The Special Educator's Survival Guide,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Special Educator's Survival Guide (J-B Ed: Survival Guides) (Paperback)
This book is excellent. It really defines the role and job of a special education teacher. In fact my principal was so impressed with it that he ordered it for all the special education teachers in my building. Another principal also ordered it for her special education teachers.

GACE test prep,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Special Educator's Survival Guide (J-B Ed: Survival Guides) (Paperback)
I bought this and one other book to study for a teacher certification test after reading that the official GACE study guides weren't preparing other educators to do well on the SpEds test. (I took the general test for 6-12 grade). This book was great; it did exactly what I intended it to do--help me rock the GACE SpEd exam! My scores were excellent. This book has what you need to get the SpEds perspective as an educator.

Great for Parent's Too!,
By JerseyGirl "Child Advocate" (U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Special Educator's Survival Guide (J-B Ed: Survival Guides) (Paperback)
The Special Education Survival Guide is one of my top reference books, as I assist in developing my child's I.E.P. The book is up to date, and gives a lot of example's and "what-if's." I couldn't do a proper I.E.P. without this valuable resouce.
