This book answers two questions: What does the implementation of
inclusive education require of a system of education and all parts
of the system? How do various parts of the education system act on
their commitment to inclusive educational practice? Decades after
major legislation (i.e., the Civil Rights Act, the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act, and the Education for All Handicapped
Children Act) made high-quality education a fundamental right for
all children in the United States, the dream of diverse, inclusive,
democratic schooling has yet to be realized. Nevertheless, some
classrooms, schools, districts, states, and universities have made
progress. Inclusive Education: A Systematic Perspective explores
the theoretical implications of inclusive practice as well as
illustrative case studies and evaluation findings from states,
educator preparation programs, districts, and schools that have
reframed their work around the principles of inclusive practice.
Whether these organizations position the work as "social justice
education," "culturally responsive teaching," or "inclusion," their
efforts lead in the same direction- toward higher quality and more
equitable education for all. The chapters will be relevant to
graduate students, faculty members, and education leaders, at all
levels, who seek a comprehensive overview of the commitment and
practice of "inclusive education". Chapters vary in their
approaches to the topic, some presenting theoretical underpinnings,
others describing practices or programs at particular sites, others
reporting findings from empirical studies, and edited interviews
with state and district leaders of inclusive-education initiatives.
The book explores why inclusion is important and how it can be
accomplished.
