Course Description

What exactly is special education and what are my responsibilities for students with disabilities as a regular classroom teacher? Like other students, those with disabilities are expected to make progress and it is the classroom teacher who is ultimately responsible for their achievement. But the world of special education is complex and not always easy to understand. This book explains everything a regular classroom teacher needs to know, including the laws that affect special education, what the classroom teacher’s responsibility is in the referral process and how to support students with disabilities after the evaluation for special education has been completed. This book is a must-read for teachers with students in their classrooms who have disabilities.
