Biography
Anne M. Beninghof is an internationally recognized special educator, consultant and trainer, focusing on creative, practical solutions for more effectively including students with diverse learning needs in general education classrooms.
"I am an educational director who supports students with disabilities. I support seven districts in Coastal Georgia (South). Our co-teaching project is called Lead emBRACE (Embrace Building Relationships for Achieving Co-teaching Excellence). This project primarily focuses on supporting the role of the administrator and how to lead this work. We use this book in our professional development to model how to effectively plan for students with disabilities. We have provided PD for over 1000 teachers and administrators using this process and have received excellent feedback. More importantly, we are observing evidence of the work in our schools. I originally started out by purchasing 250 books but have had to increase since the book has become so popular. I've also encouraged those in my state to do the same. I love the easy-to-use process that is not only practical but very applicable. These strategies are nothing new, but they are packaged in a way that makes it easy for educators to plan. I highly recommend this book!"
