Supporting Diverse Students in Asian Inclusive Classrooms
This edited book is uniquely set in the context of Chinese societies. It deals with the issues of inclusive education in a Chinese context and examines inclusion from the experience of Hong Kong schools. Like other countries, in Hong Kong, inclusive education has been promoted through Integrated Education (IE) and the Whole-School Approach (WSA). Recently, the government has introduced the induction of Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) in each Hong Kong school to help diverse students, especially students with special educational needs (SEN) and to develop inclusive teaching and learning practices. This book is one of the first to examine the influence of contextual and Chinese cultural factors in the field of inclusive education, in regard to how schools support students with diverse learning needs and SEN. It also offers an account of context-specific measures towards promoting inclusive education. This book will help scholars and school practitioners in Asia in particular and in the West, in general, develop a comprehensive understanding of context-specific inclusive practices in education for students with diverse learning needs.
Advancing inclusive education for students with special educational needs: Rethinking policy and practice
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Salamanca Declaration (UNESCO, 1994) which began the global movement towards inclusive education for students with special educational needs (SEN). Inclusive education for this student group represents a paradigm shift in providing quality education for all students. Around the globe, this universal ideal has progressed a strengths-based approach to student learning and encouraged mixed-ability classrooms. Notwithstanding this milestone, recent studies have highlighted persistent disparities in the formulation and implementation of inclusion policies, inadequacies in teacher preparation, and imbalances in access to resources. Factors such as these continue to pose challenges in achieving truly inclusive education for students with SEN. Given this context, it is both timely and essential to undertake a critical reassessment of the inclusive education agenda for this student group. While policy frameworks may emphasize inclusion, their real-world translation often falls short, leading to gaps between intention and realization. Moreover, the limited enactment of evidence-based practices at school and classroom levels continue to impede student engagement and learning. Furthermore, there is a need to consider how inclusive education interfaces with the broader concepts of diversity, equity, and individualized learning. The goal of this Research Topic is to explore these complex issues, identify underlying barriers, and promote strategies that can genuinely move inclusive education forward for students with SEN.
