Towards Inclusion of All Learners through Science Teacher Education serves as an indispensable resource for teachers and teacher educators wishing to understand how to educate students with exceptionalities in science. This book begins with the voices and stories of the experts: current and former K-12 students with disabilities sharing their experiences in science education classrooms. The voices of students with disabilities are then connected to the work of leading experts in the area of science education for individuals with disabilities in an effort to address the goals of national reform documents by ensuring rigorous science experiences for all students. It is written in a highly accessible and practical manner, making it ideal for all educators including pre-service and in-service teachers, teacher educators, researchers, and curriculum developers.

"Towards Inclusion of All Learners through Science Teacher Education presents an excellent overview of current practices in schools, descriptions of individual and team efforts to improve practice, and emerging innovations such as the application of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Assistive Technology (AT) as promising possibilities if we are to provide equitable science for students with disabilities. Stories from students; descriptions from practitioners in K-12 education; strategies and experiences from post-secondary methods instructors in science education and special education are interspersed throughout the book. Strategies applying the principles of UDL and scaffolding are shared. Section three contains several highly innovate efforts in practice. [...] This book illuminates many factors that exist in present practice, which must be resolved if students with disabilities are to ever receive an equivalent and equitable science education, [ as well as] many of the major issues confronting inclusive science. It is a methods book that can be used as the primary textbook in both science methods and special education methods. It is well suited for graduate classes in curriculum development and instructional strategies. It is an outstanding resource for graduate seminars relating to educational equity and educational reform. I see it as an excellent inschool resource which can be used in in-service training and professional development. I see it as a reflective resource well suited for the personal library of any teacher, curriculum specialist, or administrator." - Dr. Greg Stefanich, Department of Curriculum & Instruction, University of Northern Iowa, in: Journal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities, Vol. 21, No. 1 (2018)
