Field of Strategic Teaching in Special and General Education

"The handbook synthesizes the research findings of a vast literature focusing on the education of students with special educational needs. It is a book I wish I had written: powerful, easy to use, one of the most important tools for teachers. An amazing handbook." (John Hattie, Professor at the University of Melbourne, author of Visible Learning) The book presents a range of modern and easy-to-use, science-based strategies that educators can use to address the challenges of special and inclusive education. The 29 strategies described in it have a strong theoretical background, are supported by a rich research database from various countries and provide clear guidelines for their implementation, as well as further guidance where necessary. Most importantly, although they focus on students with special educational needs, these strategies can be applied universally and benefit all students. Important features of the book are: 1. Its easy-to-use structure, with strategies classified into four broad categories: behavioral, social, cognitive, and mixed. 2. Chapters dealing with new subject areas such as neuroscience, social and emotional education, visual learning and communication, transition from school to post-school environments. A valuable handbook and an important source of information for teachers (general and special education), school principals, students of pedagogic departments, educational psychologists, coordinators and consultants of special and inclusive education, researchers in the field of education and all those who deal with the education of children in general children.
