Teaching Exceptional Children and Adolescents: A Canadian Casebook, Second Canadian Edition

by Nancy Lynn Hutchinson

Appropriate for courses in Teaching Educational Learners, The Psychology of Exceptional Children, Mainstreaming, Inclusion, and Inclusive Education at colleges and universities. Teaching Exceptional Children and A Canadian Casebook, Second Edition, brings to teacher education challenging dilemmas based on the experiences of beginning and experienced teachers in Canadian classrooms. Twenty-two cases focus on teaching exceptional learners in inclusive classrooms in elementary and secondary schools. These Dilemma cases pose challenging, realistic situations without obvious right answers. Teacher candidates are stimulated to think like teachers. For candidates without practicum experience, case discussions serve as preparation to meet these challenges in a classroom. Issues of equity, cultural diversity, and child abuse arise in some cases.

Reading for an Additional Qualification course I am taking. The case studies are relevant and detailed, and often challenging to analyze. Worth the read for anyone looking to get more insight into the world of Special Education and teaching exceptional students.

A good book for groups of teachers or student teachers who want to generate discussion around supporting students with special needs. There was a good diversity of cases and plenty of references for further information. Definitely more for group study than individual professional development.
