Synopsis

This book presents a framework and strategies, for all primary teachers in inclusive environments, to understand the general curriculum, design instruction that will allow ALL students to access and make progress in the general curriculum, design measures that can be used to assess the progress of disabled students within the general curriculum, and develop effective collaborative relationships between general and special education teachers. The challenge of making the general curriculum accessible for all students requires a new way of thinking and problem solving. Therefore this is not just a "how-to" book-it is a "how to think" book.
