With constrained budgets and burgeoning needs for students who require special services, the typical administrator often struggles with complex if not agonizing life-altering decisions. Layered upon this reality is a massive number of regulations, codes, laws, standards, and paperwork that must be followed and attended to.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Fortunately, two retired administrators of special education have written a book on the administrator’s role that reads like an encyclopedia but exudes warmth and passion on most every page. This impressive book brings the reader inside the important and mercurial world of special education, presenting a wealth of critical information while simultaneously speaking to the reader with unabashed candor and humility. I particularly enjoyed reading the anecdotes that speak to the struggles and triumphs each encountered along the way. Students who require special education services often need strong voices advocating for their needs. The world is a better place because of the voices of the authors.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e I highly recommend this book to anyone who works in or is involved in special education.

Grounded in integrity, and keeping students at the forefront of their work, the authors have created a practical guide for how to approach and manage the all-encompassing role of administrator of special education. Starting with a refresher on special education law and moving into a myriad of topics which fall under the responsibility of director, this resource is invaluable to all those working in the field of special education.\u003c\/em\u003e\" -- Tamara Barrera, M.Ed.\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eI have the good fortune to have been mentored by Bob McArdle in my career as an administrator of special education and have worked with Jim over the last 11 years as a senior district leader. What a benefit to the larger community of special education administrators that they can now access the collective knowledge and experience that the authors have in the field through this book! The role of the administrator of special education can be a lonely one and singular in its nature: The knowledge and skills required to do this job well are not often shared by anyone else in the district—not principals, curriculum directors, or many superintendents. This book offers insight into everything the role entails and how to lead the work.\u003c\/em\u003e\" -- Alison Elmer, MEd\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eIt does not take long for the reader to realize that these seasoned special educators have the knowledge, skills, experience, and dispositions to provide a treasure trove of useful information for the novice or veteran educator, whether they are a general education teacher, special education teacher, principal, superintendent, or special education administrator. Ealey and McArdle leave no stone unturned and thoroughly address such topics as programs and services, discipline, budget development, professional development, supervision, and evaluation.

Challenges abound—conflicts with parents, teachers, and other administrators; changes to department of education regulations and guidance; litigation looming behind every decision—and these are just a few. Perhaps the biggest, ever-present challenge is balancing advocacy for students with disabilities and the fiduciary responsibility to the school district.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But help is on the way: Earley and McArdle have written a book that provides aid to both new and veteran special education administrators. Based on their extensive 100+ years of experience as special education directors, they offer guidance in how to navigate the passage between the Scylla and Charybdis of conflicting demands. From compliance to best practice, they offer tips and strategies for dealing with both the long-term and day-to-day challenges for special education directors. There is a dearth of similar literature, and I would highly recommend their book as a text in higher education courses, an item in the library of special education organizations, and most important, as a resource on the desk of every special education administrator.\u003c\/em\u003e\"  -- Edward McCaul, EdD\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eThis is a succinct guidebook that distills many years of practical experience and provides the reader with concrete guidance on the various aspects of the role of administrator of special education. The authors address not only the anticipated issues associated with the position, but also nicely weave in helpful advice on other potentially overlooked yet essential skills and actions necessary to be a successful administrator in public education. This book is an excellent resource that will be of great benefit to anyone contemplating or beginning their career as an administrator, and it will greatly assist them and even experienced administrators of special education in confidently navigating the myriad issues to be addressed in that role.\u003c\/em\u003e\" -- Thomas Nuttall, Esquire\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eThe provision of special education services is essential to ensure that all school-age students receive a free and appropriate public education.

They share strategies that result in services that are responsive to student needs and the ever-present decision on placement in the educational setting in which the students can make effective educational progress. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eI enthusiastically recommend this book for school administrators and principals, directors of special education, and as a text for undergraduate and graduate students in special education courses.\u003c\/em\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e -- Don Ricciato, PhD\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eThere are no better Administrators of Special Education (ASEs) than Jim Earley and Bob McArdle, and now their wisdom is available to any educator  who reads their book. Drawing on their decades of experience in special education leadership, they have created a thorough and practical guide that provides a wealth of information, useful advice, and most importantly, ways to assess difficult situations and arrive at reasonable and equitable solutions. The book is a master class in identifying core issues and applying useful approaches to think about and solve many seemingly intractable problems. Any professional involved in special education will benefit from its clear and well-formulated approach to meeting the needs of students with special needs while also addressing the needs of the numerous stake holders in special education. \u003c\/em\u003eA Practical Approach to Special Education Administration\u003cem\u003e is long overdue in the field and will have significant impact.\u003c\/em\u003e\" -- Joe Ristuccia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I read [A Practical Approach to Special Education Administration] almost immediately, from cover to cover, with a pencil in my hand, underlining and making notes as I went.

