Building Blocks for Teaching Young Children in Inclusive Settings
About this book
See what's new in the fourth edition!
Prepare early childhood educators to teach all children in inclusive settings with the fourth edition of this bestselling guidebook—enhanced with new content, new topics, and more tools for planning effective instruction.
Like the groundbreaking previous editions, this updated Building Blocks guide gives pre- and inservice teachers three types of practical, evidence-based inclusion strategies: curriculum modifications, embedded learning opportunities, and child-focused instructional strategies. Educators will learn how to apply these three strategies for the benefit of all children; review the latest research that supports the Building Blocks model; and find ready-to-use tips and guidance on key topics, from fostering friendships to promoting positive behavior. New reproducible forms support planning and assessment, and seven training modules make it easy to teach the Building Blocks framework in college courses and professional development sessions.
Equally useful as a student-friendly textbook and a go-to guide for practicing educators, this is a resource readers will return to again and again for proven, easy-to-use strategies that support all young learners.
