This book was released on 2022-03-04 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about inclusive education, and is designed to prepare teachers to effectively teach exceptional children in primary schools in Southern Africa. It identifies key concepts associated with inclusive education, and discusses these in relation to issues in the reform of teacher education. It argues that the reform of teacher education for inclusive education is an important activity in improving educational equity. The theoretical framework for inclusion is outlined and examples of how teachers might engage in more inclusive practice are presented, as are the benefits of inclusive education. The book argues that preparation for inclusive education requires a new framework that calls for partnership between universities and schools. It is envisaged that the book will fill a gap in literature and practice, thereby enabling policy makers, college administrators and lecturers to review policies, teacher education curricula and pedagogical issues pertaining to preparing teachers for working in inclusive schools. As such, it will provide a springboard for teachers’ colleges and universities to improve teacher preparation for inclusive education.

This book was released on 2024-01-10 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Pedagogy - Inclusion, , language: English, abstract: Inclusive education was adopted at the Salamanca World Conference on Special Needs Education (1994) as the best educational measure capable of dealing adequately with varying learning needs in the general classroom setting. Most of the participating countries e.g. The United States, South Africa, Canada etc. have gone far in providing inclusive education. However, Nigeria, being one of the countries that recognize Inclusive education, has failed to create conducive atmosphere for the proper take-off of this wonderful educational policy by putting in place all the necessary apparatus needed. Based on this observation, the study was carried out to assess the level of awareness among regular primary and secondary school teachers as well as suitability status of the schools for implementation of inclusion. The study used ten randomly selected schools, and from these schools, 50 teachers were also randomly selected (five from each school). A questionnaire tagged "Baseline Questionnaire for Teachers on Inclusive Education" was used to elicit information on the teachers' level of awareness, as well as the teachers' view on the suitability of the schools for inclusive education practice. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics. The result showed that the teachers' awareness level about inclusive education is very low, and the majority of them also view their schools as unsuitable for accommodating students with special needs. Recommendations based on the findings were made to make Inclusive education a reality in the country.

Book excerpt: In the contemporary Indian education landscape, "Inclusion" has emerged as the latest buzzword. The Indian Government, through its Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan, advocates the practice of Inclusive Education for children with Special Educational Needs (CWSN). The philosophy of Inclusion asserts that every child should, to the greatest extent possible, study in regular schools. This necessitates schools making adjustments in their routines and eliminating both attitudinal and physical barriers to accommodate the needs of CWSN. This research represents an endeavor to examine the concept of a school-specific Inclusive Education Plan (IEP), meticulously crafted and executed with a specific child and school in mind. The journey from selecting a suitable sample to implementing and evaluating the IEP is systematically detailed across seven chapters. The First Chapter centers on the rationale, title, objectives, and limitations of this study. The Second Chapter aligns this research with the existing body of knowledge in the field of Inclusive Education and the transition from Special to Inclusive Education. The Third Chapter compiles insights drawn from the experiences of fellow researchers. In the Fourth Chapter, we outline the study's design and provide essential details concerning the first four phases. These phases relate to the macro level of the study, encompassing aspects such as teacher awareness of the basic concept of Inclusive Education, the formulation of school-specific awareness training schedules, the execution of in-service teacher training, classroom observations, and the preparation of case profiles and school training needs profiles. The fifth chapter furnishes crucial details pertaining to the subsequent three phases. The primary focus here is on the planning, development, implementation, and evaluation of the IEP. The Sixth Chapter offers a concise glimpse into the journey beyond this present research. It delves into the major findings, implications for Inclusive schools, suggestions for further research, and the valuable lessons we have gleaned.

Download or read book Preparing Teachers for Inclusive Education written by Francis Simui and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the process of preparing teachers for inclusive education.The author draws insight from a research study on the English education system and then generates lessons for the countries of the South as they attempt to reform their education curricula in favour of inclusive education. A special reference is made to Zambia as a point of reflection. The book is consistent with the international community's strong thrust towards the concept of inclusive education. In particular, the United Nations organisations have argued that the principle of inclusive education should be at the centre of education reforms in order to address the challenges of exclusion. This would suggest that teacher education should be at the core of inclusive education development. However, there is no consensus on how teachers should be prepared for for it, leaving many education systems perpetuating practices that lead to marginalisation and exclusion of some learners. To this effect, this book serves as a catalyst in the implementation of inclusive education. It is a must read for schools, colleges, universities, teacher educators, education planners, inclusive education activists and scholars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can you develop effective teaching strategies so that all the children in your classroom are included in meaningful and enriching learning experiences? What can you do to help young people from diverse backgrounds achieve their full potential? Addressing the wide variety of issues of diversity and inclusion routinely encountered in today’s classrooms, this comprehensive text provides both a theoretical background and practical strategies. Chapters from leading figures on inclusive education present and analyse the latest debates, research studies and current initiatives, including considerations for teaching and learning and concluding with key questions for reflection and additional resources. Moving beyond simple theory about diversity, to what this means for real teachers’ practice, the contributions focus on issues relating to values and professional practice for teachers, emphasising inclusive approaches and the importance of understanding the perspectives of learners. Topics discussed include: understanding inclusive education ethnic and cultural diversity challenging behaviour bullying gender identity and sexuality gifted and talented learners traveller children special educational needs collaborative working in schools the perspective of parents. Designed to stimulate and strengthen teachers’ professional understanding, the book also reflects on legislative duties, personal values and the importance of listening to the voice of individuals who experience disadvantage in educational settings. Teaching and Learning in Diverse and Inclusive Classrooms is a key resource for teachers, supporting their learning throughout their initial training and early professional development. It will also be of interest to more experienced teachers interested in diversity and inclusion, particularly those mentoring NQTs through their induction and Masters level studies.
