Synopsis

The term ‘inclusive schooling’ has risen in prominence during recent years. However, what constitutes inclusive schooling and how such an approach should be developed at national, local and school levels is contested and complex. Conceptually, the term ‘inclusive schooling’ has been broadened from a focus mainly on the inclusion of pupils with ‘special educational needs’ into mainstream schooling to a concern about the ‘needs’ of all pupils through ‘inclusive schooling for all’, linked particularly to debates about social justice and social inclusion. This book provides an overview of significant developments and summarises emerging research findings relevant to perspectives, policies and practices associated with promoting inclusive schooling for all. Drawing on international research, the chapters focus on issues and strategies associated with special educational needs, ‘race’ and ethnicity, gender, social disadvantage, involving parents, working with other agencies, school effectiveness research and school improvement approaches
