Dr. Carnahan and Dr. Lowrey have created a framework that can be used to review and assess the current teaching environment to determine if the evidence-based practices are being implemented and offer strategies on how to improve the delivery of instruction to ensure that these students are being supported"-- Provided by publisher.
