Aprašymas

This book contributes significantly to the conversation about inclusion as a critical component of school culture. Educating All recounts Christopher McMaster's experience as a critical ethnographer in a school community, given the task of not only studying the institution's culture, but of creating change as well. The school used a whole-school framework known as the Index for Inclusion, which addressed students identified as having �special� or learning needs. The outcome of this process was the realization that the faculty and the system were not adequately providing optimum services to �special needs� students. By incorporating the special needs unit into a larger department and by utilizing it as a teaching center rather than a classroom, the staff and school leadership were able to produce a better alignment of value and practice and to provide a re-interpretation of just what is meant by �mainstream�.
