Narratives of Inclusive Teaching

The purpose of this book is to understand the ways that teachers’ engagement with schooling contexts produces forms of inclusive practice that are varied, unpredictable and shifting. Our purpose is not to critique these teachers, nor to hold them up somehow as exemplary inclusive educators.
