This completely revised and updated new edition shows ways to adapt a classroom in order to provide the individualized attention students need for academic and social success. Key topics include curricular adaptations (changing the lessons taught), instructional adaptations (changing how the lessons are taught), and ecological adaptations (changing where, when, and with whom the lessons are taught). Modifying Schoolwork is part of a five-book set designed to help teachers quickly and effectively implement inclusive practices. These practical, easy-to-read guides summarize current research and outline field-tested techniques. Each book includes photocopiable forms and discussions of assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation procedures for elementary, middle, and secondary schools.
