This edited volume discusses UNESCO's contributions to inclusive education over the past 20 years, the normative and technical leadership roles this organization has been playing together with its peers and competitors in educational development, and the current status of this issue in academic debates, as well as conceptualizations from different cultures. The chapters reflect and critically discuss a range of positions on the relation between inclusive education, education for all, and special needs education and particularly express the role disability plays in these thematic contexts. The book brings to light that although the term inclusive education is commonly associated with people w...
Groundbreaking in its international, interdisciplinary, and multi-professional approach to diversity and inclusion in higher education, this volume puts theory in conversation with practice, articulates problems, and suggests deep-structured strategies from multiple perspectives including performed art, education, dis/ability studies, institutional as well as government policy, health humanities, history, jurisprudence, psychology, race and ethnicity studies, and semiotic theory. The authors—originating from Austria, Germany, Luxembourg, Trinidad, Turkey, and the US— invite readers to join the conversation and sustain the work.
This book invites readers to challenge, corroborate, and add to the discourse on more inclusive pedagogical practice. Presenting theoretically and empirically informed research, it highlights potential considerations regarding the intersections of diversity, literacy, and learner difficulties. These three areas provide a stage where opposing paradigms often pose challenges for educators and create unnecessary barriers to providing the best education for all learners. These barriers might reveal how students are positioned through a deficit lens rather than one that recognizes individual differences and how these learner differences sometimes result in labels or put students at increased risk...
Norsk skole stiller for få krav, nordmenn er flinkere til å jabbe enn til å jobbe og hva skal vi egentlig med distriktene? Forfatter Sanna Sarromaa er kjent for sine friske aviskronikker og har vakt mediestorm med sine utspill om norske mødre, nynorsk og det norske likhetstyranniet. Med boka Norske tabuer ønsker hun å rokke ved konformiteten og kollektivismen som hun mener truer med å gjøre oss alle akkurat like – og like dumme – i dette landet. Hun utfordrer våre etablerte sannheter med sitt finsk-norske blikk på samfunnet, men gjør det med kjærlighet til norske menn i bunad, til dugnad og alt som er bra med verdens beste land.
This book provides deep insight into the social situation of students with different kinds of special needs in various European countries. Research findings concerning students’ attitudes towards peers with disabilities, and teachers’ feedback on students’ social behaviour, are also presented. Full inclusion of students with special educational needs in mainstream education requires equity in each student’s chances for academic and social-emotional development, and their participation in society. In the context of inclusive education, it is important to take students’ social participation into consideration. Are students with special educational needs (SEN) accepted by their peers?...
This book explores the ability of the Norwegian school system to support the achievement of formal competencies among children with physical disabilities, as well as its role in the informal dimensions of social participation and networking. Schools contribute to social inclusion in several ways: they are arenas for building official competencies, ensuring future access and success in the labour market. They are also sites for meeting other children, and developing friendships – friendships are not only important for strengthening cognitive development, but are vital to both good mental health and the building of various forms of social capital. By examining schools and the ways in which inclusion is incorporated early, this book aims to bridge the opportunity and employment gap that people with physical disabilities are more likely to face later in life.
Bestsellerauteur over het benutten van je verborgen potentieel. Voor lezers van Atomic habits van James Clear, Grip van Rick Pastoor en Outliers van Malcolm Gladwell We leven in een wereld die geobsedeerd is door talent. We bewonderen getalenteerde studenten, atleten die schijnbaar moeiteloos tot wereldprestaties komen en wonderkinderen in de muziek. Maar het bewonderen van mensen die beginnen met aangeboren voordelen leidt ertoe dat we niet zien wat we zelf zouden kunnen bereiken. We onderschatten hoe goed we zouden kunnen worden als we nieuwe vaardigheden leren. We kunnen allemaal beter worden in het verbeteren van onszelf. Gebaseerd op wetenschappelijke inzichten en aan de hand van inspir...
>>„Tato skvělá kniha rozbije vaše představy o tom, co je třeba ke zlepšení a úspěchu.“ — Serena Williams, vítězka 23 grandslamů ve dvouhře<< # O knize Čím je determinován úspěch? Talentem, každodenní dřinou, nebo snad rodinným zázemím? Adam Grant nabízí překvapivý pohled na to, jak můžeme sebe i ostatní pozvednout do nečekaných výšin. Růst totiž vyžaduje mnohem víc než pouhý trénink a nastavení mysli. Závisí především na sadě dovedností, které bohužel nevědomky přehlížíme. Na základě rozsáhlých výzkumů i skutečných příběhů Grant dokazuje, že náš pokrok nespočívá ani tak v tvrdé práci, jako v rozvinutí schopno...
