Such dry reading. The chapters are very long and the subheadings are kind of randomly related to the subject discussed, so it's a pain to link meaning to the headings, especially the Motivation part.Many of the terms in there are undefined--I got a "?" note from the teacher when using those terms which I thought everyone else knew but me on two occasions. Words like "regulation" which occur in different contexts, and different ways of saying "Socioemotional learning" which should have ONE name and ONE meaning.There is one very silly mistake--it's GROVER (not Murray) that does the near and far skit on Sesame Street. Get a gen-xer proofreader next time.
Life beyond the classroom is the perfect book for anyone who is hoping to become a special educator. The text gives a lot of information to make sure you successfully help students transition out of school and into the real world! The Price is great as it will save you a lot and it also comes in a timely matter!
