Title: Let's Be Friends
Description: Publisher description: This book describes methods of support and intervention teachers can use to create social inclusion in preschool and the primary grades. Combining current knowledge of general early childhood education and early childhood special education, this unique volume uses actual classroom observations to illustrate recommended teaching strategies designed to be used in the inclusionary classroom; explains a wide variety of strategies ranging from environmental arrangement, on-the-spot teaching, and cooperative learning, to more intensive, individually-targeted interventions; describes common needs and interventions for children experiencing particular challenges and disabilities, such as shyness, aggressive behavior, visual and hearing impairment, and autism; portrays reflective teaching and professional collaboration as frameworks for teachers' decision making about intervention; and provides exercises at the end of each chapter to help readers reflect on and apply what they read.
