Diversity & Inclusion in Australian Schools is desigend for undergraduate students and presents a clear, socially-oriented approach to understanding and developing inclusion in education. The text conveys positive dimensions to promoting the implementation of inclusive education policy in practice, while at the same time focusing on those areas that are currently providing challenges to many teachers in inclusive learning environments. Its many practical examples and suggested classroom activities are balanced with relevant evidence-based information to assist students with their understanding of the issues about diverse abilities as they relate to inclusion in the classroom and associated school and community activities.
