Developed by two veteran special education experts with a combined 70 years of experience, this guidebook breaks the inclusion process into concrete, manageable goals and shows how to accomplish each one by applying the authors' four-step STAR model. Using this proven, research-based model, school leaders will collaborate with all members of the education team to
- implement Response to Intervention to help all students make progress toward learning standards
- align students' IEPs with the general curriculum
- incorporate Universal Design principles into curricular materials and instructional methods
- select appropriate accommodations and modifications
- conduct effective screening and progress monitoring for all students
- include parents as collaborative partners
- prepare students to direct their own IEP processes
- get general educators fully on board with and involved in inclusion
- make the most of the school principal's leadership
- maximize the benefits of peer supports
To meet each of these critical goals, school teams will refer to the book's handy STAR organizer, which lays out in chart form the specific steps needed to accomplish each task. Then they'll take action with suggested inclusion strategies and helpful photocopiable forms and tools, including a sample vision statement, an IEP meeting feedback form, a survey on professional development priorities, and self-assessment tools so schools can see how effectively they're implementing the STAR model.
The ultimate resource for education teams as they lead the way to schoolwide inclusion, this innovative guidebook is key to supporting the vision and values of inclusive education. Schools will have the practical, down-to-earth model they need to establish or improve inclusive practices, and all students will have the education they need to reach their full potential. Make your school an inclusion STAR:
- set the tone—establish a culture based on equality, democracy, and valuing of differences
- translate research to practice—use effective practices in blended classrooms
- arrange for collaboration between professionals
- reflect on process and outcomes—evaluate successes and remedy limitations
