This book was read and studied by the special education teachers last year, so I was excited to read it now that I am also teaching in a special education classroom. This book is written for sped and general education who are in general education classrooms, which is different from my self-contained classroom, however there were still many helpful ideas and resources that I can use.

I read this for professional development. It's a well-written introduction to providing students with specially-designed instruction.

I continue to think that this is the wave of the future; eventually, all students will receive instruction that engages them and meets their needs.

This book did a good job outlining the definition of SDI, what it is not, and reasons to support the practice. However I found it repetitive and lacking strong suggestions for what SDI is and does look like.
