Inclusive Education for the 21st Century

Theory, Policy and Practice

Herausgegeben: Graham, Linda J.

Beschreibung

Thoroughly revised throughout, this bestselling book returns in a new edition to take an even more comprehensive look at the question: How can teachers and schools create genuinely inclusive classrooms that meet the needs of every student? Inclusive Education for the 21st Century provides a rigorous overview of the foundational principles of inclusive education and the barriers to access and participation.

It explores evidence-based strategies to support diverse learners, including specific changes in curriculum, pedagogy and assessment practices, and the use of data. It addresses the needs of children with physical, sensory and intellectual disabilities, as well as those with complex learning profiles, including mental health issues. This second edition is rich with new content, including eleven new chapters which address learning from international experience, multi-tiered systems of support, leading inclusive education reform, the importance of language and supporting friendships. A new section has been added to provide explicit support for implementing systemic inclusive education reform from the policy level right through to classroom practice. A new series of podcasts, featuring interviews with expert chapter authors, offers an engaging complement to the chapter topics and content.

With many schools still operating under twentieth-century models that disadvantage students, this book presents the deep knowledge, tools and strategies to better equip pre- and in-service teachers and leaders to make inclusive education a reality in all schools.

Rezensionen

'In the Second Edition of Inclusive Education for the 21^st Century Linda Graham has assembled a group of distinguished collaborators and contributors to create a masterful volume on what may be the most important issue in contemporary (and future) education -- supporting the learning and development of all learners. This edition if filled with new content and an orientation to both policies and practices that educators will find practical and effective. Importantly, the volume addresses inclusive education conceptually and operationalizes it both at the classroom and school levels, yielding a comprehensive and evidence-informed basis for educators' efforts. I can imagine the volume being the anchor for a range of

coursework in educational practice or policy and of interest to scholars whose work addresses issues of diversity and difference among students.'

Robert C. Pianta, Batten Bicentennial Professor of Early Childhood Education, University of Virginia, USA

"This book offers a rallying call grounded in theoretical and practical insights into the current state and future possibilities for inclusive education. For me, a key contribution lies in the focus on access - access for all students through consideration of how opportunities at the classroom level are entangled with national policy as well as international agendas and practices. Also important, the text is engaging and accessible."

Bronwen Cowie, Professor, University of Waikato, New Zealand
