Synopsis

Dedicated to research-based practices only (as opposed to opinion-based practices), this text provides in-depth coverage of validated methods that may be applied to teaching across all the content areas.

The authors emphasize effective teaching behaviors regardless of the content being taught. This book helps bridge the research-to-practice gap, and includes:

Less is More Approach ― Limiting content to validated practices results in more thorough descriptions of the selected practices than what is typically found in methods books.

Models ― The organizational structure of the book reflects the sequential process involved in effective teaching and learning (i.e., Planning Instruction, Delivering Instruction, and Evaluating Student and Teacher Performance). Formative review questions are provided after Chapters 3, 7, and 10, and a summative review is provided after Chapter 10 to promote synthesis and retention of important concepts. Each chapter is organized to model effective pedagogy.

Overarching Themes ― The content is grounded in overarching themes (i.e., student diversity, importance of quality instruction, technology applications, and career-long learning among teachers) that reflect accurate understandings of current school contexts.

Quatrième de couverture

Validated Practices for Teaching Students with Diverse Needs and Abilities, 2/e

By Susan Peterson Miller

 

Dedicated to evidence-based practices, as opposed to opinion-based practices, this methods text is focused on helping to bridge the gap between research and practice.  Once again, it encompasses a less is more approach by limiting content to validated practices, offering a more thorough description than found in other methods texts. Centered on models of effective teaching practices, the organization of the text reflects the sequential process involved in effective teaching and learning. With content grounded in overarching themes that reflect accurate understandings of current school contexts, as well as clear emphasis on both diversity and technology integration and applications, Miller’s text provides in-depth coverage of validated methods that may be applied to teaching across all the content areas.

 

 Special features of the second edition include:

• Validation Boxes highlight the research and field tests that support the use of the various practices described in the book and allow both instructors and students to access readily available references to conduct further research on topics of great interest.
• NEW! Three content area chapters have been added: Providing Instruction in Mathematics (Chapter 6), Providing Instruction in Reading (Chapter 7), and Providing Instruction in Handwriting, Spelling, and Written Expression (Chapter 8). All three chapters are framed around state-of-the-art and evidence-based practices supported at the national, state, and local levels.
• NEW! Updated to reflect the latest amendments to IDEA and its Final Regulations. You’ll find in Chapters 1, 3, and 10 the pertinent information on definitions for all disability categories, positive behavioral support, functional behavioral assessments, behavioral intervention plans, and assistive technology.
