Editorial Reviews

Review

“[The manuscript] has a great deal of good information in it. It is a valuable tool to those who teach law at this level.” —Darcy Miller, Washington State University

 

“Excellent job of including the areas that are particularly difficult for educators. In particular, No Child Left Behind, FERPA, Civil Liberty of Educators, and High Stakes Testing… This is very thorough information especially applicable in the present time of a suit-happy society.” —Alice Dickinson, Johnson Bible College

 

“I really like having a chapter on the Constitution — it is a nice feature of the text. It is clear, well focused.” - Darcy Miller, Washington State University on Chapter 2

 

“I feel the information contained in this manuscript is very important and really not available (to this extent) in other special education texts.” —Anne Gallegos, New Mexico State University

 

“Good use of one particular case and showing how different interpretations can be made for the same case. This is good for students to see that these situations are not always cut and dried because they involve human interpretation. The examples are given in all the areas of law as well.” —Alice A. Dickinson, Johnson Bible College on Chapter 10

 

“Super — The cases all apply to the area being explained Some of the examples even show how each of the various laws have influence on others. Very interesting cases cited.” —Alice A. Dickinson, Johnson Bible College on Chapter 17

 

“The material is up-to-date and accurate. It brings out interesting facts that may not be known to those who are not lawyers.” —Veda Jairrels, Clark Atlanta University

This new text presents IDEA, other pertinent federal laws, and federal cases in a clear, well-organized manner in order to help educators understand and apply their knowledge in concrete situations. This practical book emphasizes students’ understanding at a conceptual level rather than mere memorization of the detailed provisions of these laws. Educators are thereby prepared to adjust to future amendments to IDEA and other laws and to apply statutory provisions to specific situations. The four sections of the text address the Constitutional Frameworks of education laws, IDEA, RA and ADA, and other legal issues such as No Child Left Behind, tort liability, and high stakes testing.
