopsis

Learn the best methods for teaching students with disabilities in an inclusive classroom!

In today’s classrooms, teachers must meet the educational needs of students of all ability levels, including students with disabilities. This invaluable resource offers elementary and secondary teachers a deeper awareness of "what works" when teaching students with disabilities in general education classrooms. Grounded in extensive special education research, this book will enlighten teachers with a greater understanding of special education students and how to teach them successfully.

For teaching students with the most common disabilities in classes with their nondisabled peers, general and special education teachers alike will get the most current information on issues such as:

• Developing Individualized Education Programs
• Teaching reading successfully
• Managing behavior and motivating students
• Organizing classrooms and lessons effectively
• Using cognitive strategies successfully
• Making appropriate accommodations and modifications
• Assessing students, grading, and collecting data
• Working with parents and families
• Collaborating with other teachers and parents

One of the greatest challenges teachers face today is how to ensure that all students succeed, regardless of their ability. Rooted in the best research and practice, this essential resource provides the tools needed to create an inclusive classroom and demonstrates how to teach classes successfully.
