INCLUSIVE EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION - A COLLABORATIVE

While many are calling for collaboration to achieve inclusion, few are preparing teachers with practical methods on “how to” collaborate effectively with others. Emphasizing collaboration and communication techniques, 'Inclusive Early Childhood Education: A Collaborative Approach' examines how to work with young children who have disabilities within typical preschool and day care settings. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the authors balance both the early childhood and early childhood special education perspectives and present strategies for creating a classroom where all children can learn. Cultural and linguistic diversity is discussed throughout, and authentic stories (based on real classroom scenarios) provide a context for chapter content.
