Takes the view that marginalization, exclusion and underachievement take many forms and affect many different kinds of child. This book delineates a definition of inclusion to meet the needs of those children who are marginalized by the school system, and asks how this situation can be remedied.

This book compares and contrasts special needs approaches with school effectiveness strategies and sets out theories about inclusive schooling that arise out of a detailed scrutiny of practice.

Based on the field-tested approach of the Cambridge "Improving the Quality of Education For All" project (IQEA), this handbook includes a wide range of staff development activities, readings and photocopiable proformas to enable schools to implement their own improvement projects.
