Despite the impressive growth of inclusive education around the
world, questions and considerations about equity have been
neglected. This edited volume makes a major contribution to the
field of inclusive education by analyzing equity concerns that have
emerged from the implementation of inclusive education models in
nine nations on five continents. The authors examine how disparate
approaches to inclusive education are mediated by the official and
implicit goals of public education; by access to intellectual,
human, and material resources; and by collective understanding of
and educational responses to sociocultural differences. Inclusive
Education provides critical reviews of research on this important
education reform movement, as well as a refined theoretical
understanding of the ways equity is addressed. It also offers
lessons for future policy and research that are mindful of equity.
This comprehensive book is grounded in the authentic experiences of
educators who have done, and continue to do, the messy everyday
work of transformative school reform. The work of these
contributors, in conjunction with research done under the aegis of
the National Institute of Urban School Improvement (NIUSI),
demonstrates how schools and classrooms can move from a deficit
model to a culturally responsive model that works for all learners.
To strengthen relationships between research and practise, chapters
are coauthored by a practitioner/researcher team and include a case
study of an authentic urban reform situation. This volume will help
practitioners, reformers, and researchers make use of emerging
knowledge and culturally responsive pedagogy to implement reforms
that are more congruent with the strengths and needs of urban
education contexts.
