Following the provisions of RTI practices and IDEA legislation, this resource for teachers of grades 9-12 offers ideas for teaching math to special needs students. The book is designed to support the recommendations of Breaking Ranks II: Strategies for Leading High School Reform, which is a template for curriculum, instruction, and assessment developed by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Four students are followed throughout the book to illustrate the 5E instructional model: engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate. Reflection questions and activities are included for readers; classroom reproducibles, rubrics, and lesson plans are also provided. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
