If we?re to ensure that adolescents with mild disabilities achieve the very same gains as their peers, we must first teach them how to learn. Here?s a one-stop guide for getting started, pairing the very best instructional methods with assessments and IEP goals so all students can be independent learners.

Driven by research, this indispensible resource features:

• Evidence-based strategies for teaching vocabulary, reading, written language, math, and science, as well as study skills, textbook skills, and self-regulation
• Clear presentation that describes strategies in context
• Informal assessments for every content area or skill addressed
• Case studies that link assessment results, IEP goals, and learning strategies
• Application activities with questions and suggested responses
