Towards Inclusive Schooling
Keywords:
Inclusion, Inclusive Education, Integration, Mainstream, Whole School Approach, Policies, Teaching Strategies, Methodologies, Support, S.E.N., Special Educational NeedsAbstract
True integration of children with special needs into the mainstream carries the requirement that schools themselves should change. The special needs task may in effect become the vehicle for whole school improvement. Schools that develop in ways that stimulate and develop the learning of staff members will in turn foster conditions that encourage the learning of all pupils.
