Now for the first time ever, the bestselling, teacher-trusted "Quick-Guides to Inclusion" are available in a single updated and revised volume -- complete with seven all-new Quick-Guides. A resource for busy K-12 teachers who need fast, friendly, and practical guidance on including students with disabilities in general education classrooms, this photocopiable sourcebook gives educators fully revised, updated contents of all three popular Quick-Guide volumes. Past contributors -- every one a respected inclusion expert -- returned to refresh these Quick-Guides with their latest knowledge and experience.

Each of the 23 Quick-Guides includes easy-to-follow ideas, examples, and tips teachers can put to use immediately in any classroom and on any budget. The sourcebook also provides seven brand-new Quick-Guides on critical topics.
