Description: This unique resource asserts - and demonstrates - that all students benefit from the social opportunities and academic expectations of high school. Restructuring High Schools for All Students provides numerous strategies that readers can apply in their own schools - concrete information on creating a collaborative environment, rethinking staff roles, and designing an inclusive curriculum. And, using real-life examples, it shows how self-determination, transition planning, and other special education practices can be broadened to work in general education settings.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
