This second edition of Special Education Law and Practice in Public Schools is appropriate for Educational Leadership and Administration courses. Now in paperback, this book can augment educational administration or administrative leadership course or be a core text for special education administration courses. This major revision focuses on showing administrators "how to" understand the complex law and issues surrounding students with special needs. Current topics include the reauthorization of IDEA, NCLB, 504 and other regulations: working with families, IEPs, assessment, as well as administrative issues such as working with students and their families, working with teachers and other professionals and working with the school to ensure positive schoolwide discipline. The revision also includes the standards that relate to school administration and CEC.
