When you're teaching students with special needs, what are your legal responsibilities? How do you provide appropriate, legally-compliant special education services? This guide gives educators and administrators the basics of special education law. With real-life scenarios in each chapter, you'll see law-abiding practices in action. Learn your legal responsibilities when: collaborating with parents and colleagues to build strong partnerships; developing and implementing IEPs as part of a team; supervising students and protecting them from abuse and harm; conducting behavioral interventions fairly and without bias; documenting the progress and behavior of students, communication with parents and colleagues, and the results of your students' IEPs; storing and managing your students' school records and personal information; and monitoring your own behavior both inside and outside school (including on social media). You'll get quizzes, "How Would You Rule?" activities, mnemonics of important points to remember, case story comparisons that highlight common mistakes and better approaches, and more.
