Inclusion in the Early Years

Second Edition


April 2013 | 208 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
This insightful text shows how the attitudes of adults in early years settings can influence practice. The authors argue for a broad definition of inclusion, not limited to those with learning difficulties or impairment, but addressing factors affecting all members of the learning community. The book shows how the lives of practitioners, parents and children have been affected by inclusive and exclusionary practices.

This new and revised edition includes an increased focus on:

- inclusion as a political issue

- social class

- poverty

- children's rights

- gay and lesbian parents and staff

This text is essential for all early years students, practitioners and researchers who want to become familiar with current research into inclusion and to develop ways of drawing on such studies to inform and devleop their own inclusive practices.

A very useful text, thought provoking and challenging through the use of workshops. I believe this will prove an extremely useful resource to students over many of the units they will encounter within the Early Education and Childcare courses.

This book clearly describes and identifies, making it a book that is an easy but informative read. The scenarios make it more real for the students and helps to prepare them for when they go into placements.

Inclusion could be seen as something not relevant to early years, how wrong that would be!
