Teaching Students with Special Needs in General Education Classroom gives teacher candidates the knowledge and skills they need to work effectively with the broad array of learning needs found in today’s classrooms. Included is specific information about students with special needs, including students with various disabilities, students identified as gifted and talented, culturally diverse students, and students who are English learners. The book details state-of-the-art practices, like response to intervention (RTI), to help readers develop essential professional knowledge and skills of today’s educators.

Preface
The needs of today’s learners are as diverse as our students. General education teachers are now tasked with enabling a wide range of students—from English language learners to students with learning disabilities to those with visual or hearing impairments—to succeed and thrive in the inclusive classroom.
This book is about teaching and addressing the educational needs of all students. It is designed to prepare the professional educator to effectively teach the widely diverse range of students found in
the general education classroom. It provides information about several groups of students with special needs, including those with disabilities, students who are gifted and talented, culturally diverse learners, and those who are English learners. In addition, it presents practical strategies for modifying instruction to meet the learning needs of all students in general education classrooms.
Teaching Students with Special Needs in General Education Classrooms, Ninth Edition, provides the knowledge, strategies, and instructional techniques that teachers need to address the complex and often perplexing diversity that lies behind the classroom door. All students, particularly those with special learning needs, deserve special care and special teaching. This reader-friendly, categorically organized text takes a case-based approach to contextualize the laws, organize the information, and teach the methods educators need to know to provide effective instruction to all children.
Among new areas of focus in this edition are the important topics of response to intervention (RTI), Universal Design for Learning, classroom assessment techniques, and the needs of English learners.
The most tech-savvy text of its kind, this comprehensive new REVEL edition continues to break new ground in preparing general educators for the challenges and opportunities of the inclusive classroom.
It focuses first on the creation of inclusive classrooms, second on skills for the general education teacher, and finally on effective strategies for teaching students with disabilities and other types of
special needs.
Organization of the Ninth Edition
The first four chapters discuss the purposes of and rationale for inclusion, describe collaboration and the team approach, identify the major characteristics of students with special needs, and explore the various types of diversity found in today’s inclusive classrooms. Many text features support the fundamental concepts presented in these initial chapters, and provide background for the chapters that follow.
Part II addresses the skills needed by the educator, with emphasis on those of particular importance for teachers in general education classrooms. Strategies are provided for achieving four basic instructional goals for learners with special needs: arranging the learning environment, modifying instruction, encouraging positive classroom behavior, and promoting social acceptance. Also, information is presented on identifying and intervening with behavioral and academic challenges using RTI. Special features found throughout the text provide coverage of practical teaching strategies and techniques.
In Part III of the text, teaching strategies are suggested for a variety of different types of special students. This section provides methods for teaching students with learning disabilities, speech or language disorders, emotional and behavioral disorders, autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities, physical and health impairments including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and visual and hearing impairments.
New to this Edition
The ninth edition has been revised and reorganized into 15 total chapters with updated references from the most currently available information. The text is divided into three major areas: Introduction to Inclusive Classrooms, Skills for the General Education Teacher, and Strategies for Teaching Students with Disabilities. Each chapter has been organized to focus on understanding, integrating, and applying the crucial concepts of each section, which will lead to better and more effective practices in the inclusive classroom. Other changes to this edition include:
• NEW! Student Stories at the beginning of each chapter include a short introductory story featuring relevant information about the student’s learning strengths, needs and methods for modifying instruction.
• An Integrated Approach to Students Who Are English Language Learners and those students who are Gifted and Talented, who often require classroom and instructional adaptations to accommodate their own diverse set of needs.
• NEW! Chapter 2: Collaboration and the Team Approach focuses on the importance of partnering with parents and families to achieve educational goals.
• NEW! Chapter 8: Monitoring Student Performance Using Response to Intervention is focused exclusively on using RTI to prevent and intervene with academic and behavioral difficulties in the classroom.
