This book provides a synthesis of best practices in inclusion, and demonstrates that individualized instruction is enhanced, not lost, in supported general education classrooms.
The implementation focus of this text underscores its usefulness as a tool for universities engaged in training prospective teachers who will work in diverse K-12 classrooms. Strategies clearly demonstrate how unified systems and resources can be employed for all students' benefit.
Typical students, students from at-risk situations, students with mild as well as severe disabilities are all addressed, and special education is not seen as separate from general education. Building Inclusive Schools assists college instructors in communicating state of the art models for curriculum and instruction as well as the processes involved in their development.
