Practical Strategies for Middle School Inclusion

Middle school is a tough time for kids and they often make sure their teachers share their struggles with them. It can be an even worse experience when the child is a special education student who is segregated from his peers in a self-contained classroom. Eileen Bowers is a veteran special educator who has been involved in a ground-up inclusion program for the past decade. In this book, she recalls her struggles and successes while showing others how to put together an inclusionary program that works for everyone involved, from administration to the students. Includes dozens of easy-to-use suggestions on important topics like grading, co-teaching and peer acceptance.
