This is Volume 2 in the three-volume publication, The Handbook of Special Education : Research & Practice. This volume deals with special education research and development concerning students classified in one of the mildly handicapped categories. The authors of Section 1 focus on the topic area of mild mental retardation; the chapters in this section represent an attempt to make sense out of the confusing array of current social, political, educational, and research trends. Section 2 concentrates on behavioral disorders. The five chapters in this section give a thoughtful synthesis of the available literature in the areas of importance for those with an interest in the education of students whose behavioral and emotional needs lead their teachers to view them with special concern. In Section 3 the theme is learning disability. The goal of the set of chapters in this section is to synthesize the research literature in five related aspects

More than 20 chapters are devoted to the following elements of knowledge essential for beginning teachers to practise: content of teaching, relationships between content and pedagogy, organization and management, understanding individual students, curriculum planning, context/environment for learning and teaching, and professional functions and responsibilities.</p>

<p>This fourth volume of the Handbook of Special Education: Research and Practice deals with the nature and nurture of gifted and talented youth, issues affecting students with severe disabilities and children and youth at risk. Section one focuses on gifted and talented youth, their identification, practices to accelerate and enrich their learning, their socio-emotional adjustment, and special categories of gifted students. New federal legislation in the US, changing views about intelligence, and growing concern over quality of education, make this section timely and important. Section two concerns students with severe disabilities with topics ranging from how they can be served in regular school and community settings to the transition to work and living in the community. In section three the theme is children and youth at risk from poverty, limited linguistic competence, limited cognitive mastery, and family problems. The chapters highlight what action can be taken to solve the educational problems associated with these risks. Special attention is paid to the problems of education in the inner-city.</p>
