Infos

From Inclusion to Engagement challenges the ideologically driven academic discourse that has come to dominate inclusive education by presenting research-based knowledge about what actually works.

• Presents an innovative approach rooted in a biopsychosocial theoretical perspective - an approach that is still relatively misunderstood within the educational sphere
• Offers insights based on an extensive review of contemporary international research in the field
• Avoids the biases of ideology in favour of science-based social and educational outcomes
• The first comprehensive account of evidence-based interventions for students with Social, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties

Paul Cooper is Professor of Education at the University of Leicester and a Chartered Psychologist. He has lectured internationally and is Editor of The International Journal of Emotional Education.

Professor Cooper was also the editor of the quarterly journal Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties for 14 years.

Rezensionen

This is a very timely and welcome book which thoroughly addresses
the issue of inclusion in education, especially as regards pupils
with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. It critiques
'universalist inclusion', which is taken to deny the
value of positively-used labels and specialist provision. It argues
for an 'engagement model' which sees inclusion as all
pupils participating in learning, not necessarily in the same
ordinary school classrooms. This is a book to read for all those
interested in theory and practice in the field.

--Brahm Norwich, Professor of Educational Psychology
and Special Educational Needs, University of Exeter, UK

In this book the authors provide a thoughtful and stimulating
examination of how our more vulnerable pupils are viewed. After
examining the labeling issue, the authors make intervention
recommendations based on the latest research evidence. In sum, the
authors acknowledge there are a multitude of approaches and
emphasize that the ultimate goal is to devise practices that make a
real difference in the lives of the students being served.

--Lyndal M. Bullock, Regents Professor, Special
Education, University of North Texas, USA

Inclusion is a key problem for teachers worldwide. Reading this
book will help them find some practical answers.

--Maurice Galton, Senior Research/Teaching Fellow,
University of Cambridge, UK
