Inclusive Practice in the Primary School
A Guide for Teachers



January 2015 | 200 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd

Do you want to feel more confident when teaching children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)? Would you like to be a more inclusive teacher?

This book provides clear and flexible frameworks for effective inclusive teaching, and explains how to teach and plan for supporting any child’s learning, no matter what their needs are.

With case studies and activities the book:

  • explains and contextualizes current beliefs towards SEN
  • provides models for practice
  • encourages you to engage in thinking about SEN and inclusion
  • offers interactive reflection points throughout
  • links out to research with suggestions for further reading

Whether you’re training to be a primary school teacher or already in the classroom this book will make you feel confident to be the inclusive teacher you need to be.

A comprehensive guide to inclusion and will be used as a recommended text.

The book is well structured and written. It is useful as teacher students' handbook where they can have various approaches to inclusion and its needs as a summary. The learning objectives and summaries clarify the information as well as essential examples about cases in real life. The authors have cited the experts in inclusive education. Despite considering inclusion and diversity widely, the book focuses somewhat too much on inclusive education to help learners with special needs. However, I am going to recommend the book both for my teacher students and my colleagues in our primary teacher education as well.

This book provides an up to date view of inclusive practices in schools. it gives some historical background to inclusion as well as guidance for teachers and other professionals to best support children with SEN in mainstream schools. As a behaviour specialist I have found this especially useful when considering how in 'include' more difficult children.

An accessible guide for teachers. Whilst I would not underestimate the many external challenges, facing teachers, seeking to develop a truly inclusive classroom, I really appreciated the key message; start with the child. It reminded me how easily the individual can be lost: replaced by a label. I could definitely see the value of the spiral model, too. Ultimately, I felt the book was empowering as it emphasised the professional expertise of teachers.
