The book gives preservice teachers an informative and practical introduction as they prepare to work with older students. As an excellent refresher for practicing teachers, it offers new approaches that can be incorporated into everyday inclusive classrooms. This resource will become bookmarked and dog-eared from both initial use and subsequent reference by serious educators." —Jean Lokerson, Faculty Emerita, School of Education Commonwealth University Keys for unlocking the doors to learning for ALL students!