So what does this mean in practice for you as a class or subject teacher? Essentially, it requires you to understand every individual's needs, have a range of relevant knowledge and skills and have the confidence to try out some new approaches. This book is your essential guide to meeting these requirements.  The Teacher's Guide to SEN details the areas of need teachers are most likely to encounter, including: speech, language and communication needs (SLCN); autism (or ASD); moderate learning difficulties (MLD); specific learning difficulties (SpLD), including dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia; social, emotional and mental health needs; and physical needs, including visual impairment (VI), hearing impairment (HI) and physical disability. It also provides a useful overview of the many potentially unfamiliar acronyms used in SEN. Special educational needs and disability (SEND) is an umbrella terms which covers a varied array of different needs. They may impact upon learning and cognition, behaviour, social interactions, or an individual's ability to access the curriculum and certain activities in the same way as their peers. With the appropriate support, these needs need not be a barrier to learning, as this book demonstrates.  The Teacher's Guide to SEN offers practical hands-on strategies to ensure high-quality teaching for all, together with key facts, real-life case studies and questions for reflection. The comprehensive advice includes: defining special educational needs; understanding your responsibilities; identifying pupils with SEN and putting support in place as part of the graduated approach; contributing to SEN reviews and education, health and care plans (EHC plans); making reasonable adjustments in the classroom; delivering inclusive, high-quality teaching for all; raising expectations; classroom strategies, focused on feedback, planning, questioning, modelling and scaffolding learning; developing relationships with pupils and their families; effective partnership working with teaching assistants, parents and outside agencies; and tracking and reviewing progress and provision.  Relevant to all primary and secondary practitioners, this is an essential point of reference for busy teachers, including trainees, NQTs or indeed any practitioner who would like to refresh their knowledge or gather some new ideas to try in the classroom.","brand":"Crown House Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48741384356183,"sku":"9781785830259","price":22.01,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781785830259.jpg?v=1720057414"},{"product_id":"self-study-of-language-and-literacy-teacher-education-practices-culturally-and-linguistically-diverse-contexts-9781787545380","title":"Self-Study of Language and Literacy Teacher","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume explores how Self-Study in Teacher Education Practices (S-STEP) contribute to teacher education in culturally and linguistically diverse communities and contexts.

Fueled by disaster capitalism and the corporatization, Mac draws on DisCrit and critical disability studies to carefully and thoughtfully lay bare the illusion of school choice for minorized and disabled students. I can’t wait to teach this important and timely book. -- Beth A. Ferri, Ph.D. (Professor, Syracuse University)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a time of increasing movement towards privatization of schools without critical examinations of the impact of that privatization (and the subsequent standardization of notions of “success” and “achievement”) on many subgroups of students, our field needs more thoughtful analyses that encourage deep interrogations of the impact of charter schools on our most vulnerable (and often most overlooked) groups of students. Dr. Sylvia Mac has written a beautiful ethnographic case study of a small charter school, exploring neoliberal ideologies as they intersect with notions of inclusivity and equity for disabled and neurodivergent students of color living in low-income situations. Her book provides important analyses of legacies of inequality throughout the histories of the school choice movement in education and the evolving frameworks for education of students with disabilities; leading to a deep analysis of ways in which ideals of equity and inclusion in a small charter school are irreconcilable with the realities of neoliberal ideas of success within a market of “choice.” Dr. Mac provides important recommendations for policy makers, teacher educators and researchers interested in best supporting historically marginalized students to truly more towards more egalitarian and supportive educational settings.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Betina Hsieh, Ph.D. (Associate Professor of Teacher Education, California State University, Long Beach)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSylvia Mac debuts the intersection of disability, inclusive education and neoliberalism in a critical ethnographic portrayal of a small California charter school. Mac critically questions the concept of inclusion in this setting, showing that neoliberal values and inclusion are mutually exclusive. Inclusion conceals many social issues and neoliberal values, such as independence, profit accumulation and competition, which Mac unfolds as she shares her interviews, observations, and review of school documents. Mac deftly illustrates how free market reform has raised the ante for low income, especially non-native English-speaking children of color to succeed in an increasingly competitive and standardized schooling environment. We feel Santiago’s abandonment by special education staff in the study skills class when he says he’s “lost.” The general teachers are in a similar situation without help. In the end, children who need differentiated instruction instead become deficient, instead of the system that labels them as so. \u003cem\u003eNeoliberalism and Inclusive Education\u003c\/em\u003e provides a poignant account of charter schooling, revealing that neoliberal values are smokescreened with cost benefit analyses, strategic plans and educational outcomes, manufacturing failure for the disabled. \u003c\/p\u003e -- Denise Blum, Ph.D. (Associate Professor, Oklahoma State University)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith her unfailingly trenchant analysis, Dr. Mac critiques the deployment of capital and power in the service of neoliberalism against vulnerable and under-represented populations. She brings a critical ethnographic lens on a charter school to address how neoliberal ideology and inclusive education discourses spectacularly fail poor students of color with disabilities, addressing key gaps in what we know about how inclusive education is experienced by underrepresented students.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Shabana Mir, Ph.D. (Associate Professor, American Islamic College, Chicago)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1.

