The authors delineate the ethical issues most salient and pressing to special education and provide a philosophically grounded framework for their discussion. The book presents 35 real-life cases that raise personal, institutional, and policy issues. This approach allows students to reason and collaborate about ethical issues rather than simply to master a set of principles and precepts. The book emphasizes the perspectives and predicaments of special educators, but is germane to the professional lives of a much wider range of individuals including classroom teachers involved in mainstreaming, administrators and school psychologists involved in negotiating IEPs.
Among the issues highlighted by the cases are: Due process • The distribution of educational resources • Institutional unresponsiveness • Professional relationships • Conflicts among parents and teachers • Confidentiality.

Ethics of Special Education (Professional Ethics in Education Series)

The linguistically diverse population is the fastest growing segment of the student population. Educators are beginning to realize that a "models" approach to designing programmes for linguistically diverse students does not work, whereas a decision-making approach accommodates the variety of needs presented by these students. This volume offers the integration of the knowledge regarding English as a second language and bilingual instruction across the curriculum, presented with a process for incorporating them into a complete programme that lies precisely within the goals and realities of schools. It should prove useful to professors and graduate students of educational administration, teacher education, students of bilingual and ESL courses, inservice practitioners, curriculum developers, policy makers, and professionals in bilingual administration.

Restructuring Schools for Linguistic Diversity: Linking Decision Making to Effective Programs (Language and Literacy Series)

This bestselling book addresses a major instructional and policy concern in public education―how personnel and resources can best be utilized to develop strong instructional programs for a culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) student population. This meticulously updated second edition incorporates the experience that the authors have gained since the publication of the first edition in 1997. The changes not only reflect the current state of affairs in education, but also what has been learned from the many schools that have used the framework successfully. 
Useful to prospective and current teachers and essential for educational administrators and policymakers, this new edition includes: 
<ul>
<li> Activities in every chapter based on the authors’ professional development work in schools.</li>
<li> New templates, tools, exercises, and case studies.</li>
<li> A new chapter on standards-based differentiated instruction and assessment.</li>
<li> Attention to populations that have increased in U.S. schools, such as immigrant refugees from around the globe.</li>
<li> New features to support teacher study groups, such as guided discussion questions.</li>
</ul>
