Sommario/riassunto

For students working below grade level, curricular modifications can provide equal and meaningful opportunities to learn alongside their same-age peers. This book guides educators on how to modify the curriculum for students with intellectual disabilities participating in the general education classroom, providing 40 strategies that demonstrate how to alter the materials or objectives of a lesson. After introducing the reader to the benefits of inclusive education and to the basics of educating students with intellectual disabilities, the book describes how to design appropriate curricular modifications. Each of the following chapters then presents ten strategies for modifying lessons for Kindergarten through high school in four subject areas: math, English, science, and social studies. Vignettes demonstrate how to implement the strategies for modifying the curriculum in the classroom. A section of printable forms supporting the strategies are included. --

Sommario/riassunto

Our world is becoming ever more complex. Among the geopolitical and macroeconomic issues currently facing mankind, with serious ramifications for our future, are digitalization and technology, climate change, and globalization. Political upheaval, wars, natural disasters, economic recessions, and pandemics, have all had massive negative impacts on our society. In this new world, various governmental and organizational decisionmakers – including managers, international agencies, NGOs, political leaders, economists, science & technology innovators, and medical professionals – must all learn to anticipate and deal with these emergent risks, the integration of which, along with the management of ‘black swan’ events, has assumed paramount importance. This is the huge challenge now facing us. This book, aimed at both academics and practitioners, shows how a framework for resilience can be created to help modern organizations to not only survive but to thrive. The author considers some of the organizations and bodies that can be said to be highly resilient and examines how ‘Resilience Thinking’ affects different disciplines and environments. He addresses the question of how resilience works and how it is applied in practice. The relationship between resilience and other knowledge areas such as complexity theory, strategy, and risk management – from both top-down and bottom-up perspectives – is examined. Situations are identified where there is a particular need for resilience, and an overview of the best ways of implementing a resilience process is offered. .
