The Classroom Teacher's Inclusion Handbook

Overview

Practical teaching methods for integrating students with special needs

This resource advises teachers how to meet the needs of a diverse student population within a mainstreamed classroom. It lists examples of questions teachers should ask and the kind of help they might expect from classroom aides, administrators, the school board, and parents. Here are the goals that teachers should set for special needs students, the roles of other students in the classroom, and the steps to take if the placement is not successful. Attention is paid to each special need—the disability is clearly defined, characteristic behaviors are outlined, and suggestions for working with each are given.
