Collaboration and co-teaching are concepts that have long been central
to inclusive education. More recently, evidence-based and high-leverage
practices (EBPs and HLPs) have gained recognition as highly effective
tools to improve student learning and behavior, in both general and
special education classrooms.
In this reader-friendly text, two of the nation's top experts in
co-teaching provide a unique guide to implementing EBPs and HLPs through
collaborative teaming practices. Melissa Jenkins and Wendy Murawski
position collaboration as the bridge by which both HLPs and EBPs can be
more effectively utilized for the success of all students in the
classroom. Filled with strategies, practical examples, reflection
questions, and tools like decision-making flow charts, their easy-to-use
handbook belongs on the desk of every teacher working in an inclusive
environment.
