Abstract: Inclusion is clearly related to better outcomes for young children--but reports from the US Department of Education show the practice has grown by just 5% over the past 27 years. This is the how-to book preschool administrators, school district leaders, child care directors, and faculty need to step up the progress of early childhood inclusion through big-picture, systems-level change. Shaped by feedback from a nationwide survey of IDEA Part B Preschool Coordinators and local school district leaders who shared their real-life inclusion challenges, this is your comprehensive toolbox of problem-solving tips, evidence-based practices, and practical checklists and handouts. You'll learn how to overcome the challenges to a high-quality inclusive preschool program, and you'll create a solid action plan for building and maintaining a successful program where all children learn and grow together. Get the tools you need to: (1) solve common challenges to inclusion through new policies and procedures; (2) establish a strong inclusion team to make collaborative decisions; (3) implement an action plan for inclusion--and measure its effects; (4) increase access, participation, and supports for children with disabilities; (5) help teachers use evidence-based practices like RTI and differentiated instruction; (6) develop effective teacher professional development practices; (7) make sound decisions about placement for each individual child. Following About the Downloads, About the Authors, About the Contributors, the Foreword, Dedication, and Introduction, this book contains three sections and eight chapters. Section I, Laying the Groundwork for Preschool Inclusion, includes: (1) What is Quality Inclusion? (Erin E. Barton and Jaclyn D. Joseph); (2) Preschool Inclusion Challenges and Solutions (Barbara J. Smith, Erin E. Barton, and Alissa Rausch); and (3) Creating Policies and Procedures that Support Preschool Inclusion (Barbara J. Smith, Elizabeth A. Steed, and Jaclyn D. Joseph) Section II, Evidence-based Practices that Support Preschool Inclusion, includes: (4) Administrative Support: Effective Professional Development for High-Quality Preschool Inclusion (Elizabeth A. Steed and Barbara J. Smith); and (5) Evidence-Based Practices for Successful Inclusion (Erin E. Barton, Lois M. Pribble, and Jaclyn D. Joseph). Section III, Making Preschool Inclusion Happen, includes: (6) Measuring the Quality of Inclusive Classrooms (Ching-I Chen, Erin E. Barton, & Geneva J. Hallett); (7) Making Individualized Child Placement Decisions (Erin E. Barton, Debbie Cate, Katy McCullough, & Geneva J. Hallett); and (8) Bringing It All Together (Erin E. Barton).
