Succeeding in the Inclusive Classroom e-bog

Ideal for Introduction to Special Education/Introduction to Exceptionalities courses, this supplementary text provides strategies pre-service and in-service teachers can use to apply the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to their lesson planning. UDL lesson planning considers "e;up front"e; potential barriers that could limit access to instruction for some learners and helps teachers brainstorm possible solutions before lessons begin. The lessons included in this text are meant as a starting point for general education teachers who have students with special needs in their classrooms and can be adapted for K-12 learners with a wide range of challenges.Key Features:This text consists of lesson plans to address learners from ten major disability areas covered in every standard Introductory textbook: Intellectual Disabilities; Learning Disabilities; Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder; Emotional or Behavioral Disorders; Autism Spectrum Disorders; Speech and Language Disorders; Hearing Impairments; Visual Impairments; Physical Disabilities; Health Disabilities, and Related Low-Incidence Disabilities; and Gifted and Talented. Metcalf provides one lesson plan at the elementary school level and one at the secondary level for each area of exceptionality.
