| Description: |
"The purpose of this book is to help preschool administrators achieve the appropriate educational placement of young children with disabilities in inclusive preschool settings. This handbook guides preschool administrators through the development of effective inclusion policies and a plan of action for their successful implementation. The authors cover all aspects of establishing a placement process that complies with IDEA requirements, including introductory information on related research and policy, ways to identify and overcome challenges, professional development, evidence-based practice for successful inclusion, and quality indicators of inclusion. The final chapter shows readers how to pull these concepts together and put them in the context of each child's unique situation and needs to make the best placement decisions. The book includes appendices throughout the book to help administrators implement preschool inclusion"-- |
| Synopsis: |
Filled with tips, tools, and strategies, this book is the comprehensive, practical toolbox preschool administrators need to implement early childhood inclusion through systems-level change. Inclusion is clearly linked with better outcomes for young children - but recent reports from the US Department of Education show the practice has grown by just 5% over the past 27 years. This is the how-to book preschool administrators, school leaders, and child care directors need to step up the progress of early childhood inclusion through big-picture, systems-level change. Shaped by feedback from a nationwide survey of IDEA Part B Coordinators who shared their real-life inclusion challenges, this is your comprehensive toolbox of problem-solving tips, evidence-based practices, and practical checklists and handouts. You'll learn how to overcome the challenges to a high-quality inclusive program, and you'll create a solid action plan for building and maintaining a successful program where all children learn and grow.GET THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO:* solve common challenges to inclusion through new policies and procedures* establish a strong inclusion team to make collaborative decisions* implement an action plan for inclusion - and measure its effects* increase access, participation, and supports for children with disabilities* help teachers use evidence-based practices like RTI and differentiated instruction* develop effective teacher professional development practices* make sound decisions about placement for each individual child PRACTICAL MATERIALS: Reproducible planning forms and tools (see sidebar); more than 100 PowerPoint slides (available online) to help structure professional development events; tips and lessons from effective school reform efforts across the country; application and reflection questions for independent study and coursework.
