Embed the principles of inclusion into your students' teaching practices.
Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement presents a clear, socially-oriented approach to understanding and developing inclusive education. It prepares pre-service teachers for diverse classrooms and helps them develop strategies to engage students of varying backgrounds, needs and abilities.
This new edition has been updated to reflect changes in legislation, policy, regulation, curriculum, research and practice. It takes a fresh look at what inclusion means and explores the new dimensions of disadvantage or limitations for children to fully participate in education. Retaining a strong focus on student engagement, it addresses areas that are proving challenging for teachers in engaging all students in inclusive learning environments - these include a greater number of children from immigrant families, the increasing impact of poverty in Australia, the greater influence of technology on education and an increasing divide between rich and poor.
With extensive learning features that blend theoretical issues and context with practical skills, this book provides pre-service teachers with the knowledge and understanding to manage classroom challenges and develop inclusive learning environments
