Inclusive Education in Action in South Africa (E-Book)
Description
In line with international thinking, South African education is moving towards a policy of inclusion. This is reflected in education policy and legislation developed after 1994. Inclusive education emphasizes the accommodation of all kinds of diversity, including diverse learning needs, within ordinary classrooms. This book focuses on how in-service teachers, pre-service teachers, parents, learners and specialists can contribute to the development of inclusive education and its implications for society, communities, schools and classrooms. The authors attempt to provide clarity on theoretical percpect8ives and to promote the integration of theory and practice by focussing on components of successful inclusion such as school and classroom environments, assessment and learning support.
