Helping Students Engage with Schooling through Policy and Practice

Produktbeschreibung

From Inclusion to Engagement challenges the ideologically driven academic discourse that has come to dominate inclusive education by presenting research-based knowledge about what actually works. * Presents an innovative approach rooted in a biopsychosocial theoretical perspective - an approach that is still relatively misunderstood within the educational sphere * Offers insights based on an extensive review of contemporary international research in the field * Avoids the biases of ideology in favour of science-based social and educational outcomes * The first comprehensive account of evidence-based interventions for students with Social, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties

Rezensionen

This is a very timely and welcome book which thoroughly addressesthe issue of inclusion in education, especially as regards pupilswith social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. It critiques'universalist inclusion', which is taken to deny thevalue of positively-used labels and specialist provision. It arguesfor an 'engagement model' which sees inclusion as allpupils participating in learning, not necessarily in the sameordinary school classrooms. This is a book to read for all thoseinterested in theory and practice in the field.
--Brahm Norwich, Professor of Educational Psychologyand Special Educational Needs, University of Exeter, UK

In this book the authors provide a thoughtful and stimulatingexamination of how our more vulnerable pupils are viewed. Afterexamining the labeling issue, the authors make interventionrecommendations based on the latest research evidence. In sum, theauthors acknowledge there are a multitude of approaches andemphasize that the ultimate goal is to devise practices that make areal difference in the lives of the students being served.
--Lyndal M. Bullock, Regents Professor, SpecialEducation, University of North Texas, USA

Inclusion is a key problem for teachers worldwide. Reading thisbook will help them find some practical answers.
