Inclusive Primary Teaching cover

This is an invaluable and fully updated text on inclusive practice for all primary trainees and teachers and for those working towards the National Award SEN Co-ordination. It provides an equality- and child-centred approach to inclusion, combining both theory and practice while promoting critical thinking about the complex issues involved. Scenarios are used as the basis for unpicking major topics and provide opportunities for learning in context, while questions and reflections encourage deep thinking about key learning points. This second edition has been fully revised throughout and now includes:

  • full reference to the new Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice (2014) as well as the Children and Families Act (2014) and Behaviour2Learn
  • two completely new chapters on understanding learners who are vulnerable and understanding learners with communication difficulties
  • extended thinking activities and extended reflections to support M-level study
  • an improved organisation with emphasis on the national priorities.

I thought it was very good. There were lots of links to practice through rich case studies. The book linked in current policy very effectively. The text was accessible and linked theoretical perspectives in well.
- Jonathan Glazzard, University of HuddersfieldIt is a very up to date and written in an accessible style. Easy to read and full of great materials. I used the first edition and liked it but this is even better!
- Claire Head, University of HullOverall this is a concise and compact book which sensitively explores a wide range is issues relating to the support of diverse learning needs in mainstream primary classrooms.
