Connecting High-Leverage Practices to Student Success: Collaboration in Inclusive Classrooms

Transform classrooms and student performance with evidence-based, effective practices

Two brains are better than one, as the saying goes, and this is especially true in education. Educators who employ effective collaboration and co-teaching greatly amplify student engagement, achievement, and growth, particularly for those learners needing extra support.

Written by two of the nation's top experts in co-teaching, Connecting High-Leverage Practices to Student Success is an essential, reader-friendly guide for educators and instructional leaders who are passionate about creating truly inclusive classrooms where all students thrive- academically, behaviorally, socially, and emotionally. Inside, authors Melissa Jenkins and Wendy Murawski provide:

• Three clearly defined steps to build a strong foundation, leverage collaboration, and support students' growth
• A laser focus on high-leverage and evidence-based practices for general and special education that optimize educators' impact, including collaboration, instruction, assessment, and social emotional/behavior skills
• Seamless integration of practices within MTSS and RTI processes to meet the needs of all learners
• Countless and concrete samples, examples, tools, reflection exercises, and supplemental materials that enable you to move from theory to immediate instructional practice

Positioning collaboration as the catalyst to maximizing high-leverage and evidence-based practices for the success of all students, this easy-to-use handbook belongs on the desk of every teacher working toward a truly inclusive environment.
