This straightforward and memorable approach helps future teachers determine how, when, and with whom to use the proven academic and behavioral interventions by breaking down the steps taken to modify instruction. This framework is used throughout the text and moves beyond a theoretical idea as it walks readers through scenarios and applies each step of the framework providing concrete examples and solutions.

  • Opening Challenge Feature: Two chapter-opening case studies, one for elementary grades and one for secondary grades, describe a specific teaching challenge at each school level, which is then revised throughout the chapter. Students are asked to reflect on their knowledge of the subject matter before reading the chapter, with Reflection Questions at the end.

  • Tech Notes features provide readers with information about assistive and instructional technologies that can be employed with students who have learning or behavioral issues.

  • Working Together features offer practical advice on how an idea or concept can be taught using a collaborative approach that involves other school professionals and family members.
