About This Book
This book utilises a first-of-its kind framework to invite teachers on a personal learning journey in which they can deconstruct their deep down beliefs and positions about disability in a very sensitive and caring, yet powerful, manner. The framework is powerful in encouraging teachers to include students with disabilities in regular classrooms. In this revised edition, the authors go one step beyond their first edition by including strategies based on the literature and their own research and by including testimonial learning journeys of both pre-service and in-service teachers.

In this workbook-style publication, experienced teachers of pedagogy invite teachers to explore the learning experience of pupils with disabilities. A summary history of disablement education in Singapore introduces discussion of the present policy of incorporating pupils with disabilities into mainstream classes. Many perspectives and insights from experienced teachers are related to classroom situations. The needs of novice teachers and those who have difficulty with the new approaches are encouraged to engage each pupil with a disability on his individual educational journey. With references and index.
