Riassunto

This book is best suited for a course on inclusion or mainstreaming. It also may be appropriate for introductory courses in special education, methods courses in special education, and courses on collaboration.

Thoroughly revised, Creating Inclusive Classrooms: Effective and Reflective Practices, fourth edition, provides a practical and research-based, non-categorical approach to creating inclusive classrooms for ALL students, regardless of learning ability, gender, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, linguistic background, or family structure. Unlike many texts, which focus mainly on including students with physical or mental disabilities, this text focuses on practical strategies for helping teachers create environments where instruction is truly individualized to meet the needs of ALL students who face challenges that might affect their learning. By incorporating the themes of diversity, reflective practice, collaboration and technology, the book is consistent with NCATE and other professional standards for preparing teachers to work in today's diverse classrooms.

Dalla quarta di copertina

More reflective, more practical...This inclusion text goes beyond discussing how to teach students with varying learning abilities to address issues of gender, race, ethnicity, language, socioeconomic status, and family structures.

Features of the fourth edition include:

• Content is based around four principles―diversity, individual needs, reflective practice, and collaboration―to demonstrate that inclusion is not just a government mandate, but a principled philosophy of reflective, effective teaching.
• Emphasizes reflective practice through two new features: Reflective on Professional Practices and Reflecting on Your Practices.
• Unique concluding chapter discusses and demonstrates how to assess the success of your inclusion program.
• Each chapter includes textual content related to multiculturalism, and ends with What Would You Do in Today's Diverse Classroom? reflective exercises.
• Includes a CD-ROM, "Developing Quality IEPs: A Case-Based Tutorial", which guides students through the development of IEPs and the criteria necessary to assess their quality.
• a text-specific Companion Website and video package have been integrated into the book.
