This is a fabulous book! I am an up-and-coming elementary teacher, and currently in my last internship in the schools. This book provides information for real life teaching and not the picture perfect idea of teaching. This book is also very well written, and it is a good length, one in which it is possible to read, instead of the textbook sized, 50 pound books you usually find on this type of information. Highly recommended if you are interested in teaching elementary school students, and even middle school, as the things in this book can also apply. Happy reading (and teaching!)
Rating: 5[book:Effective Inclusion Strategies for Elementary Teachers: Reach and Teach Every Child in Your Classroom18063509] by [author:Cynthia Simpson986075], Jessica A. Rueter, Ph.D., and Jeffrey P. Bakken, Ph.D., is an excellent introduction for a general education teacher beginning the process of opening their classroom to include students with special needs. As the current trend towards inclusion will almost certainly continue and quite probably increase, this book could be an indispensable resource to all elementary teachers beginning the process. The book is a highly accessible, easy-to-read overview of the typical type of special needs' students a general education teacher is likely to encounter and some of the modifications and adaptations that will increase student access to the curriculum and class activities. After an overview of the impact of the least-restrictive-environment law and the popular movement towards inclusion, Simpson presents a slightly more in-depth presentation of ways in which a teacher can include students with specific disabilities, including autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and physical challenges, using the lens of a case history with a student with a specific challenge. At the end of each chapter, there's a brief "If you want to know more" section that points the teacher toward additional resources in how to deal with the disability addressed in that chapter. There are Tables that are helpful visual presentations of information. My own areas of expertise include autism, learning disabilities, orthopedic handicaps, and emotional/behavioral disturbances. In these areas, I can affirm Simpson's knowledge of the disability and current research-based interventions and supports to enable student success.There is also a helpful glossary of the most significant terms.Simspon, a professor and Dean of Education in the School of Education and Behavioral Sciences at Houston Baptist University and co-writers Rueter (assistant professor at The University of Texas at Tyler in the School of Education) and Bakken (professor, Associate Provost for Research, and Dean of the Graduate School at Bradley University) have done a masterful job of presenting a huge topic in a highly condensed form. I wished there had been an index and a bibliography but those are smell quibbles to have with this massive and on the whole highly successful attempt at introducing teachers to the world of special education in a highly condensed and useful fashion. I would strongly recommend this to all teachers in elementary schools. If they do not already have students with special needs in their classroom, they probably will in the near future. They should get ready for the future. [in the interests of honest disclosure, I received this book from LibraryThing.com's Early Reviewers but the opinions expressed are my own]
Rating: 4Very informative on the many different disabilities that can plague a child...was especially helpful with a child I had in my care with Speech delays among other not yet diagnosed conditions.
Rating: 4This is a great resource for Elementary school teachers. I am a teacher and also certified in ESE (Exceptional Student Education) also known as Special Ed. This book provided a wealthy of information. The information is clearly laid out and very easy to follow. My favorite part is the section labeled “applying the strategies”. The book also provides case studies to show the examples of some of the challenges that students face. There is a very clear and thorough explanation of the inclusive classroom and explanation of current educational laws. Another section that I really liked was Chapter 12 Technology for Students With Disabilities. This chapter shows how different technological programs can help with different learning challenges. These challenges range physical to emotional. I highly recommend this book.
