The examples given will help understanding of pupils from a variety of backgrounds. Perfect for the staffroom library and a good trigger for a training session. - Sarah Brew, Parents in Touch Teachers can easily look at the chapters that relate to their situation and the extensive references will be valuable for those doing further research. The examples given will help understanding of pupils from a variety of backgrounds. Perfect for the staffroom library and a good trigger for a training session. - Sarah Brew, Parents in Touch Moor Eric, Institute of Education I strongly recommend the need for 'Key issues for new teachers' to provide valuable support to newly qualified teachers in order for them to participate effectively within the learning environment. Due to the rich nature of the new edition that incorporates legislations, current Codes of Practice, and the various Children and Education Acts, I approve the need of a new edition. Although the book stresses the view that it has key issues for new teachers, it will benefit not only new teachers but old ones as well who would need to be informed on the various legislations and current Code of Practice. The book would also be valid for SENCOs and other members within special needs schools who intend to participate in teaching and learning in diverse and inclusive classrooms. Sue Ralph, editor of JORSEN (Journal of Research in Special Education) Do you recommend that there is a need for a new edition? Very much so. I think this will be a very useful text. The whole area of teaching and learning in diverse and inclusive classrooms in very important and I know of no other books which cover such a wide range of areas. I especially like the new chapter Religious and cultural diversity and inclusive practice.This is much needed and long overdue.