Explaining why certain children are gifted and how giftedness is manifested, each chapter on a specific topic addresses the relevance for children with AD\/HD and Asperger Syndrome. Lovecky guides parents and professionals through methods of diagnosis and advises on how best to nurture individual needs, positive behavior and relationships at home and at school.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLovecky explores concepts such as asynchrony and the effects of such `uneven' development on children, using case studies to illustrate emotional, intellectual, creative and social development. She also highlights the inadequate measures currently in place to assist parents and teachers and goes on to clearly define what is required to understand and help these children so that their needs can be met more positively in the future. Different Minds, with its wealth of practical and background information, is essential reading for all those who live or work with gifted children with attention difficulties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDifferent Minds is an invaluable resource for both professionals and parents. Gifted teens and adults with AS or ADHD will also benefit from reading this book.  It is clearly a labor of love, and we are all lucky to have the resource available. -- The Journal of AEGUS\u003cbr\u003eDifferent Minds is a book that is highly useful for parents and professionals alike. Parents will appreciate Dr. Lovecky's detailed discussions of the challenges of gifted children with 'different minds', her clear writing style, and the wealth of useful information and practical resources she provides. Professional will find a thoughtful discussion of the intersection of AD\/HD, Asperger's Syndrome and non verbal learning disabilities in gifted children, supported by a thorough review of current research. Different Minds is a book that belongs in the library of every professional who works with children with AD\/HD. -- Attention\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is the product of years of observing, assessing, and counseling gifted children in her practice at the Gifted Resource Center of New England. It resulted from the frustration of parents who needed help understanding their children – the giftedness, the uneven development, and the learning difficulties. In response, Lovecky produced a book that “discusses not only the disorders, but also the issue of giftedness and how being gifted amplifies problems or ameliorates then”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParents, teachers and mental health professionals will find clear explanations and useful strategies and recommendations in the book's 500 plus pages... The first three chapters give readers an excellent foundation in giftedness, attention deficit disorder, and Asperger Syndrome. Unlike many authors, Lovecky explores the strengths of gifted kids with these disorders as well as their weaknesses. She also looks at other disorders and learning deficits that might co-exist in these children... Different Minds, a book dense with information, makes the reader work; but it's well worth the effort. Whether you use the book as a reference to read it from cover to cover, you will come away with well researched fact to help you better understand gifted children with attention and learning deficits and many practical strategies for nurturing and teaching them'.\u003c\/p\u003e -- 2e: Twice Exceptional Newsletter\u003cbr\u003eDifferent Minds, Gifted Children with AD\/HD, Asperger Syndrome and Other Learning Deficits is an excellent and highly fascinating book, which covers a very special field in child neuro-psychology and developmental paediatrics. The book has a theme that has not, to my knowledge, been much discussed in the literature. Dr Lovecky gives, from her vast experience in clinical child psychology and from her special interets in gifted children, many instructive examples from actual children in her practice and discusses their cognitive styles, strengths and difficulties. Also the discussion about the relation between NVLD and Asperger syndrome is very useful. The reference list is comprehensive and includes other important literature in the field. There is also a list of useful resource centers for parents, teachers and professionals. I will strongly recommend this book to all these groups. This book will give new insights that will considerably contribute to our understanding of children with different minds. -- European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry\u003cbr\u003eThe text is written in an easily read style with many case studies sprinkled throughout to make this complex subject matte more personal. The book doesn't offer false hopes or instant cures, but neither is it morose reading. One suggestion made seemed to be particularly pertinent - that it is very important for teachers and parents to allow harmless idiosyncrasies. After all, don't we all have these? -- Gifted and Talented Magazine\u003cbr\u003eThe book is an excellent resource for those working with non-average learners. In particular it draws together the different but overlapping strands of these specific diagnoses, and strives to clarify the underlying academic strengths as well as the educational needs of the children. It would be particularly relevant to those working in settings where the learners' abilities and needs are broad ranging, or difficult to define. -- Good Autism Practice\u003cbr\u003eThis is a well-structured book. There are nine chapters; the first gives an overview of gifted children and theories of giftedness. The next two chaoters provide a general description off AD\/HD and Asperger before going on to give detailed information on gifted children with these conditions. The following chapters look at cognitive aspects and learning styles, creativity, emotional intelligence, social cognition and moral development. The final chapters discuss issues around assessment and highlight the resources available. The author also includes useful appendices on diagnostic criteria. -- Community Practitioner\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to case studies and research findings, Different Minds offers practical strategies and ways in which young people can be supported, both to develop their intellectual abilities and to help them feel accepted in society... This is an absorbing read crammed with observation and detail. Did you know, for instance, that difficulties with social interaction increase in line with IQ? Children with higher IQ's (180-plus) find their age peers “a mystery, because they're so different in interests, speed of learning, ability to understand complex material and desire to learn.”...
