SUMMARY
This book gave me some great ideas that I plan on trying to incorporate into the classroom. I definitely do not think that all of the ideas pertain to my students, but I can see how some of the suggestions would be very helpful to all class management - providing every student with specific praise is important!
It has also been found that modeling metacognitive strategies is important for all learners, not just students with AS. This is a major part of Daily 5 and mini-lessons. I definitely think that this is something that I will have to practice more, but I think that it will come more naturally over time.
I liked this book, however, they provided very general strategies. I think that I was looking for more specific ideas to implement. I think a lot of suggestions in this book are just good teaching strategies and ways to become aware of what each student needs to succeed. I did learn more about how students with AS function, and what I should be aware of in the classroom. I will take a few of the ideas and try and implement them successfully in the classroom, but I think there are more sources out there that can show me much more effective, specific strategies to implement!
