A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

'This book would interest and inform any practitioner from managers to students.'- Early Years Update

'A 'must buy' for anyone interested in inclusive education in the early years' - Senco Update

'Refreshingly, in this book, inclusion is not about a narrow group of students defined as 'special' but about increasing the participation of everybody involved in early years settings.' - Tony Booth, Professor of Inclusive and International Education Canterbury Christ Church University

'Fascinating reading . . . I will be recommending this book to colleagues and adding it to my essential reading list for students' - Nursery World

'A very helpful book which both challenges and informs. . . [It] brings together important evidence to help us find a positive way forward' - Early Education

'Well-written and accessible. . . The book is rich with the reported experiences and ideas of educators and provides clear pointers for further research and discussion.' - Support for Learning

This insightful text shows how practices in a range of early years settings can be influenced by the attitudes and responses of adults in those settings. The authors argue for a broad definition of inclusion, not limited to those with learning difficulties or impairment, but addressing factors affecting all members of the learning community. The book presents a number of original stories (generated from a recent research project carried out by the authors) of how the lives of practitioners, parents and children have been affected by inclusive and non- inclusive practices.

This new and revised edition includes an increased focus on:

" inclusion as a political issue

" social class

" poverty

" children's rights

" the inclusion of gay and lesbian parents and staff

This is an essential text for all early years students, practitioners and researchers who want to become familiar with current research i
