Grass, Yardsticks, and Other Emergencies: Real Moments from a Special Education Classroom

From the outside, a classroom can look predictable-worksheets, transitions, lunch, recess. Inside a self-contained special education classroom, however, small moments can become big events in seconds. Grass, Yardsticks, and Other Emergencies is a collection of real classroom experiences told with humor, honesty, and reflection. Barbara Hopkins offers a heartfelt look into the unpredictable and deeply human world of special education, where meaning is often found in the smallest details.
