The new school year starts next week. The library has just received a great book to help teachers and parents help students succeed in an inclusive setting. The book is Win-win Advice for the Inclusive Classroom by Barbara Tien and Claire Clelland from the PREP Program in Canada. Tien and PREP produced another of our excellent books for inclusion: Effective Teaching Strategies for Successful Inclusion: A Focus on Down syndrome. Win-Win is written with advice for teachers and examples from past experiences. It covers how children with Down syndrome learn best, how to deal with behaviour issues, sensory integration issues and much more.
Other recommended resources in the library are:
From the Downs Ed group: Inclusion in practice DVD: Education children with Down syn
drome at primary school.
and Accessing the curriculum: Strategies for differentiation for pupils with Down syndrome by Gillian Bird, Sandy Alton and Cecilie Mackinnon (which is also available online at www.down-syndrome.org/information)
Plus their many books on Reading, Maths, Memory development and other specific educational books.
And from the Topics in Down Syndrome Woodbine House series:
Classroom Language Skills for Children with Down Syndrome by Libby Kumin. The book deals with helping children with Down syndrome navigate the curriculum and how it is worded as well as covering how to differentiate the curriculum.
Have a great year!
