Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many teachers in regular classrooms feel unprepared to teach students with learning disabilities. Fortunately, brain research has confirmed that strategies benefiting learners with special challenges are suited for engaging and stimulating all learners. In this book, neurologist and classroom teacher Judy Willis explains that we can best help students by putting in place strategies, accommodations, and interventions that provide developmentally and academically appropriate challenges to suit the needs, gifts, and goals of each student. Brain-Friendly Strategies for the Inclusion Classroom will help teachers * Understand how the brain learns and the technologies that reveal this process. * Implement strategies that are compatible with students' individual learning styles and honor their multiple intelligences. * Improve the focus of students with attention disorders and help them gain the confidence and skills they need to develop goal-oriented behaviors. * Create an enriching learning environment by incorporating student-centered activities, discovery and hands-on learning experiences, cross-curricular learning, and multisensory lessons. * Implement strategic review, study, and test preparation strategies that will allow students to retain information and connect it with future learning. * Build safe, supportive classroom communities and raise class awareness and empathy for students with learning disabilities. It's time for teachers to lower the barriers, not the bar. Using strategies that align with research on how people's brains function, teachers can engage all students as individuals and help them reach their maximum potential with joy and confidence.

Scruggs Recent Praise for "The Inclusive Classroom: Strategies for Effective Instruction" ""Quite detailed. Quite practical. Everything is well linked to both research and standards."" "-Joseph E. ""Nolan"," ""Indiana ""University"" of ""Pennsylvania" ""This text is exceptional. The authors have provided numerous practical examples throughout the book that are easy for inexperienced teachers to implement. I believe even teachers with extensive experience would find new ideas in this textbook."" "-Karen B. Clark, ""Indiana ""University"," ""South Bend" As you can see, the real strength of "The Inclusive Classroom" is its emphasis on practical, research-based teaching and learning strategies in an inclusive environment. The third edition focuses on the basic tools general educators need and directly relates content to the academic and professional demands of teachers in inclusive settings. Practical and Effective Teaching and Learning Strategies "In the Classroom" features offer tips, strategies, and resources that address very specific need areas, and can be practically applied to inclusive classroom situations. "Classroom Scenarios" provide context for the specific teaching strategies featured in the text. "Strategy and Lesson Plan Database CD-ROM "packaged with the text provides users with a searchable database of the strategies featured in the text as well as additional lesson plans for the inclusive classroom. The database software also allows users to modify and adapt current strategies and lesson plans or to create new ones. Research and Resources that Support Practice and Professionalism "Research Highlights" explain the research behind certain teaching strategies developed for use with students with special needs, provide resources for further information and explanation, and tie chapter content to the research with reflection questions. "Diversity in the Classroom" features address the fact that classrooms are more diverse not only in respect to students with disabilities, but also with respect to race, religion, and ethnicity. "Professional Standards" (including CEC, INTASC, and PRAXIS) are listed at the end of each chapter where relevant. A complete listing of standards can be found on the Companion Website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text offers a wealth of practical and proven strategies for successfully including students with disabilities in general education classrooms. The text provides targeted strategies for the subject and skill areas, as well as special needs of individual students, with a strong focus on instructional strategies applied to specific student need areas. An overall theme of "effective, differentiated instruction" is infused throughout the text, relating to those practices that are most closely aligned with academic success. The text is unique in its three-part coverage of 1). the fundamentals of teaching students with special needs, 2). effective general teaching practices, and 3).inclusive practices in specific subject areas. With a strong focus on instructional strategies and how they are applied to specific student need areas, the text goes further by featuring more specific strategies than any other text, and extensive information about the most effective strategies available, and when and how to use them.. This strong focus instructs pre-service teachers and other education personnel on how they can implement in the classroom specific strategies to address a very wide range of grade levels, skill levels, academic content areas; and extensive and very specific information on strategies teachers can use in the areas of most concern to them, e.g., behavior management, handling student confrontations, promoting literacy, memory for school content, motivation to learn, maintaining student attention, adapting assessment and improving test scores, and specific strategies for adapting specific lessons in math, science, social studies, and career and technical education. Specifically written for pre-service or in-service special education teachers who will work with general education teachers in K-12 classrooms, the text is also relevant for school psychologists, counselors, support staff, and other school personnel interested in helping all students succeed in the classroom.
