Almost 90% of special education teachers work with disabled students in a general education classroom. In this guide, Haager (reading and learning disabilities, California State U., Los Angeles) and Klingner (bilingual education, U. of Colorado, Boulder) offer those teachers practical suggestions for enhancing learning in the general classroom at the elementary and secondary levels. The text focuses on high incidence disabilities--learning disabilities, mild mental retardation and emotional disorders--and emphasizes literacy development and classroom-based assessment. It includes descriptions of evidence-based practices and analyses of studies regarding inclusive education. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
