In this inspiring book--the result of a 2-year action research project--the teachers and staff of the acclaimed Purcell Marian High School share their proven strategies, procedures, and practices for supporting students with mild to severe disabilities in inclusive high schools. Readers will travel into the classrooms of this successful inner-city school and hear its teachers tell, in their own words, how they adapt curricula, manage behavior, design appropriate accommodations, perform alternate assessments, and incorporate the amendments included under IDEA 1997. Through these real-life examples from a school that celebrates human diversity, educators will discover how they too can create a safe and positive setting where all students learn, no matter their ability.
