For special education courses in schools of early childhood, primary and secondary education.
This book is a considerable revision of the second edition of Educating Children with Diverse Abilities, and continues to build on the concept of inclusive curriculum and the diversity of learning needs.
This edition has been revised to give students a broad understanding of the principles of inclusive education, and the ways in which teachers can accommodate the differing learning needs of their students.
The text has now been split into four sections, each dedicated to specific areas of interest.
Section 1: Inclusive Societies deals with the context in which teaching and learning occurs and examines the many factors that affect what, how, and where we learn.
Section 2: Inclusive Schools looks at how inclusive schools bring together the human, physical, technological and education resources that provide opportunities that enable all students to achieve positive learning outcomes commensurate with their capabilities.
Section 3: Inclusive Practices examines literacy and numeracy across preschool, primary, the middle years and secondary.
Section 4: Inclusive Outcomes focuses on how an individual fits into the society in which they live.
New case studies have been added throughout to give students real-life scenarios to consider and analyse. These show that teaching does not come from reading alone and that practical activities allow them to gain insight and knowledge into the diversity of children's learning needs.
