Download or read book Singapore Mainstream Preschool Teachers and the Inclusion of Children with Special Needs in their Classroom written by Kalavathi Sabapathy and published by Partridge Singapore. This book was released on 2014 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusive education is an area of growing interest worldwide over the past decade among policy makers, education officers as well as parents. This book tracks the development in the domain of special education in Singapore tracing the provisions made for the inclusion of children with special needs into mainstream schools. While it is observed that there have been actual policies in place to allow this shift in outlook at the primary and secondary level, much more can be done at the preschool level. Children learn the basics of literacy and numeracy as well as life skills at a very young age. Hence, it is important to provide the platform to form the foundation of their habits and attitudes at an early stage. Research has shown that inclusive education benefits children with special needs as they learn from observation and gain a sense of belonging and self-worth through interaction with their typically developing peers. Inclusive education also serves to cultivate acceptance and understanding in typically developing children. Therefore, it is important to ensure that more is done to implement inclusive education at the formative years of children. Some of the challenges faced in implementing inclusion at the preschool level have been identified and suggestions have been made to overcome these challenges. This book intends to create awareness as well as to push for actual changes in the education policies so that inclusive education will be embraced by all and become a reality on a larger scale.
Download or read book A Z of Inclusion in Early Childhood written by Mary Dickins and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2014-02-16 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of inclusion is complex and messy and although many definitions abound it has never been fully clarified in legislation and guidance. The purpose of this book is to consider how professionals working with young children and their families can better understand the concept of inclusion and successfully establish, examine and evaluate the building blocks and framework that should underpin inclusive practice. This book represents a genuine attempt to identify the challenges and barriers to inclusion for all children; to understand them and in some measure, to suggest how they might be overcome.This book is particularly important because: It is based on a broad understanding of inclusion that embraces all forms of difference including race, gender, ability and class It draws on good practice developed over the years and describes challenges for the future It takes into account contemporary issues such as austerity measures, cuts to public services and a changing political landscape It brings the reader up to date with current theory, analysis, controversies and debates This book is essential reading for early years professionals and students who wish to increase their knowledge and understanding of these issues which can divide society; especially in terms of the impact on young children and their families. "Mary Dickins has given us a book which is a beautifully written guide to the principles and practice of inclusion in young children's care and education. For some this will be an introduction to, for others a reminder of, knowledge and skills which we have developed over many years but which are too often misunderstood or ignored. Through her alphabetical approach it is possible to address a huge number of issues in a very accessible way, either dipping into it as needed or reading from beginning to end as a story of how we can improve the experiences of young children in childcare, and every entry comes with a list of references to enable readers to take the subject further. Informing the whole book is her knowledge and experience of this issue and her passion to support the development of a shared vision and understanding of it. As she says: 'inclusion is not a fixed state…we all have responsibility and a role to play in challenging discrimination and oppression'." Sue Owen, Independent early years consultant "I have learnt a lot from reading this book - and there is a lot to learn! Its scope is so enormous that inevitably it cannot cover everything, for example my pet topic of 'the power of assumptions'! It identifies the complexities of the various aspects of inclusion and touches on the inter-relatedness of many - for example, race and class. As readers dip into it I hope it will trigger further reading on particular issues and also stimulate more discussion of how institutional procedures and practices, deeply embedded in our society (the 'system'), remain barriers to inclusion. We all need to identify, understand and break down such barriers so that every one of our precious children, wherever they are, feel they truly belong." Jane Lane, Advocate worker for racial equality in the early years "Mary Dickins has long experience in early years and equality issues and writes from a defined value system. She encourages a proactive and anti-discriminatory approach which contributes to the development of - in her words - 'a shared vision, understanding and sense of purpose'. Mary stresses the importance of individual responsibility and transfer of specialist skills to a mainstream context. This book is a good addition to the continuing debate on inclusion from a clear children's rights perspective and a valuable resource for the early years sector, providing a framework to embed effective inclusive practice."

Download or read book International Perspectives on Inclusion within Society and Education written by Mabel Ann Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Perspectives on Inclusion within Society and Education explores how the theme of inclusion in education and society plays out across different nations and cultures. Covering topics like dual citizenship, political loyalty, and migration, it includes important discussions around poverty, educational disadvantage, youth radicalisation and inequality. With perspectives from a wide range of countries, including the USA, UK, Finland, Kosovo, Albania, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and India, this book explores how issues of inclusion are often decided by a majority for the majority, which can lead to included minorities feeling disadvantaged and paradoxically excluded. While setting up a strong case for inclusion in society and education, it considers factors such as poverty and mental health both nationally and internationally and evaluates the effectiveness of additional financial resources and educational support in creating an inclusive world. This book will be of great interest for academics, researchers, and post graduate students in the fields of comparative education, inclusive education, sociology, political sciences and social work.
Download or read book Revitalising Communities in a Globalising World written by Lena Dominelli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revitalising Communities in a Globalising World explores the opportunities and constraints that the dynamics of globalisation present for human development in a range of different countries and situations. Arguing that globalisation is currently a system of organising social relations along neoliberal lines, this timely volume examines practical examples of how people respond to significant social changes in their communities. The idea of communities is deconstructed to show that globalisation has collapsed the boundaries of time, space and place in ways that have exacerbated inequalities, at the same time giving rise to unparalleled riches for some. The book encompasses a number of case studies that speak to policymakers, practitioners, educators and students interested in studying globalisation and making the most of its potential for change.
