Breaking Down the Barriers is the story of supervision and intervention in the public schools system. This text gives both theory and theory in action. It allows the practitioner to peruse the research that the practical applications are based upon, and follow the suggestions that are offered for the successful implementation of evidenced-based practice. Bulleted summaries at the end of the chapter highlight key elements of the practice, and the theory it is based upon. Specific case studies are given at the end of each chapter to generalize realistic situations, based upon the research, into a problem-solving format for the reader.
Dr. Gorman’s book covers the salient details of the intricate processes and procedures surrounding meeting the needs of all students while addressing key factors to successful administration in today’s public schools. Writing from extensive experience, he succinctly gets to the heart of current issues critical to successful administration.
