Summary: The quest for inclusion
Comment: • "Big ideas," concepts and principles that will be used repeatedly throughout a specific course, function as the building blocks of that basic understanding, making learning easier in subsequent classes and grade levels.

• Once the teacher has identified the curriculum's big ideas, methods of supporting the student through the learning process can be devised. Just like a builder's scaffolding, the "mediated scaffolding" the curricular materials book series advocates is a temporary structure that puts the teacher to work helping the student make cognitive connections. It can be gradually taken away as the student starts learning more independently.

• Such supports can take different shapes, but graphic presentations of the information may be one of the most powerful.

• Presenting lessons in a way that shows students the relationship between one piece of information and another, rather than as a laundry list of facts or concepts, makes learning easier for students with learning disabilities. In addition, such graphical supports -- such as a graphic organizer worksheet, with the spaces left empty -- prompt the students to take notes and put the information in their own words. Such participation dramatically enhances the learning process.

Just a couple of points from this very good book that should be in the hip pocket, or at least on the bookshelf, of teachers, facilitators, or administrators involved in implementing special education in the regular education classroom.
