"From Disability to Possibility will change the way you look at
your students with disabilities. And when you make that shift, the
way those students look to you will change. You will see the
possibilities, and in that vision, you will see the power of the
inclusive classroom. " -Kylene Beers
Three decades after landmark special education legislation
promised a better learning experience for students, special
education is still just that-a promise. In America we have earned a
failing grade in educating diverse learners, as evidenced by their
overwhelming underemployment or joblessness after graduation. We
can do better by adopting a new model - one that honors varied
teaching and learning styles, transforming disability into
possibility. Only then can we finally fulfill the promise of
special education.
"From Disability to Possibility" leads the way presenting the
specific kinds of teaching, classroom practices, and support
approaches that will make this new model of possibility a reality.
Drawing on the stories of learners, both with and without
disabilities, as well as families and teachers, Patrick Schwarz
shows you not only why many current special education frameworks
don't work, but also how they damage children, often for life. Then
he demonstrates how possibility studies offers a meaningful,
practical, and doable alternative to traditional special education
practices both during the school years and after.
Ideal for general educators, special educators, administrators,
educational leaders, related service professionals, paraeducators
and self-advocates, "From Disability to Possibility" illustrates,
through stories of struggle and success, how creative,
conscientious teachers can work with everyone involved in a
student's learning to make special education work. In addition
Patrick Schwarz will show you that special education is a service,
not a sentence, and that labels hurt. His ideas and passion will
inspire you to look at diverse learners, their instruction, and
their support in the classroom, the curriculum, and the social
world of school from a new perspective: the "possibility of
disability."
