Pathway to Inclusion is intended for practicing teachers, prospective teachers, administrators, related professionals, and family members of children with special needs. It is intended not as a methods text, but rather a comprehensive text. This edited volume candidly uncovers the inside experiences of different educational inclusion programs for special needs students. Uniquely, it focuses on the perspectives of students, teachers, parents, university faculty, and administrators. These voices, absent from most accounts of special education literature, are often silenced by professional discourses concerned with identification, assessment, placement, or practice.

Joann Robertson's grandfather moved to the Yukon in 1897 to make his fortune. He did not succeed, but loved the North and decided to settle there. Leaving their eldest two children in London, his wife joined him in 1899. They had six more children born in various settlements. The life the family lived and the work they did -- telegraphy, dog team mail delivery, teaching and working in the gold-mining industry -- were typical of the Yukon during this era. From memories of her Yukon youth, family letters, photographs, unpublished works and news clippings, Joann describes the life of her and other families during this little-known period of Yukon time. Her narrative -- at one point describing the dismantling of a Model T Ford to smuggle it by canoe across a river in the dead of night -- echoes her love of this unique society.

Rocky Raccoon loves living on a golf course. Morning is his favorite time because that is when the treasures hidden in his nest at the top of a tall palm tree shine their brightest. But Rocky is not satisfied with the soda cans, shiny food wrappers, and coins he has already collected. There is one flashy prize he is dying to own, but he knows he cannot do it alone.

With the help of Henrietta Hawk, Rocky finally manages to snatch Billionaire Bill's cell phone for his collection. But it is not long before he learns the valuable lesson that he should be more careful what he wishes for in life. As he attempts to make friends with the talking and squawking phone he now calls Cheery, Rocky must carefully dodge Gary Gator's and Ranger Rick's attempts to find it.

In this charming children's tale inspired by a real-life event on a golf course in southern Florida, a raccoon obsessed with shiny objects discovers that the one thing he wants comes with more challenges than he ever imagined.
