The Preschool Inclusion Toolbox: How to Build and Lead a High-Quality Program

by Erin E. Barton, Barbara J. Smith, Christina L. Salisbury (Foreword)

Inclusion is clearly related to better outcomes for young children—but reports from the US Department of Education show the practice has grown by just 5% over the past 27 years. This is the how-to book preschool administrators, school district leaders, child care directors, and faculty need to step up the progress of early childhood inclusion through big-picture, systems-level change. Shaped by feedback from a nationwide survey of IDEA Part B Preschool Coordinators and local school district leaders who shared their real-life inclusion challenges, this is your comprehensive toolbox of problem-solving tips, evidence-based practices, and practical checklists and handouts. You'll learn how to overcome the challenges to a high-quality inclusive preschool program, and you'll create a solid action plan for building and maintaining a successful program where all children learn and grow together.
GET THE TOOLS YOU NEED PRACTICAL ; tips and lessons from effective school reform efforts across the country; application and reflection questions for independent study and coursework.
