Reviews for Specially Designed Instruction: The Definitive Guide

With so many different approaches to instruction, teachers will learn how to position their advocacy for specially designed instruction (SDI) by understanding what SDI entails compared to other types of pedagogy. This guide provides teachers with critical knowledge of SDI and step-by-step suggestions for teachers on how to provide SDI to each child on their caseload. -- MICHAEL SOLIS * ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR, SCHOOL OF EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, RIVERSIDE * The range of case examples helps show educators how to meaningfully change practices to better meet the individual needs of students. The focus on using data to plan, implement, and evaluate progress is key and its emphasis of looking not only at the individual student but also the schoolwide performance can help administrators think better about how resources are being allocated and used. -- BETH HARN * PROFESSOR OF SPECIAL EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY OF OREGON *
