"Exceptional Students: Preparing Teachers for the 21st Century" provides balanced coverage of the foundations of exceptionalities future teachers need to know to understand their students and responsibilities. The second edition has been updated to reflect the role of the special educator, while continuing to address the role of the general educator in serving special populations.
Starts slowly with a general introduction to teaching collaboration about exceptional students (students with special needs). It is a well-organized required text with summaries, leading and follow up questions, and a systematic chapter structure, making it easy to review and take notes.
