In Search of Education, Participation and Inclusion (eBook)

In Search of Education, Participation and Inclusion offers an original, coherent and inspiring approach to the delivery of education for all. Jonathan Rix, backed by extensive research, builds upon his wide-ranging professional and personal experiences to explore three conceptual innovations - models of certainty and uncertainty, the while of participation and communities of provision. Through these innovations, the reader examines the challenges faced by school systems in delivering inclusive and participatory experiences of learning. Topics explored include: theories of education, participation and inclusion the constraints on our education systems as they struggle to deliver certainty in a world of uncertainty how the challenges of our systems collaborate with inequality to produce marginalised experiences of participation the exclusionary nature of our communities of provision how we can understand and enhance moments of participation how embracing uncertainty can lead to more meaningful participation and towards more inclusive communities policies and practices that enhance the possibility of education for all This is a crucial read for any educator, educational leader or researcher with an interest in the development of innovative theory and practice in the fields of inclusive education and participatory practice.
