Individualizing Instruction for the Educationally Handicapped: Teaching Strategies in Remedial and Special Education

The author refers to educationally handicapped children as those children whose problems, most typically, only manifest themselves in school.  Many of these children qualify for special education and most often are integrated into the regular classroom for a significant portion of the day; when they are not in the regular classroom, they are being provided special education in a resource room or some other pull-out program.  In addition to these students, it may also include those children who are just on the cusp, who do not qualify for special education but whose academic performance is consistently below average. The author advocates that by clinically analyzing the child's learning ecology, through the process of assessment, planning instruction, carrying out the instruction, evaluating student performance, and modifying the instructional plan based on student performance, the teacher is able to design instruction appropriate for the unique needs of each child.  The book will be useful to not only regular classroom teachers, special education teachers, administrators, counselors, and other specialists involved in the lives of educationally handicapped children but also parents and primary caregivers.  Collaboration among these groups of people is critical to the ultimate success of the educationally handicapped child.

A thrilling spin-off from Jack Campbell’s The Lost Fleet series, The Lost Stars: Tarnished Knight delivered “excellent tales of space battles and struggles against tyrants and aliens.”* Now the New York Times bestselling author returns with the next chapter in the overthrow of the Syndicate Worlds’ oppression… Following a successful coup, the leaders of the rebel Midway Star System struggle to forge a government free enough to please its citizens yet strong enough to secure power. But in a world where former rulers have become new foes, an alien threat to humanity may turn old adversaries into uncertain allies. General Artur Drakon knows three words describe someone who confides in a Syndicate CEO: Stupid. Betrayed. Dead. Despite his misgivings, he partnered with another former CEO to overthrow Syndic forces. Now, with an enigma fleet menacing their hard-earned independence, he can ill afford to trust her—or lose her support. President Gwen Iceni believes Midway is humanity’s defense against the enigmas. Syndicate training taught her self-preservation in a crisis, yet she’s determined to fight for the star system’s fate…even if it means joining forces with Drakon—and an officer of the hated Alliance. Their plan places the Midway flotilla at great risk in hopes of greater reward: recruiting the personnel necessary to man warships against the enigmas. But before facing the alien advance, Drakon and Iceni must survive hidden dangers closer to home: all-too-human threats that could jeopardize Midway’s freedom…and their own lives. *Night Owl Reviews

Admiral Geary’s First Fleet of the Alliance has survived the journey deep into unexplored interstellar space, a voyage that led to the discovery of new alien species, including a new enemy and a possible ally. Now Geary’s mission is to ensure the safety of the Midway Star System, which has revolted against the Syndicate Worlds empire—an empire that is on the brink of collapse.

And even if Geary escorts Invincible and the Dancers’ representatives safely unharmed, the Syndics’ attempts to spread dissent and political unrest may have already sown the seeds of the Alliance’s destruction...
