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 ultimate 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 theoretical foundations of inclusive education and general guidelines on key concepts: universal design for learning, response to intervention, alternate assessment, and more. Then you'll go inside three model classrooms—Grades 1, 3, and 5—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, and shares a sample support schedule and concrete strategies for helping the student reach their goals.
  • Eight sample lesson plans for teaching core academic areas (ELA, math, science, and social studies) and specials (art, physical education, music, and technology). Each plan gives you learning objectives, preparation steps, sample scripts, and step-by-step teaching guidelines.
  • Dozens of specific inclusive practices, adaptable for any classroom, to support individual students and groups. (Also available in the appendix as a convenient 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.


INCLUDES:
  • 60 student snapshots
  • 24 sample lesson plans

    Nicole Eredics, author of Inclusion in Action: Practical Strategies to Modify Your Curriculum - January 15, 2019
    This comprehensive resource is a must-have for educators looking to effectively teach in today's inclusive classrooms!
    Kathie Snow, author, Disability is Natural: Revolutionary Common Sense for Raising Successful Children with Disabilities - January 11, 2019
    “Picture Inclusion! can generate giant steps toward inclusive classrooms for all. The ‘snapshots’ are incredibly helpful and the downloads offered provide powerful tools. With great caring, the authors gently debunk long-held myths and clearly demonstrate how and why inclusive education benefits not only students, but teachers, too. And who doesn't want to be a better teacher?
    Belva Collins, Professor Emeritus at University of North Carolina at Charlotte - December 13, 2018
    The authors of this book provide valuable information on how to include every single student (without or without a disability) in an inclusive classroom environment. This book is a true treasure for teachers who want to be inclusive but do not know how. Included are realistic examples of diverse classrooms with templates on how to identify supports for all students, provide flexible grouping, and write standards-based lesson with differentiated instruction across the curriculum.
    Cheryl Jorgensen, inclusive education consultant & author of It’s More Than “Just Being In:” Creating Authentic Inclusion for Students with Complex Support Needs - December 12, 2018
    Will undoubtedly provide readers with a clear picture of what authentic inclusion looks like. I'll be recommending this book to all the schools with whom I work!
