Review title: Special Education: Core Knowledge
Product review: This was an OUTDATED text that covered up to IDEA'97. My actual test primarily covered IDEA 2004, which had a number of amendments I knew nothing about. Essentially, almost nothing in the Praxis preparation booklet was in the state test. I'm not sure if I passed; the test dealt with severe disability syndromes, but I'm studying LD students. Will look for another book that is not so out of touch. Even the text book I used as recommended by a college (used in their intro SPED courses) was 8 years behind and had little material that was specific enough to be included on the exam. I was upset because I had studied a lot, and have taught a similar population of students at the community college level for over 10 years, so I should know something about the subject. VERY DISAPPOINTED. Not being up to date with current legal changes in Spec Ed laws was totally uncalled for. Scottie Kelly
