Student Teaching in Your First Inclusive Classroom

As the first inclusive classroom guide for student teachers specifically, this book provides essential support as you navigate your student teaching placement and build the skills you need to support all students. With a focus on how you can effectively apply high-leverage practices in inclusive K-12 classrooms, the book covers a range of relevant topics including: how to understand the needs of students in an inclusive classroom, differentiated lesson planning and delivery, implementing evidence-based instructional and classroom management practices, carrying out individualized education programs, providing appropriate accommodations and modifications, and collaborating with other educators and families. Each chapter features suggestions for online resources, classroom activities to try, and questions for your own self-reflection, making this book a key resource for pre-service teachers working to obtain elementary or secondary teacher certification, as well as their university supervisors and cooperating teachers.
