Teaching and Learning in Diverse and Inclusive Classrooms Summary

Teaching and Learning in Diverse and Inclusive Classrooms: Key issues for new teachers by Gill Richards (Nottingham Trent University, UK)

This accessible text focuses on diversity in education and the inclusion of all children and young people in all aspects of the school or college community. It provides an introduction to policy, theory and practical strategies in relation to diversity in education for practitioners, researchers and policy makers.

The fully revised and updated chapters discuss recent debates, research studies and current initiatives, particularly relating to teaching and learning, and conclude with key questions for student reflection.

Topics include:

  • Inclusive education
  • ethnic and cultural diversity
  • challenging behaviour
  • bullying
  • gender identity and sexuality
  • Gypsy, Roma and Traveller children
  • special educational needs
  • listening to parents
  • religious and cultural diversity
  • disability and human rights
  • children and young people who are refugees or seeking asylum

Reflecting on legislative duties, personal values and the importance of listening to the voice of all learners, particularly those who may experience disadvantage or discrimination in educational settings, Teaching and Learning in Diverse and Inclusive Classrooms is a key resource for initial teacher training programmes and professional development courses.

Teaching and Learning in Diverse and Inclusive Classrooms Reviews

Teachers can easily look at the chapters that relate to their situation and the extensive references will be valuable for those doing further research. The examples given will help understanding of pupils from a variety of backgrounds. Perfect for the staffroom library and a good trigger for a training session. - Sarah Brew, Parents in Touch


Moor Eric, Institute of Education

I strongly recommend the need for 'Key issues for new teachers' to provide valuable support to newly qualified teachers in order for them to participate effectively within the learning environment. Due to the rich nature of the new edition that incorporates legislations, current Codes of Practice, and the various Children and Education Acts, I approve the need of a new edition.

Although the book stresses the view that it has key issues for new teachers, it will benefit not only new teachers but old ones as well who would need to be informed on the various legislations and current Code of Practice. The book would also be valid for SENCOs and other members within special needs schools who intend to participate in teaching and learning in diverse and inclusive classrooms.

Sue Ralph, editor of JORSEN (Journal of Research in Special Education)

  2. Do you recommend that there is a need for a new edition?

Very much so. I think this will be a very useful text. The whole area of teaching and learning in diverse and inclusive classrooms in very important and I know of no other books which cover such a wide range of areas. I especially like the new chapter Religious and cultural diversity and inclusive practice.This is much needed and long overdue.
