There is considerable interest in diversity within education as our
communities become increasingly globalised and the evidence mounts
that diversity is in fact the norm within most educational
contexts. This book aims to highlight some of the issues
surrounding diversity that are apparent in all educational settings
regardless of the international location. It seeks to un-pack the
range and breadth of diversity that educators are likely to face.
In particular, the chapters in this book review research on the
potential issues, challenges and possible learning opportunities
that may arise for educators as a result of working with diverse
learners in diverse educational contexts. As teachers become
increasingly accountable for the quality of learning experiences
they are under pressure to ensure that discrimination is not only
recognised, but addressed in order that all participants experience
quality learning environments. Thus each chapter considers a
different aspect of diversity, raises issues of concern, at times
challenges conventional wisdom and offers insights as to how
educators may address these issues in their own context. Each
chapter includes an implications section for educators as they seek
to provide all learners with environments in which they can engage
in quality learning experiences and have equal opportunities.
