Teaching Exceptional Children and Adolescents: A Canadian Casebook

Appropriate for courses in Teaching Educational Learners, The Psychology of Exceptional Children, Mainstreaming, Inclusion, and Inclusive Education at colleges and universities.
This text brings to teacher education challenging dilemmas based on the experiences of beginning and experienced teachers in Canadian classrooms. 22 case studies focus on teaching exceptional learners in inclusive classrooms in elementary and secondary schools. Issues of equity, cultural diversity, and students who are at-risk arise in the cases. These Dilemma cases pose challenging, realistic situations without obvious right answers. Teacher candidates are stimulated to think like teachers. For candidates without practicum experience, case discussions serve as preparation to meet these challenges in a classroom.
