About this title

Synopsis

As states adopt more rigorous academic standards, schools must define how special education fits into standards-aligned curricula, instruction, and assessment. Utilizing PLC practices, general and special educators must develop collaborative partnerships in order to close the achievement gap and maximize learning for all. The authors encourage all educators to take collective responsibility in improving outcomes for students with special needs.

Review

"Yes We Can! takes a practical look at how commitment to the PLC process can improve learning for special education students. By setting high goals for all students, teachers can use data to make meaningful adjustments that will lead to greater achievement for each individual student. A step-by-step guide to a challenging subject!" -- David Essink "Principal, Hastings Middle School, Hastings, Nebraska [a National PLC Model School]; 2013 National Breakthrough School Principal; 2013 Region IV Middle School Principal of the Year; 2014 Nebraska Midd"
