• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Is 'inclusion' in schools really possible? Every child in every class in every school is different. And yet we have a 'one size fits all' curriculum that everyone must follow. How can we best deal with this apparent anomaly, in order to provide meaningful learning experiences for all students?

Teachers are now discouraged from grouping children according to abilities - inclusion is the buzzword. So, radical solutions are needed to help all chidlren learn within a group, whatever their personal and academic needs, and whatever their social background.

This accessible guide
- Discusses the elements of diversity such as personality, intelligence, styles of learning and communicating, social class, gender, race, culture, ethnicity, learning difficulties, disability, views and values
- Suggests practical inclusion strategies to make teachers' lives easier and their students' study less stressful
- Offers ways to give all students more chance to talk, think, express feelings and share views.

This book also contains a comprehensive overview of common learning difficulties and medical conditions in children - including characteristics of each condition, classroom organization tips, and contact details of relevant support groups - with the aim of helping educators further develop their management of individuals and diverse groups.

If you have an interest in making education work - whether you are a teacher, teaching assistant, school counsellor, social worker, therapist, psychologist or other educator - Inclusion in Schools is for you.
