Draft guidelines for teachers of students with general learning difficulties

This is a set of 3 books which give extensive information, advice and guidance to teachers teaching pupils who have a range of special educational needs.  Book1 is designed for teachers of pupils with severe and profound disabilities who are most likely to be in special schools.  Book 2 is for teachers of students with moderate disabilities and Book 3 is for teachers of students with mild disabilities.  Books2 and 3 would be most useful for teachers in mainstream schools.

The books begin by outlining the general aims of education in an inclusive educational system.  They explain the role and responsibilities of all those involved in educating pupils and give guidance on how to produce suitable policies and teaching plans.  They also give a lot of guidance on teaching strategies within and across subject areas for both primary and post-primary teachers.
