This comprehensive text is the first I have read that brings theory and high-leverage practices into the field component of teacher education. This text not only provides strong examples of how to work with students with disabilities but also includes strategies for working with at-risk youth, an often-forgotten group. The suggestions and solid examples provided for mentoring/coaching are exemplar. The field guide is clear and concise and innovative. The text certainly provides a much-needed up-to-date resource for both prospective teachers and faculty.
