Education for Inclusion and Diversity

A comprehensive guide to inclusive education in Australian schools.

Education for Inclusion and Diversity, 7th edition gives readers a complete overview of the context, fundamentals and practices of inclusive teaching in contemporary Australian schools. It is both a source text and a practical guide that systematically introduces the concept of inclusion - alongside a discussion of practical teaching methods and the strategies to implement them - to ensure that the learning needs of all students, at every level of schooling are identified and accommodated.

This text covers the breadth of issues that many newcomers to teaching face, as well as those who have been practising teachers for years. The seventh edition has been thoroughly updated to align with current educational policy, graduate competencies and teaching practices in Australia.
