Kaff, Marilyn S.
Rural Educator, v24 n3 p11-19 Spr 2003
Interviews and observations of an exemplary special education teacher produced a model of effective special education teaching in an inclusive rural elementary school. Using efficacy as a foundation, the special educator begins by promoting teacher collaboration, enabling regular and special educators to mentor and advocate for each other. A caring environment is created through community building. (TD)
