Overview

Picture one guidebook that gives you the fundamentals of inclusion, proven practices for teaching everyone, and dozens of student profiles and sample lesson plans. That’s what you’ll get in Picture Inclusion!, your theory-to-practice guide to teaching every learner in a diverse inclusive classroom. You’ll begin with a reader-friendly introduction to the why and how of inclusion in Grades K–5, including the foundations of inclusive education and guidelines on key concepts: universal design for learning, response to intervention, alternate assessment, and more. Then you’ll go inside three model classrooms for an in-depth look at how to support students with a wide range of learning needs. For each model classroom, you’ll find •Snapshots of 20 diverse students and their teacher. Each snapshot introduces you to a student, clarifies their support needs and goals, shows you their IEP or 504 plan (if they have one), and shares a support schedule and concrete strategies for helping the student reach their goals. •Eight sample lesson plans for teaching core academic areas and specials. Each plan gives you learning objectives, preparation steps, sample scripts, and step-by-step teaching guidelines. •Dozens of adaptable inclusive practices to support individual students and groups. (Also available in the appendix as an Inclusive Practices Bank!) Brimming with the practical tools and wisdom you need to create lessons that support every learner, this hands-on, how-to resource will help you move inclusion from a lofty ideal to an everyday reality.
