About this title

From the Back Cover

Based on the belief that even small accommodations make a difference in the success of students with disabilities, this text provides the knowledge, tools, and practical strategies that will empower teachers spark learning in every student -- including students with disabilities, culturally diverse students, students with limited English proficiency, economically disadvantaged students, and other students at risk. Revised to reflect recent changes in the law and current terminology, the strength of the book continues to be its numerous learning activities and sample lessons addressing both elementary and secondary classrooms, as well as its four chapter unit on curriculum adaptations with specific strategies and activities for teaching reading, writing, mathematics, and content areas. The strong emphasis on professional planning and collaboration make it an excellent resource for all teachers. For anyone who teaches students with disabilities, culturally diverse students, students with limited English proficiency, economically disadvantaged students, and other students at risk.
