Summary: practical, useful, well written, insightful.
Review: I will be using this text for my graduate and undergraduate courses. It provides one of the best descriptions of an inclusive school environment that I have encounter in all the textbooks that I have reviewed. There are many practical tips and strategies for meeting the special learning needs of a variety of populations. It promotes a child-centered philosophy pervades. This is a great professional resource for anyone who wants to get a good overview of inclusive education.

Summary: Looking for help with inclusive education?
Review: This book is filled with ideas on how to practically meet the needs of inclusive education. "Stepping Stones" give suggested activities to find how "inclusive" your school is and ways to collaborate with other individuals within your school and community on the road to inclusive schools. This would be a useful tool to educators and parents, to discover ways to adapt academic instruction to meet the needs of all students, both general and special education.

Summary: An important book for teachers
Review: We bought this book for all the schools in a New York City district (33) and principals and teachers have been raving about it. The text has so many examples from real classrooms that teachers are excited about trying some of the strategies the authors explain.

I was surprised at the level of detail and specificity included and am eager to see what my preservice students think of the book.
