Recenzii
As a former classroom teacher and teacher educator, I am pleased to endorse Dr. Hooper and Dr. Gentry's book, Understanding Special Education: An Examination of the Responsibilities through Case Studies. This text offers a clear understanding of the issues surrounding children with special needs. Through an inclusive format, Dr. Hooper and Dr. Gentry provide a framework that reflects the classroom inclusive model. They guide readers in putting theory into practice in areas such as behavior, IEPs, instruction, and working with parents, to name a few. This text is an excellent resource and learning tool for both student and practitioner, and I highly recommend it for both.
Dr. Hooper and Dr. Gentry have really met a distinct need in teacher preparation or in-service in their Understanding Special Education: An Examination of the Responsibilities through Case Studies. As they point out, "Real life is messy." Helping teachers maneuver through the complicated task of teaching requires activities that enhance those higher level thinking skills essential to successfully enhance instruction for all learners. The case studies and activities offered in this book guide teachers through a complicated process using real-life scenarios. I highly recommend this text to those working in both the pre-service and in-service areas of teacher preparation.
This book has a goal: to train and "create relevance" for general and special education teachers on critical issues that they will face in the classroom. This is a must-read for teacher preparation programs looking to engage candidates in friendly conversation about issues faced in schools..The use of real world cases and scenarios provide a level of authenticity that will create genuine dialogue in the classroom.The authors' coverage of special education law and processes, along with the case studies, makes this a perfect textbook for beginning special education training classes-preparing both general and special education teachers.
Drs. Gentry and Hooper have developed a much needed and critical resource for preparing teacher candidates to be effective educators in the 21st century. Understanding Special Education: An Examination of the Responsibilities through Case Studies translates the numerous mandates required per special education legislation into applicable concepts illustrated through authentic scenarios pre-service teachers will soon encounter in their own classrooms. By explaining and illustrating application of special education law using rich case studies, Gentry and Hooper demystify the entire IEP process, addressing important topics like the pre-referral process and eligibility, co-teaching and collaboration, behavior management, assessment, and perhaps most significant given the fundamental ideology behind special education law in the United States: engaging and empowering parents as advocates for their children. While this text was developed to supplement college level introduction to special education courses, I believe it will quickly become a valued resource for in-service teachers and administrators as well.
