Samenvatting:

This concise yet comprehensive text offers an introduction to special education practice. It covers the basics in the field—including key definitions, history, and policy—and focuses on evidence-based practices in teaching, strategies for inclusive schools and classrooms, and contemporary issues affecting at-risk students more broadly. The book consists of six chapters designed to fit within various models of practice-based preparation and invites deliberate connections between the ideas it presents, and the active classroom practice it encourages. Each chapter features suggested collaboration and practice activities, and inquiry activities presented in the last chapter align with the 22 High Leverage Practices (HLPs) identified by leading researchers in the field. Special Education in Practice is an ideal text for teacher candidates in any licensure or teacher preparation program working within a practice-based setting.
