Summary
"Pupils, staff and parents agree that inclusion is working at Cleves mainstream primary school. Teachers concerned about effectively accommodating children with moderate, severe or profound and multiple learning difficulties within their mainstream class will therefore draw inspiration from this handbook. In their own words, the staff and pupils describe the inclusive principles and everyday practices in their school. Their methods include team teaching in open-plan areas and active differential learning for all ability levels. They show that by sharing a joint responsibility to learning, inclusive teaching can benefit all pupils, regardless of their ability."--BOOK JACKET
