Inclusion Strategies for Young Children Summary

Inclusion Strategies for Young Children: A Resource Guide for Teachers, Child Care Providers, and Parents by Lorraine O. Moore

This book makes inclusion a much easier way to work with children than the resource room of the past. It places the responsibility of adaptation on the teachers and the school system versus the old method of pounding a square peg into a round hole. I truly appreciated the detailed description of the learning cycle and will use it in my own lesson plans beginning tomorrow!
-Stacey B. Ferguson, Multiage Teacher
North Bay Elementary School, Bay Saint Louis, MS

Concrete methods for enhancing young children's growth and development!
