Including Special Needs Students in Standards-Based Reform: A Report on McREL's Diversity Roundtable III

 
 
Product Description  

  		This report raises awareness about issues special needs students face and provides models for acquiring knowledge and skills to improve instruction for these students. By following the specific suggestions in this report, educators can better meet the needs of special needs students and, thus, help them achieve greater academic and personal success.

This document is a compilation of the papers that served as the catalyst for discussions at the third McREL diversity roundtable, held September 14–15, 2000, in Denver, Colorado.

It is our hope that this document will serve as a catalyst for further thought about the issues, provide a way to begin discussions with colleagues, and stimulate changes in practice and policy that translate into improved learning for special needs students.
