Publisher's Note

This comprehensive and up-to-date resource addresses the unique challenges of the ever-changing landscape of special education and inclusive classrooms.

The Exceptional Teacher's Handbook is a comprehensive resource book designed to assist and support the special education teacher through his or her first school year. The authors present a step-by-step management approach design to help the first-year teacher improve and enhance his or her skills in the areas of organization, time management, and instructional planning and implementation. The resource book contains information on critical topics such as inclusion, discipline, classroom management, transition, classroom organization and design, parent conferences, and professional development for the new special education teacher. Designed as a quick reference, every chapter is written in an abbreviated format, and the contents are sequentially arranged in order to guide the new teacher from the initial planning stage prior to the start of school to the post-planning staged of the school year. In addition, the authors have included appendices that supply the new teacher with a wealth of miscellaneous information ranging from first aid procedures in the school setting to techniques for stress management
