A fine textbook..if you can understand clinical case studies.......2004-01-27
I found this book to be of value. As a special education major with an emphasis on children with severe disabiities I found there was a lot of information in this book.
But due to the style of writing contained here, it is more of a reference book than something a student can use to gain quick knowedge of their field.
Book Description
Whether the aim is to develop a course unit, a stand alone session, or a credit course, here is the philosophy, the specifics, and practical information needed. Included are numerous ready-to-copy or adapt forms, surveys, evaluation instruments, sample assignments, and more.
Useful for the novice or the experienced bibliographic instruction librarian seeking new ideas, programs, and ways to integrate information literacy into the curriculum, this teaching guide focuses on partnering with the faculty to ensure information literate undergraduates.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent overview of this topic.......2001-11-07
This is an excellent book for the beginning information literacy professional. Not only do the authors discuss background and points of view that you should consider when working with faculty on IL programs, but many sample materials are reproduced that you can easily tailor to your situation.
Brief discussions of the types of surveys and programs you can implement are included, as well as ways to promote an IL program with your faculty and students.
Overall, an excellent and practical overview of the topic.
Book Description
“If you are seeking a more effective way to improve teaching and learning for your students or innovative ways to help teachers become actively involved in their professional career, you will enjoy opening the door to lesson study.”
—From the Foreword by Akihiko Takahashi
Employ one of the most promising strategies for linking professional development and student achievement—lesson study!
Educators have been examining the Japanese lesson study model for years, but the dissimilar environment in U.S. schools has prevented a widescale adoption of this effective form of professional learning.
Lesson Study Communities demonstrates how to translate each step of the Japanese lesson study process to the educational environment of U.S. schools. Offering specific strategies that have been tested and successfully used with ethnically diverse students, this book incorporates a culturally responsive approach to curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Working in impoverished schools with ELL and low SES students, Wiburg and Brown’s program made significant progress toward closing the achievement gap in poorly served communities.
Applicable to math, science, reading, language arts, and social studies programs, this implementation guide:
- Explains how to connect lesson study to school or district instructional goals
- Provides case examples and step-by-step guidance
- Reveals how lesson study can be integrated into daily work
- Offers extended learning activities and exercises
Addressing the challenge of changing student demographics, this book includes guidance on assessing readiness for lesson study, planning the research lesson, gathering data, modifying the lesson, and sharing findings.
Staff developers, teachers, and administrators committed to increasing student achievement will find this to be a significant stride toward ensuring academic success.

The Marketplace at Amazon exceeded my expectations........2002-12-02
I recently purchased this book in "used" condition from the bookseller booksbyjoe.com. The book arrived within three working days and in perfect condition. I recommend this book for all new school psychologists, or school administrators who must be aware and prepared for the events that may occur on their school campuses.
Comprehensive, well organized, user friendly, affordable!.......1999-02-08
As a school crisis coordinator, I used this book a number of years ago to write a crisis response plan for a school. As a presentor at conferences, both at state and national level, I often recommend this book to individuals who have the responsibility to write a crisis response plan or to provide intervention during times of crisis. I was pleased when it was again made available after being out of print. Thank you.

Product Description
Planning in the lives of people with developmental disabilities has moved beyond the "do this, do that" model of the past. A person now has the option of dreaming about and working towards a life of stimulation, fulfillment, variety, individuation and satisfaction. But, without a focused plan that serves the needs and wishes of the person and not the system, service providers fail to help people with disabilities to exercise those options.
