"One of the many things I appreciate about this edition of Joyful Learning is the range of its examples. Regardless of grade level or subject area, all K-12 teachers will find relevant gems here. Alice and Paula provide lots of details to help readers figure out how to make the various approaches work, but their recommendations are descriptive, rather than prescriptive and grounded in an abiding respect for teachers as decision makers. I love that these authors insist on the presumption of professional competence for adults just as they do for young people with and without disabilities."

"This book is one of few that provides activities for practice in a classroom moving towards inclusivity.  It is well-grounded in a clear conception of inclusivity that allows for these activities to be enacted with efficacy.?"

"Joyful Learning is so easy to use—like a comfy cookbook of idea-generators for when a teacher needs fresh and new ideas for specific purposes."
