Hott and colleagues have a clear message repeated throughout this wonderful collection—that instruction matters. We too often pay attention to compliance and placement, and what this resource reminds us (repeatedly) is that actual instruction to the students is what we really need to focus on. Great collection of chapters on all too forgotten students: secondary. Instruction really matters. Thanks to the authors for refocusing our attention to this.

David F. Bateman, American Institutes for Research
Dr. Hott has assembled a group of experts in the field of education. Through their knowledge of best practices in teaching and learning, they have written a book that aids both general and special educators in meeting the needs of all secondary students. With an easy-to-read format, this book provides teachers with practical solutions for implementing evidence-based instructional methods in the classroom. Quality Instruction and Intervention Strategies for Secondary Educators is a must-have on the bookshelf of all secondary teachers!

Marla J. Lohmann, author of The Teacher's Guide to Action Research for Special Education in PK–12 Classrooms
We know that children are not simply miniature adults and that adolescents are not simply large children. The challenges and abilities of adolescents are as different from younger children as the secondary curriculum is from the elementary curriculum. Dr. Hott’s edited book is an excellent resource for teachers supporting adolescents with disabilities in the general education curriculum. Like many secondary school special education teachers, I was trained as an elementary teacher and then assigned to a high school. I wish that this text had been available to me. The clear explanations of powerful and evidence-based practices would have helped me in the same way that it will benefit most beginning and many experienced special educators.

Frederick J. Brigham, George Mason University
This book steps outside the mold of the traditional textbook and engages the reader in a new, fresh way with case studies. The layout of chapters provides important background information followed by practical application, all based in research, which is a format appealing to professionals in both general and special education. The contributors have adopted a practical, research-based approach that will enhance educator's classroom practice, which could lead to improved outcomes for students with disabilities.

Ruby L. Owiny, Minnesota State University, Mankato; past president of the Teacher Education Division of CEC
This book's approach of using content experts and special educators to work together is a creative and highly needed approach to instruction of students with special needs. We talk inclusion and collaboration but often do not do this in higher education. This text shows how these two areas can be put into practice.

Robin Brewer, University of Northern Colorado
Quality Instruction and Intervention Strategies for Secondary Educators is a must-read for pre-service secondary educators, middle school and high school administrators, and all secondary educators. Now, more than ever, educators need a resource like this to guide the planning and refinement of their pedagogy. The authors unpack the current research on effective, quality instruction and intervention for all students across a variety of disciplines. The chapters provide practical examples educators can implement immediately.
