Understanding and Implementing Inclusion:
A Practical Guide for Classroom Teachers
Elaine Francis, Fitchburg State College; Ruth M. Joseph, Lasell College, and Anne M. Howard, Fitchburg State College

The authors of this new guide clearly outline why inclusive education is more effective for students with disabilities than other practices currently in place. In it they provide a clear definition of inclusion, a historical perspective, and a straightforward approach to creating inclusive environments in schools. The authors promote the need for systematic change by offering personal experience and practical examples of he positive effects of inclusion on student performance. Included are case studies, suggested reading lists, sample IEPs and Section 504 plans — all included to help teachers implement and sustain inclusive classroom practices that will serve as models for schools and districts to follow.

"This is definitely a 'must read' for people new to the special education arena. Those people would include teachers, parents of special needs or any child, and administrators…. new teachers as well as veterans will find this information beneficial."
Deanna Gooch, Maize Middle School Assistant Principal, School Improvement Coordinator
