Description: What Really Works with Exceptional Learners by Wendy W Murawski This book provides personal experiences, best practices, and deeper resources for educators who work with students with special needs. Chapters discuss how special educational needs affect reading and math instruction, accommodations, culturally responsive practices, legal issues, home-school collaboration, and more. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book is based on practical experience from both the editors and the authors, as well as updated research and information on best teaching practices, evidence-based practices, high-leverage practices and current literature. It addresses a breadth of topics related to special education such as forms of pedagogy, culturally responsive practices, class management, accommodations and other critical areas. Each chapter is presented in a practical and easy-to-access format for busy, working professionals. The book is designed as a useful introductory text for practitioners and professionals who do not have a lot of experience with special education but could also be useful to more experienced teachers as a reference for practical applications in the field. What Really Works for Special Education Students is based on practical experience from both editors and the authors (all of whom are teacher educators and well known in the field), as well as updated research & information on best teaching practices, evidence-based practices, high-leverage practices, and current literature. It addresses a breadth of topics related to Special Education, from content areas (e.g., literacy, math), disability areas (e.g., deaf, learning disabilities, ELL), pedagogical areas (e.g., use of technology, culturally responsive practices, class management, accommodations), and other critical areas (e.g., legal issues, home to school collaboration). Each chapter is presented in a practical and easy-to-access format for busy, working professionals. The book is designed so that it is useful as a "101" reference for practitioners and professionals who have no experience with special education and are working with students with disabilities for the first time, while at the same time, the very nature of its practical application will ensure that faculty who have been teaching for years will want this book as a reference to help improve their current practice.What Really Works for Special Education Students is based on practical experience from both editors and the authors (all of whom are teacher educators and well known in the field), as well as updated research & information on best teaching practices, evidence-based practices, high-leverage practices, and current literature.

Author Biography Wendy W. Murawski, PhD, is the Michael D. Eisner Endowed Chair and Executive Director for the Center for Teaching and Learning at California State University, Northridge (CSUN). She is a tenured Full Professor in the Department of Special Education, a past president of the Teacher Education Division (TED) for the Council for Exceptional Children, a former Teacher Educator of the Year for the state of California, and the recent recipient of the Outstanding Faculty Award for her university. She has authored 10 books, as well as numerous chapters, articles, and handbooks in the areas of co-teaching, collaboration, inclusion, differentiation, and teaching. Wendy owns her own educational consulting company (2 TEACH LLC), loves to travel and speak nationally and internationally, and is a frequently requested keynote speaker. This year, her 14-year old son Kiernan started high school and, as a former HS teacher, this petrifies her. Wendy and her fiance, Donald, are trying to ignore the reality of passing time through travel, house projects, outdoor BBQs and movie nights, and even working out. Its not helping. Kathy Lynn Scott, PhD, is the Center Administrative Analyst for the Center for Teaching and Learning at California State University, Northridge. Kathy was trained as an old school darkroom photographer, but she fell in love with all things to do with education. After conducting research on art education and adult education in England and coordinating research on learning disabilities in New Jersey, Kathy jumped from coast to coast, finding a new home with the CTL where she gets to do a little bit of everything related to education. When not acting as the "glue" for the CTL (as Wendy calls her), shes happiest just relaxing at home, learning to cook new dishes, watching Jeopardy!, and shouting out the (not always correct) answers.
