A companion volume to Quality Instruction and Intervention Strategies for Secondary Educations, this book provides current and useful inclusive methods to teacher educators working with students, in-service teachers, curriculum specialists, and school administrators interested in quality instruction and intervention. This text is written for teacher educators charged with providing methods instruction for general and special educators. The book offers a summary of quality general education instruction followed by the most up to date empirically validated and evidence-based instruction and interventions for students with and at-risk for disabilities. Two dedicated chapters, authored by leading content and strategy experts in the field, will be devoted to each area. The first chapter will focus on quality instruction with academic subject matter specialists as lead authors with interventionists supporting. The second chapter will focus on effective intervention with the interventionists taking the lead author roles and academic subject matter specialists supporting. Between the two chapters will be a dialogue between the teams of authors bridging general and special education methods and philosophies. This unique method will bridge the gap between quality instruction and effective intervention, an often-overlooked component of teacher education. The last chapter of the text will include a comprehensive list of credible low or no cost resources to support implementation of instructional practices and interventions and continued professional development. After reading the book, educators will be able to describe the components of effective instruction and intervention in each of the content areas, access empirically validated materials, and locate resources for continued learning.
