Effective special education teachers, however, also must know the science of evidence-based practices to meet the needs of and advocate for their students and families. Heart and Science: Teaching Special Education combines these narratives to demonstrate how the heart and science of teaching special education unite. Through poetry, personal stories, and expert instruction, the many roles of a special education teacher are uniquely presented and celebrated. This book inspires and educates!
