experiences and wisdom gathered from years of instructing children in a variety of school settings.

teachers—offered by the master teacher featured in each chapter—on how to avoid common

pitfalls in the classroom.

guidelines for designing, implementing, and evaluating instruction for students with disabilities.

special education with the controversial issues, triumphs, struggles, and interventions involved in

special education.

March 07, 2009: We are using the text in our class and I find it very interesting and informative. The text is definitely college level reading but it isn't bad for a textbook. There are a lot of pictures and interesting bylines inserted and there is a glossary and index that are helpful. For someone who has begun working with exceptional children I have found it a good book to use a reference. The lab series included helps with has pre and post tests that help review the information. The homework section doesn't help me with reviewing what I have read.
