Opis

This book studies the ways in which inclusive practices function in schools. Based on a large-scale research project it provides a secure understanding of what really works. Using a framework for analysing and understanding the factors that enable students to become effective social learners and highlighting those which can influence successful inclusive practice it examines how schools can establish and implement an agenda for change. Findings are discussed in relation to research from international studies in order to provide an understanding of how students and families can be supported to gain positive experiences from schooling and achieve desired learning outcomes.
