They acknowledge the important influences of social, cultural, linguistic, academic, behavioural, gender and sexuality differences on the lives of students and raise important questions about how this diversity is respected in educational policy and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaken as a whole the essays are no less than a critical assessment of the theory, practices and policies of inclusive education and the promise of new assessment and empirical approaches, including \"best practice\", to affect positive change in the education of exceptional children. Parents, politicians and educators at all levels will find a wealth of ideas in the essays and an informed advocacy that cannot be ignored. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne McKeough\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1550419773\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781550419771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fitzhenry \u0026amp; Whiteside\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.04w x 0.89d","brand":"Anne McKeough","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448712343807,"sku":"9781550419771","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fbcc024b-e4bb-4807-9716-595d94616207.jpg?v=1777260155","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-challenges-of-student-diversity-anne-mckeough-9781550419771","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
