Produktbeschreibung
Six Shifts to Improve Special Education and Other Interventions offers a set of bold, new ideas for dramatically raising the achievement of students with mild to moderate disabilities and students experiencing serious academic, social and emotional, and behavioral difficulties. Combining research with evidence from his own implementation work in more than a hundred districts, Nathan Levenson makes the case for a wholesale rethinking of how interventions are delivered summarized by six essential "shifts." Designed to be practical and draw on the talents of existing staff, Levenson's shifts are paired with concrete advice and lessons learned from the field. His work serves as both a call to action and a critical guide for administrators looking for more effective, affordable ways to support students with special needs. "Exceptional students deserve an exceptional education, not an inferior one mired in status quo of compliance practices and antiquated thought. Nate gives his readers a roadmap for ushering in more responsive, effective practices to positively change systems and improve educational opportunities for students." --Cade Brumley, superintendent, Jefferson Parish Schools, Louisiana "Nate Levenson offers an excellent roadmap for districts struggling to provide high quality instruction in an increasingly accountable environment with limited resources. In particular, his advice on analyzing schedules to free up more time for instruction and remediation has been a game changer for our students." --Steve Joel, superintendent, Lincoln Public Schools, Nebraska "Nate Levenson provides promising, transformational practices, grounded in research and experienced implementation. This text is a must-read for any systems-focused leader who is interested in smarter ways to do better for struggling students. Levenson's practical approach outlines shifting practices and services that yield the best results for our learners who require something different than we have been traditionally providing." --Susan Homrok-Lemke, assistant superintendent of pupil services, Simsbury, Connecticut Nathan Levenson, a former school board member and superintendent, is the managing director of the District Management Group.
