The Practical Guide to High-Leverage Practices in Special Education: The Purposeful “How” to Enhance Classroom Rigor

Designed for teacher preparation programs as well as teacher professional development, The Practical Guide to High-Leverage Practices in Special Education: The Purposeful “How” to Enhance Classroom Rigor is the first book of its kind to introduce multiple HLPs working in tandem to implement evidence-based practices (EBPs).

The Practical Guide to High-Leverage Practices in Special Education is a powerful tool for those dedicated to improving student outcomes. Planned with the practitioner in mind, the text’s main objective is for teachers to recognize EBPs as “what” they teach and HLPs as “how” they teach. The book is written with a focus on inclusive education, making it a valuable resource for both general and special educators.

What’s included in The Practical Guide to High-Leverage Practices in Special Education:

• A focus on one HLP per chapter and descriptions of connected HLPs and how to use them for implementing featured EBPs
• Classroom scenarios for both elementary and secondary classrooms
• Tables of the crosswalks of connected HLPs and EBPs with resources for further learning

The Practical Guide to High-Leverage Practices in Special Education: The Purposeful “How” to Enhance Classroom Rigor provides educators with the understanding of how HLPs and EBPs connect to effectively implement them for student success and is also an effective teaching and learning tool for teacher education preparation programs.
