Meeting the Challenge: Special Education Tools that Work for All Kids gives busy educators the tools they need to teach a classroom of students with various skill levels and special needs. General and special educators can find effective strategies to help students struggling to overcome academic or behavior difficulties. This valuable toolkit provides specialized resources to help teachers meet the individual needs of any student by addressing six critical areas: Evaluating struggling students using classroom-based assessments. Observing behavior and positively addressing behavioral challenges. Using a collaborative team process. Developing educationally relevant student expectations. Providing accommodations and modifications. Communicating effectively with parents. This toolkit is filled with useful ideas and practical, timesaving strategies, as well as sample checklists, rubrics, conference planning sheets and other resources teachers can copy and use or modify to make their own.Also available: Truth in Labeling: Disproportionality in Special Education - ISBN 0810620405 Including Students With Disabilities in Assessments - ISBN 0810620758The NEA Professional Library is the book publishing arm of the National Education Association.
