Freedom, dignity and equality - the core values of the South
African Constitution (1996) - provide the foundation for developing
inclusive societies. "Inclusive education" is the term used to
describe an education system in which all learners, including those
with disabilities, are accepted and fully integrated not only
educationally, but socially as well. Participation lies at the
heart of inclusive education and cannot be restricted to one area
of life. What is taught has to be reinforced in all the child's
natural environments - the home, the school and the community.
Believe that all can achieve explores how the incorporation of
learning into real-life contexts forms the basis of meaningful
education, and highlights the pivotal role of the teacher in this
process. Believe that all can achieve pays specific attention to
practical implementation. Photographs and line drawings are used to
enhance understanding and application, and the narratives, case
studies, screening checklists and examples of best practice in the
home, the classroom and the community enable teachers to translate
the theory into classroom practice. Believe that all can achieve
looks at the child's participation patterns in terms of unique
abilities, health status and environmental and personal factors,
thus moving the focus from disability to ability; from the child in
isolation to the child in the community; from the medical model of
health care to the social model of health care. Believe that all
can achieve is aimed at practising classroom-based teachers who
want to improve their ability to support the increasingly diverse
learners in their classrooms, schools and communities. Education
students interested in special needs will also find this text
particularly beneficial.
A fresh perspective on Churchill and wartime life through the eyes
of the nurse charged with looking after the Prime Minister. In
February 1943, when the course of the Second World War hung in the
balance, 68-year-old Prime Minister Winston Churchill was stricken
with pneumonia. Doris Miles, from St Mary's Hospital in London, was
appointed as his private nurse. During her time with Churchill, she
wrote regularly to her husband, a Surgeon-Lieutenant with the Royal
Navy, about life at the centre of Britain's war effort, and about
Churchill himself. With unrivalled intimacy, her observations show
a very human and seldom-seen side of the great man and include many
amusing anecdotes. She describes with wry humour their arguments
and conversations, and life at Downing Street and Chequers. She
writes as well of the everyday events that carried on despite the
war; weddings and parties, family and friends, births and deaths,
and working life at one of London's busiest hospitals. She
describes her feelings, her fears and her hopes for the future.
This is a poignant and perceptive collection of previously
unpublished letters that shows an ordinary person's perspective of
Churchill through a crucial period of the war, as well as how the
war affected those at home, unfiltered by the lens of history. It
is also a love story, from a newly-wed young woman whose husband
went to war. This exclusive wartime source is adroitly woven into
the wider context of those turbulent times.
