This book provides clear and flexible frameworks for effective inclusive teaching, and explains how to teach and plan for supporting any child’s learning, no matter what their needs are.

- explains and contextualizes current beliefs towards SEN
- provides models for practice

- offers interactive reflection points throughout
- links out to research with suggestions for further reading
Whether you’re training to be a primary school teacher or already in the classroom this book will make you feel confident to be the inclusive teacher you need to be.
A really useful book for my Early Years students as it explains current policy & legislation, looks at the prime areas of the EYFS and good practice. The tasks, exercises and case studies are useful.
A comprehensive guide to inclusion and will be used as a recommended text.
The book is well structured and written. It is useful as teacher students' handbook where they can have various approaches to inclusion and its needs as a summary. The learning objectives and summaries clarify the information as well as essential examples about cases in real life. The authors have cited the experts in inclusive education. Despite considering inclusion and diversity widely, the book focuses somewhat too much on inclusive education to help learners with special needs. However, I am going to recommend the book both for my teacher students and my colleagues in our primary teacher education as well.
Interesting read, covers many essential areas with practical suggestions and ideas. Very good
This book provides an up to date view of inclusive practices in schools. it gives some historical background to inclusion as well as guidance for teachers and other professionals to best support children with SEN in mainstream schools. As a behaviour specialist I have found this especially useful when considering how in 'include' more difficult children.
An accessible guide for teachers. Whilst I would not underestimate the many external challenges, facing teachers, seeking to develop a truly inclusive classroom, I really appreciated the key message; start with the child. It reminded me how easily the individual can be lost: replaced by a label. I could definitely see the value of the spiral model, too. Ultimately, I felt the book was empowering as it emphasised the professional expertise of teachers.
A useful book for intending primary practitioners. Good blend of theory , reflection points and practical advice.
an informative and easy to use book
