When secondary schools are committed to inclusion, everybody wins - schools make progress toward IDEA and NCLB requirements, and students with and without disabilities enjoy higher academic achievement and new friendships. A good peer buddy program can play an invaluable role in making inclusion happen, and this guidebook shows educators exactly why and how.Carolyn Hughes and Erik Carter, highly respected experts well-known for their work with peer buddy programs, give schools all the step-by-step guidance they need to get a program started and keep it going. Educators will discover how to: establish a peer buddy program and spark student interest; clarify the roles and responsibilities of everyone involved - teachers, counselors, administrators, parents, and students; create successful peer-buddy matches using students' strengths, needs, and common interests; develop smooth procedures for day-to-day program implementation; and, guide peer buddies in providing appropriate, effective academic support.
