Synopsis
School inclusion is a perennially popular yet polemic topic in most countries. This timely book explores what is known about inclusion, highlighting outstanding examples of inclusion to provide a complete overview of successful inclusion.
The book concentrates on how to make inclusion work – from the view of internationally established practitioners in the field of teacher education - with a focus on what variables are likely to make a difference in practice.
What Works in Inclusion? covers three key aspects:
- Theories of inclusive education
- Examples of how inclusion can be encouraged and facilitated
- What prevents inclusion from being successful
In addition to the research-based accounts of how to make inclusion work, the book considers the difficulties that can arise in attempting to achieve successful inclusion and how such barriers can be overcome, to ensure a successful inclusive experience for both teachers and students.
This is a key text for all serving and aspiring teachers and SENCOs, as well as those interested in inclusion and SEN in schools, and will inform and challenge in equal measure.
