About This Book
Distance education services are an effective way to meet the needs of students with disabilities, but few special educators get the preparation they need to conduct high-quality instruction remotely. All the fundamentals are in this one-of-a-kind guide, the first dedicated book on distance learning for special educators.
With contributions from more than 35 experienced educators, this guide covers all types of distance learning from Grades PreK through 12âboth real-time and asynchronous, from higher-tech online teaching to instruction with prepared materials. Special educators will get foundational knowledge on the principles and recommended practices of virtual learning, and then discover specific strategies for delivering behavioral, academic, and social supports at a distance. Up-to-date research blends seamlessly with practical action steps, giving educators a reliable and immediately useful guide to the most successful virtual learning practices.
Required reading for both pre- and in-service special education teachers, this timely book clarifies what effective and engaging distance education looks like from preschool through high schoolâand how to maximize its benefits for students with a wide range of disabilities.
