Inclusive and Adaptive Teaching: Meeting the Challenge of Diversity in the Classroom
From bestselling author Peter Westwood, this new edition of Inclusive and Adaptive Teaching provides a considered approach to meeting the ongoing challenge of inclusive teaching in the classroom and offers a range of strategies for good practice.
This comprehensive resource promotes a fully inclusive approach to teaching and outlines the necessary adaptations and accommodations that are often required in order to address the needs of the very diverse population of students now to be found in most classrooms. Drawing on the ever-evolving practices of inclusive education and research into learning theories, Westwood describes useful, evidence-based strategies for adapting curriculum content, learning activities, assessment and resource materials.
Fully updated to reflect cutting-edge international research and teaching practices, this new edition gives additional focus to the role of digital technology, differentiation, the teaching of STEM subjects and support for inclusivity in higher education.
Accessible chapters in this new edition present:
principles, aims and issues in providing inclusive schooling;
sound pedagogical practices for adapting curriculum content;
evidence-based methods for teaching mixed-ability classes;
ideas for designing and modifying teaching materials;
ways of implementing inclusive assessment of learning.
Each chapter contains an up-to-date list of online and print resources easily available to teachers who wish to pursue topics in greater depth. This is an invaluable resource for both practising and trainee teachers and teaching assistants, as well as school principals, school counsellors and educational psychologists.

I first encountered chapters from this book in one of my education classes. Those selected readings were enough to convince me that this book should be a part of my education library.
I've not regretted a single page of this useful book. Having taken my start in education working in the Special Education department under a profoundly talented director, this book has expanded upon and supported everything I learned there.
If you're interested in sheltered instruction, in accommodations and modifications for your classroom or educational setting, this book is a must have resource.
Furthermore, let me state that these techniques and strategies do not simply find their best application in the IEP/ 504 classroom. These are strategies and modes which belong in every classroom.
