The inclusive schools movement has been around since the mid 1980s, yet many teachers find themselves ill-equipped to make the transition. This superb book offers information, guidance, and training ranging from history of the inclusion movement to recommended activities for use with students. The authors draw upon their personal experiences as classroom teachers and describe ways of implementing curriculum change, grading procedures, partnering with parents, and other key strategies to assist the teacher in setting up a successful inclusive classroom to meet the needs of all students in the 21st century.
The authors have written a useful and practical book that administrators and regular and special educators will find easy to understand. The chapters are brief and do not have to be read in sequence; it is possible to glean a great deal of information from isolated chapters. With inclusion as its theme, the book focuses on effective methods for preparing teachers and schools to include all students. Overall, the book is an impressive piece of literature that will enhance the reader?s knowledge of special education and prepare educators to meet the needs of students with disabilities in the 21st century classroom...
