Reviews for IEPs for ELs: And Other Diverse Learners

A major strength for this book is its unique tie to English Learners, while providing a dual focus on IEP writing. The material can be used with any student who has learning difficulties, and the book addresses multiple scenarios that are relatable to the real world of teaching. This is a great tool to use when training new special education teachers and IEP facilitators. There are direct connections to writing legally defensible plans with a user-friendly focus on IEP writing. I see this book as a tool to support teachers and students in ensuring that language and cultural considerations are included when developing and updating individual plans.--Renee Bernhardt, Supervisor, Special Education (07/22/2016)
