It would make a great resource for general education teachers as well. I appreciated that the book covered every area of academics that would normally come up with special education students. I really like this book as a comprehensive resource for strategies to teach to special education students. I felt the book was written for people like me, struggling to do the very best for my students to make their time in school truly of benefit.</em>--Cheryl Moss, Special Education Teacher (8/3/2012 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>This is a rare find--a book for practitioners that actually stays on task throughout and provides an abundance of teaching strategies. As a veteran of the classroom, it is nice to find strategies that are useful and can be readily implemented.</em>--Sally Jeanne Coghlan, Special Education Teacher (8/3/2012 12:00:00 AM)<br>
