It started with a simple observation: students need their teachers present to
answer questions or to provide help if they get stuck on an assignment; they
don't need their teachers present to listen to a lecture or review content. From
there, Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams began the flipped classroom-students
watched recorded lectures for homework and completed their assignments, labs,
and tests in class with their teacher available.
What Bergmann and Sams found was that their students demonstrated a deeper
understanding of the material than ever before. This is the author's story, and
they're confident it can be yours too. Learn what a flipped classroom is and why
it works and get the information you need to flip a classroom.
You'll also learn the flipped mastery model, where students learn at their
own pace-furthering opportunities for personalized education. This simple
concept is easily replicable in any classroom, doesn't cost much to implement,
and helps foster self-directed learning. Once you flip, you won't want to go
back!

Clearly written and well organized, this book shows how to apply the principles of universal design for learning (UDL) across all subject areas and grade levels. The editors and contributors describe practical ways to develop classroom goals, assessments, materials, and methods that use UDL to meet the needs of all learners. Specific teaching ideas are presented for reading, writing, science, mathematics, history, and the arts, including detailed examples and troubleshooting tips. Particular attention is given to how UDL can inform effective, innovative uses of technology in the inclusive classroom.
The focus of this best-selling special education assessment book is on providing special and general educators with a variety of assessment procedures and directions on how to construct, administer, score, interpret, graph, monitor, write, and report assessment results. From this book, readers will come away knowing the latest in authentic, curriculum, and performance-based assessment measures with direct connections to instruction, IEP development, and reporting to parents; and new focuses on progress monitoring, Response to Intervention (RTI) and on the practical application of assessment results. Future educators will gain the pertinent skills necessary to effectively use assessment, particularly informal assessment, in understanding the needs of the whole student in today’s general and special education classrooms.
