Learning from Contemporary Classrooms

Addressing both process and outcome, this book provides a framework for developing inclusive high schools by taking detailed account of high schools that have struggled, strategized, and ultimately achieved success. Themes discussed include:
  • building crucial school-based relationships

  • communicating responsibilities
  • preparing for the classroom
  • establishing continuity
  • planning lessons and adapting curricula
  • redistributing school resources

High school teachers, administrators, university faculty, and parents will recognize the common challenges in adopting inclusive practices and find proven strategies that can be used as starting points for solutions.
