Teaching in Today's Inclusive Classroom: A Universal Design for Learning Approach

From an overview of effective assessment approaches, to the selection of instructional interventions to meet the needs of all learners while addressing the individual needs of students with disabilities, to the examination of the learning environments (academic, physical, and social) to identify potential areas for change, the authors show preservice teachers how to identify accommodations and supports that can be integrated in instructional planning and classroom environments to better meet all student needs. [...] the authors examine the impact of behavior on instruction and learning in regard to identification and assessment of behavioral issues in order to integrate positive behavioral supports to allow increased engagement for all learners.
