NASET Survival Guides
NASET is proud to offer a series of Survival Guides geared towards the needs and concerns of all special educators involved in the education of children with special needs. These guides contain practical and useful information that can be utilized in every classroom to enhance learning, classroom management, educational performance, and teacher awareness. These guides contain practical and tried and true suggestions that we have developed and collected over the years.
NASET has kept the cost of these Survival Guides low so that they can be added to any teacher’s professional library without significant expense. The limited fees for these Survival Guides in no way reflect the professional quality of the guides and the excellent quality of the content provided.
At NASET, we are aware of the tremendous responsibilities, workload, and stress on all educators working in the field of special education. As a result, we are all dedicated to ensuring that teachers receive the best possible resources when working with exceptional children and their parents.
Our research suggests that special educators want answers and direction using best practices and techniques. That is why we have streamlined all our Survival Guides with recommendations and information that can be used immediately in the classroom. We have written these guides in practical useful language, avoiding fancy jargon that may confuse any issues at hand. Finally, these guides can be shared with parents so they can also understand the challenges faced by special educators, while also seeing practical real-world application of suggestions and recommendations that can be used for their children in the classroom.
While NASET will continue to add to these guides, below you will find links to the guides that are presently available.
