Key Concepts and Best Practices

The book is organized around four key concepts:

Social justice and equity: Archer argues that all students deserve access to a high-quality education, regardless of their abilities or backgrounds. She provides educators with the tools they need to create classrooms that are welcoming and supportive of all learners.
Universal design for learning (UDL): UDL is a framework for creating learning environments that are accessible to all learners. Archer provides educators with practical strategies for implementing UDL principles in their classrooms, such as providing multiple means of representation, engagement, and assessment.
Differentiated instruction: Differentiated instruction is the practice of tailoring instruction to meet the individual needs of learners. Archer provides educators with a variety of strategies for differentiating instruction, such as using flexible grouping, adjusting the pace of instruction, and providing different levels of support.
Collaboration: Archer emphasizes the importance of collaboration between educators, families, and other professionals in supporting students with disabilities. She provides educators with strategies for building strong relationships with families and other professionals, and for working together to create a supportive learning environment for all students.

In addition to these key concepts, the book also includes chapters on specific topics such as:

Assistive technology
Positive behavior support
Transition planning

"Becoming a Great Inclusive Educator" is an essential resource for educators who are committed to creating inclusive and equitable learning environments for all students. The book provides practical guidance and strategies that educators can use to make a positive difference in the lives of their students.

The second edition of the book is even more comprehensive and up-to-date than the first edition, making it an indispensable resource for educators of all levels.
