Policy and Power in Inclusive Education
The movement towards inclusive education is undoubtedly an international phenomenon, and it has resulted in the development of policy initiatives impacting on schools in all nations. This informative, wide-ranging text brings together key illustrative material from an international field. It adopts a critical perspective on policy issues, but goes beyond this by making explicit the assumptions that drive policy development. Readers will be encouraged to develop their own framework, allowing them to conduct policy analysis and evaluation within their own educational context. Students and researchers interested in how principles of inclusive education are being translated into educational practices around the world will find this book an enlightening read.
Needs, Rights, and Opportunities
By introducing a human rights perspective to special education, this book detaches the concept of special needs from its origin in handicap and roots it instead in human rights. Also implied in this view is the notion of the teacher or policymaker as an advocate for children's rights.
Managing Partnership in Teacher Training and Development
The trend towards partnership between higher education and other education providers is a dominant theme of 1990s education. Political attention has focused on initial teacher training, but in this book, the authors argue for a policy of professional development which links initial teacher education, continuing professional development, and research. Written by experienced teachers and teacher educators, this book examines current practice and discusses the policy and practical management issues which need to be addressed in planning and managing career-long teacher education, development and research within a partnership framework.

Restructuring and Quality: Issues for Tomorrow's Schools

It provides a broad and international picture of educational reform.
