What Really Works With Exceptional Learners by Wendy Murawski

Your desk reference for success with exceptional students

Today's teachers, especially the many who work with students with special needs, are pressed to know a little something about everything. Expertise is needed in different content and pedagogical areas, but knowledge of different types of disabilities is required as well. Wendy Murawski and Kathy Lynn Scott have assembled another reader-friendly What Really Works resource full of experiences and evidence-based practices to empower any educator.

Each chapter is presented in an easy-access and practical format suited for busy professionals. The editors and authors examine how special educational needs affect

Content areas like reading and math
Specialization areas like autism and learning disabilities
Pedagogical areas like culturally responsive practices and accommodations
Other critical areas like legal issues, behavior challenges, and home-school collaboration

As education trends promote the inclusion of students with exceptionalities, this book is the perfect resource for teachers and administrators who need to know what works...and what doesn't.

About Wendy Murawski

Wendy W. Murawski, Ph.D., MBA, MEd, EdS, is the Executive Director and Eisner Endowed Chair for the Center for Teaching and Learning at California State University, Northridge (CSUN), where she is also a Full Professor in the Department of Special Education and the Director of SIMPACT Immersive Learning. Dr. Murawski is the national Past President of the Teacher Education Division (TED) of CEC and an internationally known speaker and author, presenting in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. She has published extensively around inclusive education, co-teaching, collaboration, and Universal Design for Learning, to include 18 books and numerous chapters, blogs, and peer-reviewed articles. She is the CEO of 2TEACH? and 2TEACH GLOBAL (www.2TeachLLC.com), two educational consulting companies dedicated to promoting inclusive education around the world. In her personal life, Wendy enjoys curling up in front of a fire with her cat Monkey on her lap, her dog Honey at her feet, her husband Donald making dinner as she reads a book while sipping merlot and being texted sweet messages from her college-bound son, Kiernan. This scenario actually happened...once. Kathy Lynn Scott, PhD, is the Center Administrative Analyst for the Center for Teaching and Learning at California State University, Northridge. Kathy was trained as an old school darkroom photographer, but she fell in love with all things to do with education. After conducting research on art education and adult education in England and coordinating research on learning disabilities in New Jersey, Kathy jumped from coast to coast, finding a new home with the CTL where she gets to do a little bit of everything related to education. When not acting as the glue for the CTL (as Wendy calls her), she's happiest just relaxing at home, learning to cook new dishes, watching Jeopardy!, and shouting out the (not always correct) answers.
