Greetings!
A week ago I sent the message below. I've gotten a number of terrific =
responses, including some really inspiring stories. However, if you'll =
be kind enough to bear with me a little longer, I could use a little =
more information for my presentation.
My audience is classroom teachers who will be dealing with inclusion =
classrooms - sometimes heavily inclusive. I'd like to provide them with =
a list of resources (like Library Reproduction Services and the National =
Library Services Division of the Library of Congress) that include =
something from as many different areas as possible. I'd also like to =
talk about some ideas for collaborative techniques or other assistance =
that their own media specialist might be able to provide in helping =
their Special Ed students work within the general curriculum. =20
IOW, I *really* want what I think most of us are constantly struggling =
with - motivating them to go to their Media Center and work with their =
media specialist. If we can get them in over a Special Ed issue, I feel =
chances are good they'll come back for other things. Hopefully I can =
strike a blow for a fair number of us if I can reach this bunch of =
teachers from different schools and systems!
I'd welcome any thoughts or ideas, and I'll post a hit next week, once I =
get the presentation over with.... ;P
Thanks ever so much!!!
