Handbook of Special Education
The Handbook of Special Education brings greater clarity to the ever-expanding topic of educating exceptional children. Across the volume, chapter authors review and integrate existing research, identify strengths and weaknesses, note gaps in the literature, and discuss implications for practice and future research. Chapters follow a consistent model: Definition, Causal Factors, Identification, Behavioral Characteristics, Assessment, Educational Programming, and Trends and Issues. This book provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of special education in the United States including cultural and international comparisons. The Handbook of Special Education discusses emerging trends in the field for researchers and practitioners while also providing foundational material for graduate students and scholars. The third edition has been updated and shortened to make it more accessible and helpful to all of its users, taking into account the recent developments and most current academic research in the field.
Learning from Finland
Since its successful performance in the PISA studies, at the latest, the Finnish education system has become the focus of public interest. In the media coverage of recent years, the Finnish school system has often been brought into play as a prime example of important educational policy challenges. This is particularly true of the issue of inclusive education. While few studies to date have seriously questioned the Finnish "educational miracle", this book aims to provide an objective account of the current situation in Finland. In doing so, it takes a differentiated and critical look at inclusive schooling in Finland. In order to achieve this, the inclusive school and classroom culture is examined using qualitative research approaches in selected Finnish schools. The building blocks of an inclusive school developed by Reich (2014) are consulted as criteria for analysis. Based on the findings of this study, it is finally examined and discussed what Germany (and other countries) can learn from Finland with regard to the topic of inclusion.

Research for Inclusive Quality Education
This book explores contemporary perspectives and research on inclusion, providing a platform for discussing inclusion at an international level and its intersections with belonging and equity. How inclusion is defined and applied between schools, districts, and even countries can vary markedly; thus, an international understanding of inclusion is urgently needed. Experts from several countries in different regions present the latest research in the field of inclusion and provide practices and strategies guided by empirical research to address some of these issues. Schools are contextual organisations that represent the broader society, culture, and values in which they reside. Thus, how inclusion is practised at the society level has an implication on schools. The way we think about inclusion has shifted dramatically in the last decade - we now recognise that inclusion represents a broad spectrum of racial, ethnic, cultural, and sexual diversity that is seen in almost all modern schools. This book presents international perspectives and research on inclusion, belonging and equity to work towards a more consistent, collaborative, and global understanding.
Navigating Students’ Mental Health in the Wake of COVID-19
This book highlights the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health needs of children and adolescents in order to shed light on future practice and reform needed to better deal with the aftermath of such devastating events. The book identifies the conditions during any public health crisis that heighten the mental health needs of children and adolescents and suggests the reforms of mental health services needed to better meet the needs of children and youths during and following pandemics and other public health crises. Importance is placed not only on addressing the effects of COVID-19 but on anticipating and preparing for other public health disruptions to the lives of those who...
On Educational Inclusion
Combining examination of policy with primary research and analysis of up-to-date literature, On Inclusive Education explores the various interpretations of inclusion, its history in education, and a range of its applications internationally. With an international complement of authors, this book features detailed yet accessible chapters on a range of topics, including inclusion in law; academically gifted students; students with severe, sensory, and multiple impairments; and case studies from Germany, Portugal, the Netherlands, and the Russian Federation. The book also examines the impact of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities—and Article 24 in particular—and the likely legacies and future implications of recent inclusion movements. For postgraduate students and academics researching in the field of inclusive education, and also for school administrators and policy makers, On Inclusive Education is an essential resource.
Im Dunkel der Sexualität
Legierungen von Sexualität und Gewalt gehören zum gesellschaftlichen Alltag und sind keine Ausnahmen. Der vorliegende Band ist die erste umfassende Annäherung an ein Thema, das bislang in der theologischen Ethik nur in diffusem Licht abgehandelt wurde. Zentrale Begriffe werden geklärt, sexualethische Grenzziehungen diskutiert und neu profiliert sowie wesentliche Facetten gewalttätiger Sexualität unter ständigem Rekurs auf außertheologische Wissensbestände und aktuelle Problemlagen beleuchtet. Das Buch bietet ein Instrumentarium, um den dringend gebotenen sexualethischen Diskurs innerhalb wie außerhalb von Theologie und Kirche begriffsscharf führen und in der Auseinandersetzung mit gegenwärtigen Herausforderungen zu einem begründeten eigenen Urteil finden zu können.
