Teaching Kids With Learning Difficulties in the Regular Classroom: Strategies and Techniques Every Teacher Can Use to Challenge and Motivate Struggling Students

by Susan Winebrenner, Pamela Espeland

From the relentless pressure to make sure that all students score at the proficient level on high-stakes tests, to the rigorous requirements of "No Child Left Behind," teachers are being held more accountable than ever before-making this book more important than ever before. A gold mine of practical, easy-to-use teaching methods, strategies, and tips, it helps teachers differentiate the curriculum in all subject areas to meet the needs of all learners-including those labeled "slow," "remedial," or "LD," students of poverty, English language learners, and others who struggle to learn. Full of proven ways to significantly improve learning outcomes for students who score below proficiency levels, this is an essential resource for every educator. Includes reproducibles.

Read this for my first year of teaching. I have to say I've been in education for seven years in a support role. Everything covered in this book is super basic and didn't really help me learn anything I haven't learned from work.

Read this for a class, it had some good ideas. Much better for the elementary crowd than the high schoolers I was working with at the time.

[Becca Nelson · Rating 3 out of 5]

While I did find some useful suggestions, this book seems more directed towards elementary students than junior high or high school.
