Synopsis

primarily a matter of attitude. There is no longer any argument that the inclusive approach cannot work, that teachers cannot undertake it without unfair stress, that the education of other students will be harmed, or that included students will suffer wholesale rejection by their peers. Such arguments are disproved by the fact that teachers successfully practice inclusion everyday. We know that any significant educational reform will draw resistance from some educators due to fear that their working conditions will be affected, that the task is beyond their capacities, and due to the implied or direct challenge to the manner in which they have understood and practised their profession. Dr. Bunch, a professor of education at York University, Toronto, and research associate Angela Valeo, a teacher, use the most up to date research to deal with topics such as challenging behaviour, effects of inclusion on the "other" students, teacher attitudes, academic achievement and more.
