Instructor-friendly, standards-based techniques for teaching students with special needs.
Whether teaching inclusive or special education classes, instructors need effective differentiated and brain-compatible methods for learners with learning disabilities, at-risk students, or youngsters who may have learning difficulties. Demonstrating how to differentiate instruction in any classroom, this second edition of the best-selling book Differentiating Instruction for Students With Learning Disabilities shows teachers how to support learners through flexible, practical lessons to help them achieve significant gains in reading comprehension, language arts, and math.
You will learn how to use metacognitive and scaffolded learning techniques such as webbing, cubing, and tiering, and discover how to enhance social skills through group projects, role play, and practical peer tutoring systems. With a revised reference section and "Teaching Tips" sidebars throughout, this research-based text also includes updates that:
- Address changes prescribed by IDEIA and federal regulations covering eligibility criteria, assessments, and Response to Intervention (RTI)
- Provide more data on brain research and literacy based on the National Reading Panel’s five tenets of reading instruction
- Offer new information on universal design for learning and classroom organization
- Present a greater focus on graphic organizers
- Include new materials on mathematics
Both general and special education teachers will return to this book again and again as an invaluable guide for differentiating instruction in any classroom.
