O knihe

A volume in International Advances in Education:
Global Initiatives for Equity and Social Justice
Series Editors: Elinor L. Brown, University of Kentucky, Rhonda G. Craven,
Australian Catholic University, and George F. McLean, The Council for Research in Values and Philosophy
As a social justice endeavor, one of the goals of inclusive education is to bolster the education of all students by promoting equal opportunities for all, and investing
sufficient support, curriculum and pedagogy that cultivates high self-concepts, emphasizes students' strengths rather than weaknesses, and assists students to reach their
optimal potential to make a contribution to society. Dedicated to the identification of international strategies to achieve this goal, Inclusive Education for Students with
Intellectual Disabilities presents examples of theory, research, policy, and practice that will advance our understanding of how best to educate and more generally
structure educational environments to promote social justice and equity. Importantly, this discussion transcends research methodology, context, and geographical
locations and may lead to far-reaching applications. As such, the focus is placed on research-derived educational and psycho-educative practices that seed success for
students with intellectual disabilities in inclusive educational settings and the volume showcases new directions in theory, research, and practice that may inform the
education and psychosocial development of students with intellectual disabilities globally.
The chapter contributors in this volume consist of 31 scholars from ten different countries, and they come from a great variety of research areas (i.e., teacher education,
educational psychology, special education and disability policy, special needs and inclusive education, health sciences). This volume, with a series of subsections, offers
insights and useful strategies to promote meaningful advances for students with intellectual disabilities globally.
