Overview

Positively engage with your students in meaningful, relevant and successful ways. Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement presents a clear, socially oriented approach to understanding and developing inclusive education. It will prepare you for diverse classrooms and help you develop strategies to engage students with varying backgrounds, needs and abilities. It takes a fresh look at what inclusion means and explores the disadvantages or limitations that prevent children fully participating in education. Retaining a strong focus on student engagement and school belonging, it addresses areas that are proving challenging for teachers in engaging all students in inclusive learning environments: a greater number of children from immigrant families, the increasing impact of poverty in Australia, increasing levels of school dropout and the influence of technology and Artificial Intelligence systems in education. This book will provide you with the knowledge and understanding to manage classroom challenges and develop inclusive learning environments as well as meeting the requirements of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers . New to this Edition: Updated research and three new chapters to align with recent legislation, policy and curriculum changes since the last edition. Coverage of a range of topics with a stronger focus on students with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage and with English as a second language. Reconceptualisation of behavioural issues and whether they are a concern in themselves or are associated with a primary disability, such as autism spectrum disorder. Updated Stories from the Classroom, Effective Practice, Apply your Knowledge, and Pause and Reflect questions offer current examples of how to implement inclusive education theory in practice.
