Lipsky, Dorothy K. and Alan Gartner. (1989). Beyond Separate Education:
Quality education for all. Baltimore, MD: Paul H. Brooks Publishing Co.
As the title implies,the chapters of this book are framed in the context
of the broader school reform movement. The chapters address the question
of how to create exemplary programs for all students This starting point
poses a basic challenge to the conception and design of education
programs in general.
The models discussed here have two major factors in common: 1) the acceptance of responsibility by the classroom teacher for a diverse group of students; and 2) an understanding of such diversity as meeting opportunity and not difficulty. Included are chapters on accommodating student diversity through the curriculum, peer relations in the classroom, teacher preparation, degrees of disability, and parental roles.
