Although inclusion is often viewed in schools as primarily serving students with disabilities, this volume expands the definition to include students with a broad range of traditionally marginalized differences (including but not limited to disabilities, cultural/linguistic/racial background, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and class). Chapters provide 12 key principles important to developing and applying a critical perspective toward educating diverse students and promoting equity and inclusion. Book Features [include]: personal stories that make concepts accessible to new and pre-service teachers; application exercises ideal for courses and professional development workshops; highlight boxes that raise additional questions for discussion and debate; and interactive, multimodal instructional activities to use with many kinds of learners."--Publisher's description UR - http://books.google.com/books?vid=isbn9780807754764 ER -
