A Teacher’s Guide to Special Education: A Book Study

Wondering why they do that in special education?

Inclusion is the intent and spirit of education law in 2023, but many teachers report feeling unprepared to work with students who have learning disabilities, cognitive impairment or behavioral challenges. A Teacher's Guide to Special Education by David F. Bateman and Jenifer L. Cline, begins with an analysis of the laws that impact our practice. Then the authors walk us through the practical implications, offering support and research-based solutions to common issues including grading, graduation, classroom management and IEP implementation.
