Inclusive Education isn't Dead, it Just Smells Funny (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Positing inclusive education as a cornerstone of democracy, social equality and effective education, this unique book offers a timely response to the recent conservative backlash which has dismissed inclusive education as a field of research and practice which has become outdated, and unfit for purpose.



With profound insight and clarity, Slee delves deep into the architecture of modern-day schooling to show how inclusive education has been misappropiated and subverted, manifesting itself in a culture of ableism, an ethic of competitive individualism, and the illusion of 'special educational needs'. Unique in both form and content, the author draws on music and art theory, on real-life observations and global experience, contemporary education policy and practice, to reject calls for a return to segregated schooling, and put forward a compelling counterargument for an education system which models the kind of world we want our children to live in - a world of authentic, rather than divided communities.



A pertinent contribution to a modern-day debate with global relevance, Inclusive Education isn't Dead, it just Smells Funny is essential reading for researchers and educators, policy makers, parents and practitioners with an interest in inclusive education.
