| Summary |
Addressing a topic that has received much recent professional interest, Student-Directed Learning: Teaching Self-Determination Skills provides clear, step-by-step instruction on how to teach students with disabilities to manage and assume responsibility for their own learning. Up-to-date and comprehensive, this book is one of the first to address the programmatic shift in special education from dependence to independence. The authors go beyond definitions and provide a detailed and systematic means of teaching self-management and self-determination - skills that are essential when teaching people with disabilities to manage and chart their own behavior |
