About this book
This new edition of Inclusive and Adaptive Teaching from bestselling author Peter Westwood continues to provide a range of practical strategies for advancing the learning and development of all students in inclusive classrooms.
Drawing on the most recent international research into teaching methods, Westwood presents a range of evidence-based strategies for adapting curriculum content, modifying learning activities and resources, and for making any necessary accommodations during assessment. Revised topics in this third edition include a focus on the implications of diversity and exceptionality, the progress made to date in providing inclusive schooling, a presentation of evidence-based methods for teaching mixed-ability classes and ideas for adapting the curriculum and designing teaching materials. New topics in this revised edition include:
• how to support students' self-determination and autonomy;
• LGBTQ+ issues for inclusive schools;
• the UK 'engagement model' for assessing very low-functioning children;
• the concept and purposes of a 'flipped classroom';
• engaging with a Response-to-Intervention Model;
• how to support students in vocational colleges and universities.
Each chapter contains an up-to-date list of online and print resources available to teachers who wish to pursue topics in greater depth.
This text is an invaluable resource for both practicing and trainee teachers and teaching assistants, as well as school principals, school counsellors and educational psychologists.
