Book Description

This title is only available as a loose-leaf version with Pearson eText, or an electronic book. Now in its fourth edition, Inclusion of Exceptional Learners in Canadian Schools is an outstanding introduction to inclusive education in Canada. In keeping with Canada’s commitment to inclusive education, this text examines positive ways of including children of all needs and abilities in the regular classroom. Author and educator, Nancy Hutchinson draws on her extensive experience educating students to help shape the skills and strategies future teachers need to create an inclusive classroom by individualizing learning for each student regardless of their exceptionality. The fourth edition is updated to include new information on legislation and provides new strategies for differentiating learning for Aboriginal students; culturally diverse students; English language learners; and students at risk for a variety of reasons, including poverty, abuse, and divorce. It provides teacher candidates with instructional approaches, approaches using universal design for learning, and differentiating assessment using examples from a range of grades, exceptionalities, and teaching subjects.
