School inclusion is a perennially popular yet polemic topic in most
countries. This timely book explores what is known about inclusion,
highlighting outstanding examples of inclusion to provide a
complete overview of successful inclusion.The book concentrates on
how to make inclusion work - from the view of internationally
established practitioners in the field of teacher education - with
a focus on what variables are likely to make a difference in
practice.What Works in Inclusion? covers three key aspects:
Theories of inclusive education Examples of how inclusion can be
encouraged and facilitated What prevents inclusion from being
successful Drawing on case studies from a wide range of countries,
including USA, Australia, UK, Canada and Italy, there is focus on
the positive aspects of inclusion: 'how' it can work and 'what
actually works', helping you understand successful aspects of
inclusion as well as developing an understanding of how inclusive
education can best be implemented.In addition to the research-based
accounts of how to make inclusion work, the book considers the
difficulties that can arise in attempting to achieve successful
inclusion and how such barriers can be overcome, to ensure a
successful inclusive experience for both teachers and students.
This is a key text for all serving and aspiring teachers and
SENCOs, as well as those interested in inclusion and SEN in
schools, and will inform and challenge in equal
measure.Contributors: Adrian F Ashman, Robert Conway, Joanne

Whittaker"Focusing on both theory and practice, this timely volume
provides a refreshing set of challenges to all of us who are
committed to the development of more inclusive education systems.
The presentation of ideas and experiences from different countries
is particularly powerful in this respect." Professor Mel Ainscow,
University of Manchester, UK"Boyle and Topping provide a collection
of salient chapters on critical issues pertaining to inclusive
education from a collection of world leaders in the field. This
book is scholarly, current, and research-based, yet at the same
time readable and informative for a wide audience of university
teachers and their students, along with practicing educators in the
field. Recognizing that inclusive education is an ongoing project
this book nevertheless provides a rigorous gestalt of inclusive
education theory, practical advice for implementation, and
potential barriers to success. This is one of the finest books on
this topic currently available." Professor Tim Loreman, Faculty of
Education, Concordia University College of Alberta, Canada
