Curricula for Diversity in Education (Paperback)

"Learning for All" is a series of two books which describe and promote an education system that is responsive to the diversity of all students, irrespective of their gender, race, background, level of attainment, abilities or disabilities. The books focus on the education of children and young people who experience difficulties in learning or who have disabilities. They emphasize the inclusion and participation of pupils within a comprehensive system of British primary and secondary schools, in attaining an education system that recognizes, accepts, and provides for diversity.
"Curricula for Diversity in Education" is about educational practice and some of the children and young adults whose concerns must be considered in developing that practice. Emphasizing collaborative learning strategies, it explores and challenges the nature of learning within Britain's National Curriculum, looking across the curriculum at ways of including diversityin science, history, mathematics and poetry. As the move toward educational diversity grows, so the needs of pupils and the roles of teachers change.
The authors examine the issue of support teaching in detail, looking particularly at examples of work with bilingual students, children of transient families, deaf children, and the microtechnology developed to support student learning. The book also focuses on groups of children and young people who attract special concern, such as children who are bullied and young people affected by HIV and AIDS. The final section takes a step back to look at issues and methods of basic research, describing and reflecting on experience and educational practice.
