Summary:

"High-leverage practices (HLPs) are a set of 22 core practices that serve as guidelines for teaching and preparing special education teachers. These HLPs are fundamental to effective special education teaching. This book teaches readers how to use evidence-based practice (EBP) to enhance classroom rigor. To be effective special educators, implementation of the HLPs with EBPs will lead to highly effective instructional practices. Each chapter has a description of the HLP and a table that depicts how other HLPs work in tandem with the HLP highlighted in that chapter. The table also includes some EBPs described in the chapter that would require using the HLP to implement, along with some resources for further exploration of the EBPs"-- Provided by publisher.
