Curricula for Diversity in Education by Tony Booth (9780415071840)

Description - Curricula for Diversity in Education by Tony Booth

This book is about educational practice and about some of the children and young people whose concerns must be considered in developing that practice. The opening section looks at collaborative learning strategies and across the curriculum at ways of including diversity in science, history, maths and poetry. The theory of learning within the national curriculum is made explicit and challenged. Then the issue of support teaching is examined in detail in the move away from withdrawal, remedial teaching and in comparison with support for bilingual pupils. There are examples of work with traveller children, deaf children and the microtechnology to support the learning of students with disabilites. The changing conceptions of special curricula for special groups of students are examined next and then the experience of children and young people under pressure; disaffected lassies' in a Scottish town, children who are bullied, young people affected by HIV and AIDS, youth trainees', children in care'. The final section takes a step back to look at issues and methods of basic research which describes and reflects on experience and educational practice.
