Book excerpt: Embed the principles and practices of inclusion into your students' learning experiences.Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement presents a clear, socially oriented approach to understanding and developing inclusive education. It prepares pre-service teachers for diverse classrooms and helps them develop strategies to engage students with varying backgrounds, needs and abilities.This new edition has been updated to reflect changes in legislation, policy, regulation, curriculum, research and practice. It takes a fresh look at what inclusion means and explores the disadvantages or limitations that prevent children fully participating in education. Retaining a strong focus on student engagement, it addresses areas that are proving challenging for teachers in engaging all students in inclusive learning environments: a greater number of children from immigrant families, the increasing impact of poverty in Australia, and the influence of technology on education.With extensive learning features that blend theoretical issues and context with practical skills, this book provides pre-service teachers and others with the knowledge and understanding to manage classroom challenges and develop inclusive learning environments.NEW TO THIS EDITIONUpdated research to align with legislation, policy and curriculum changes since the last edition.Three new chapters: Chapter 3: Linguistic and Cultural DiversityChapter 5: Gender, Inclusivity and EngagementChapter 17: Participation in What, and with Which Outcomes?
