How teachers might best be prepared to work in schools with an
increasingly diverse pupil population is of concern to educational
academics, professionals and governments around the world. Changes
that have taken place in legislation and practice often fail to
taken into account how practitioners can ensure that all children
and young people are able to achieve.
The focus of this international text is on innovative practices
for preparing teachers to work in inclusive classrooms and schools.
Drawing on both pre and in-service training methods, the expert
contributors to this book follow three major themes:
- social and political challenges regarding teacher education
providing an historical perspective on the training of teachers,
tensions in preparing teachers for inclusion, cultural issues, the
relationship between educational funding and practices and
collaborative measures to support a whole school approach
- innovative approaches in pre-service teacher preparation
discussing a range of innovative models and approaches used in
pre-service teacher education courses
- engaging professional development for inservice teachers
reviewing a range of approaches employed to engage working teachers
and help them establish curricula and pedagogy that meets the needs
of all students in their classes.
Each chapter will include a list of proposed learning outcomes,
a theoretical or conceptual framework to help readers develop the
proposed innovation, an overview of recent research, discussion of
the research data available and a discussion of the international
implications and challenges, summarising in suggestions for a
positive way forward.
Teacher Education for Inclusion: Changing Paradigms and
Innovative Approaches is essential reading for practising teacher
educators, school leaders, university lecturers in education and
post graduate students.
