Inclusion In Action 6th Edition by Iva Strnadová/Michael Arthur-Kelly/Phil Foreman
Quick Navigation

Overview

How can classroom teachers effectively differentiate learning and teaching programs to provide for the needs of every student in their class? Inclusion in Action begins by asking, “Why include all students in regular classrooms?” and then shows how this can be done. It outlines the philosophy of inclusive education and focuses on the use of individualised planning and effective teaching practices to maximise learning outcomes within positive and productive environments.

This sixth edition is grounded in evidence-based practices, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and Response to Intervention. Expansion and focus on these educational frameworks and approaches is in line with the research evidence about what works for students with diverse abilities across different education settings.

Premium online teaching and learning tools are available on the MindTap platform.
