This book provides new information on how various inclusion
policies have been implemented in different schools and school
districts in North America and in a range of European countries.
The purpose of inclusion policy is to prevent the marginalization
of people who experience unfavorable circumstances in life. It is
an approach to the education of students with disabilities that is
based on a commitment to what all members of a free society deserve
in order to become fully participating members--a fair chance to
find a meaningful place in their own communities. This book is a
kind of status report on what inclusive education has achieved and
what it may achieve in the future for children and youth with
disabilities. It describes the philosophical, legal, and practical
terrain covered by inclusion policy in general and inclusive
schooling in particular. Contributors assess inclusion policy and
suggest ways to reconceptualize it, bringing to their data analysis
a depth of experience and knowledge about public schooling in their
respective countries. Although inclusion of students with
disabilities in general education classes has been embraced by
politicians and educators calling for equal opportunity in our
society and is being incorporated into national and international
education laws, it continues to be controversial and the debate is
sometimes heated. A goal of this book is to shed some light on this
debate. Is inclusion mostly about student placement? Are students
with disabilities attaining social and learning membership in
general classrooms? Have they benefitted from inclusion? How about
students without disabilities? What have been the benefits? Must
learning take second priority to socialization and friendship? Are
teachers getting the training they need? How do parents feel about
inclusion programs? How do students feel? What kind of curricular
accommodations should be made? These and other questions are
addressed. This volume is based on original papers presented by the
contributing authors in October 1997 at the Rutgers Invitational
Symposium on Education on Inclusive Schooling: National and
International Perspectives.
