"The focus of this book is on how schools can become inclusive communities,providing optimal learning environments for a wide diversity of the students attending regular schools, and the strategies that can be used to optimise the educational experiences of all students. The various chapters in this book include reference to indigenous students, students for whom English ism an additional dialect (EAL/D students), gifted and talented students, and students with a range of additional education support needs.
The book is divided into four parts. The first part sets the scene by providing an overview of concepts, principles, legislation and policy related to inclusion, with a focus on inclusive practices in the school. The second part examines effective teaching and learning practices, including curriculum adaptation, planning for teaching and supporting positive behaviour. The third part deals with specific difficulties in communication, literacy and numeracy, which occur in many students with a disability. The final section examines inclusive practice in three common school divisions: early childhood education, primary schooling and secondary schools transitioning into post-school options." --[From the editors]
