About your course materials

Concise and accessible, Gargiulo/Metcalf's TEACHING IN TODAY'S INCLUSIVE CLASSROOMS: A UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING APPROACH, 4th edition, is the first inclusion textbook with a consistent, integrated emphasis on UDL -- an important educational philosophy focused on using strategies and tools to help ALL students by accommodating their differences. Aligned with InTASC and CEC standards, the text delivers foundational information about children with disabilities in today's classrooms and the most effective strategies for teaching them alongside their typically developing peers. With coverage of Common Core State Standards, case studies and sound research-based teaching and learning strategies, this hands-on text gives pre-service and in-service teachers a practical, flexible framework for effective instruction, classroom management, assessment and collaboration in today's diverse classrooms.

Frequently asked questions

How do I enroll in or join my course?

Your instructor will tell you how to access your course. You may join through your school’s LMS, a course link or a course key. If you’re unsure which method to use, check with your instructor.

How do I redeem an access code, or what if my code isn't working?

Sign in to your Cengage account and select Enter Access Code or Course Key, then enter your access code and select Register. If your code is damaged, missing or still doesn't work, contact Cengage Support.

Why can't I access my course?

How you access your course depends on how your instructor set it up. Start from your LMS, course link or course key. If you've purchased access but still can't open the course, Cengage Help can help you troubleshoot your access.

Where can I find my eBook or textbook?

You can access available eBooks from your Cengage student dashboard or from your Cengage course. If your class uses an LMS, your instructor may also provide access there.

What if I don't have access to my course materials yet?

Temporary access may be available for some Cengage courses. If offered, you can use your course during the grace period and purchase or register your access code before it ends. Options for expired access vary by product.

About this product

Concise and accessible, Gargiulo/Metcalf's TEACHING IN TODAY'S INCLUSIVE CLASSROOMS: A UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING APPROACH, 4th edition, is the first inclusion textbook with a consistent, integrated emphasis on UDL -- an important educational philosophy focused on using strategies and tools to help ALL students by accommodating their differences.

With coverage of Common Core State Standards, case studies and sound research-based teaching and learning strategies, this hands-on text gives pre-service and in-service teachers a practical, flexible framework for effective instruction, classroom management, assessment and collaboration in today's diverse classrooms.

Learning Outcomes listed at the beginning of each chapter align with major headings in the chapter, making it easy for students and instructors to find key content and clearly understand expected outcomes.

Updated Web Resources help students easily connect with additional teaching tools online.

Completely updated, a contemporary chapter on assistive technology (Ch. 12) gives readers valuable insight about current forms of technology that help teachers support a wide variety of students in their classrooms.

An emphasis on the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) approach illustrates how general education teachers can choose flexible instructional strategies, tools, activities and evaluation methods that allow for student differences and remove the barriers from academic success.
