An insightful guide for integrating comprehensive services to benefit all students.
Acknowledging that student achievement increases in inclusive learning environments and decreases when groups are taught separately, this easily accessible guide examines methods for raising the achievement of English Language Learners and students with special needs, who are sometimes overlooked in a culture of high-stakes testing. The authors provide a step-by-step process for conducting a formative analysis to help schools integrate schoolwide change through proactive support services.
Readers will find ways to:
- Examine discrepancies between current practice and research
- Build a school climate that supports students with challenging behaviors
- Implement programs focused on continuous equity-driven accountability
- Develop curriculum, instruction, and teacher capacity
Ideal for special education teachers, directors of special education, and other district administrators, this excellent resource can help you develop an instructional climate to promote success for every student!
