Special Programs in Regular Schools: Historical Foundations, Standards, and Contemporary Issues

Rating:
Summary: Informative, insightful, highly recommended.
Review: In Special Programs In Regular Schools: Historical Foundations, Standards And Contemporary Issues, co-authors and education specialists Sally Zepeda and Michael Langenbach cover a wide range of programs, activities, and departments not usually considered "core" curriculum. There is an emphasize on the importance of these programs for a child's overall schooling; a multi-disciplinary approach to considering all of a student's needs; and self-contained chapters enabling readers to choose topics that are relevant to their particular situation as educators and administrators. With it's "reader friendly" format and organization, Special Programs In Regular Schools provides an informative, insightful, and highly recommended survey of the Goals 2000: Educate America Act and its implications for educational policy and practice in the nation's schools.
