Despite the efforts that have been made to bring about improvements
in schools, some children and young people remain marginal by
current arrangements. The development of more inclusive schools
remains one of the biggest challenges facing education systems
throughout the world. However, inclusion remains a complex and
controversial issue, and the development of inclusive practices in
schools is not well understood.
Improving Schools, Developing Inclusion uses evidence from in-depth
research to provide new insights as to how this important agenda
should be addressed. The authors challenge many existing
assumptions about school improvement and educational reform, and
propose that the development of inclusive practices will only be
achieved by engaging in dialogue about the deeply held beliefs of
teachers and policy makers. In so doing, they provide a new way of
thinking about how schools can be made more inclusive.
The approach to inclusive development recommended in the book has
major implications for policy and practice in the field. It looks
at:
- Implications for the work of school leaders
- How staff teams work can together in order to address barriers to
participation and learning
- How schools can collect and use evidence in order to strengthen
their practices
- The sorts of critical and alternative perspectives to which
schools need access
- The implications for relationships between schools, local
authorities and researchers
At a time when policy-makers and practitioners are searching for
more effective ways of responding to student diversity, this
challenging book offers powerful messages as to what needs to be
done to move schools in a more inclusivedirection.
