The Paraprofessional's Guide to the Inclusive Classroom

This accessible, research-based workbook helps paraprofessionals and educators work together in understanding their respective roles and responsibilities to create effective inclusive classroom environments. This timely update of a bestselling book will help readers understand and respond to requirements for having highly qualified personnel in every classroom. This book examines the roles and responsibilities of paraprofessionals in inclusive classrooms by providing introductory information that is needed for the paraprofessional, the general educator, and the special educator to better understand one another's roles and responsibilities. The book includes many helpful forms to photocopy, personal stories for peers, activities, and planning guides, and the new edition has a stronger emphasis on middle and secondary school examples, material on paraprofessional advocacy, and new curricular and instructional support objectives.
