This text is based on the most recent special education research. It not only provides the model, but also demonstrates applications of the model to a variety of skill and content areas. The new edition includes general updates on special education issues, new material on assessment and high-stakes testing, and information on the changing orientation from mainstreaming to inclusive settings. Also, each chapter now has an inclusion feature and a technology feature.  It would benefit students entering student teaching or practicum assignments, as well as veterans of special education. An Instructor's Manual is available on CD ROM.
