Implementing Inclusive Education
This revised and expanded second edition of Implementing Inclusive Education shows how Commonwealth countries are attempting to undertake inclusion in education, and will encourage all those charged with ensuring education for all to make certain that disabled children are fully included in all aspects of the education system.
Implementing Inclusive Education
The right to education for all children is enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and more recently in the Millenium Development Goals. However in developing countries the proportion if disabled children attending school is estimated at between less than one per cent and five per cent. Now the U.N. Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities, which came into force in May 2008, requires the development of an inclusive education system for all. Inclusion in education is a process of enabling all children to learn and participate within mainstream school systems, without segregation. This book shows how Commonwealth countries are attempting to undertake this transformative process, and provides examples of how inclusive education systems for all children have been established in pockets throughout the Commonwealth.

The Chautauqua Moment
More than a college or a summer resort or a religious assembly, the Chautauqua movement was a composite of all of these, and for five decades after it began in 1874, Chautauqua dominated adult education and reached millions with its summer assemblies, reading clubs, and traveling circuits. This critical study weaves the threads of Chautauqua into a single story and places it at the vital center of fin de siecle cultural and political history.
Understanding Right and Wrong
Everyone has a moral compass that guides them in determining good from bad or right from wrong. Those judgments can sometimes be flawed, however, a result of individuals being shaped by the people, laws, ideas, and environment around them. This accessible resource will assist readers as they develop a personal value system that can direct them through life. Not everything in the world can be absolutely certain, but what's important is making the best judgment calls possible and learning from those experiences.
Disability, Politics and the Struggle for Change
This book seeks to explore how disability is understood and the position and experiences of disabled people both within and across different societies. The authors explore the question of politics in relation to specific struggles, providing a wealth of insights and ideas, and examine the nature and value of a social model of disability. They criticize exclusionary barriers while advancing a more democratic and participatory society based on principles of equality, offer cross-cultural insights and present stimuli for debate and further research. The text is accessible, topical, and provides new and innovatory thinking. This book will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students, lecturers and researchers with interests in education, social policy, sociology and disability studies.
