Contemporary Practices in Special Education serves as a reader-friendly text that is intended to inform future educators, various pre-service teachers and those wishing to delve deeper into the growing, evolving field of education, specifically specialized learning. From evaluations to behavior management to instructional differentiation, the book covers several aspects of education that are ever-present and ever-changing. As we refine our repertoire of knowledge in education and the didactic scope of our practices, we can hone in on the ways in which we all approach education as a totality.
The activities within the text are indicative of reflective practices, allowing those who read to use metacognition in order to access meaningful connections to the terminology, and to root educational thoughts into reality-based, well-researched contexts. A multitude of professionals and institutions are noted throughout the text for their invaluable and viable contributions to the field, as we all know... it truly takes a village to educate our students. They are the future.
