Series Introduction
Edited by Janka Goldan, Jennifer Lambrecht and Tim Loreman
The adoption internationally of inclusive practice as the most equitable and all-encompassing approach to education and its relation to compliance with various international declarations and conventions underpins the importance of this series for people working at all levels of education and schooling in both developed and less developed countries. There is little doubt that inclusive education is complex and diverse and that there are enormous disparities in understanding and application at both inter- and intra-country levels. A broad perspective on inclusive education throughout this series is taken, encompassing a wide range of contemporary viewpoints, ideas and research for enabling the development of more inclusive schools, education systems and communities.
Volumes in this series on International Perspectives on Inclusive Education contribute to the academic and professional discourse by providing a collection of philosophies and practices that can be reviewed considering local contextual and cultural situations in order to assist governments, educators, peripatetic staff and other professionals to provide the best education for all children. Each volume in the series focusses on a key aspect of inclusive education and provides critical chapters by contributing leaders in the field who discuss theoretical positions, quality research and impacts on school and classroom practice. Different volumes address issues relating to the diversity of student need within heterogeneous classrooms and the preparation of teachers and other staff to work in inclusive schools. Systemic changes and practice in schools encompass a wide perspective of learners to provide ideas on reframing education to ensure that it is inclusive of all. Evidence-based research practices underpin a plethora of suggestions for decision-makers and practitioners, incorporating current ways of thinking about and implementing inclusive education.
While many barriers have been identified that may potentially constrain the implementation of effective inclusive practices, this series aims to identify such key concerns and offers practical and best practice approaches to overcoming them. Adopting a thematic approach for each volume, readers will be able to quickly locate a collection of research and practice related to a topic of interest. By transforming schools into inclusive communities of practice, all children can have the opportunity to access and participate in quality and equitable education to enable them to obtain the skills to become contributory global citizens. This series, therefore, is highly recommended to support education decision-makers, practitioners, researchers and academics, who have a professional interest in the inclusion of children and youth who are marginalizing in inclusive schools and classrooms.
Volume 15 in the International Perspectives on Inclusive Education series adds to the collection by addressing a very demanding aspect of how to resource inclusive education to ensure it is equitable, fair, manageable and effective. All governments and education departments are faced with issues surrounding resourcing inclusive education, usually within a defined budget and fiscal constraints. This is heightened further for financial administrators, during transition periods where governments are moving from a segregated to a more inclusive education system. By critiquing an extensive range of optional funding models, funding formulas and human resourcing approaches, this book offers a comprehensive review of how appropriate resourcing, within a country's given restraints and specific cultural and contextual issues, can support more effective inclusive education.
Presented in two sections, the authors firstly address the evolving challenges associated with funding inclusive education by considering evidence from a range of countries which have endeavoured to respond to these in diverse and positive ways. The issues of developing effective policy and of establishing accountability mechanisms that ensure equitable distribution of funding across all schools are treated empathetically, citing relevant and useful research and evidence. The latter half of the book provides a life-long learning perspective on how to improve inclusion by focussing on enhanced human resourcing through better teacher education and professional learning. The importance of appropriate and effective teacher education for inclusion has been identified in all systems. Key international documents continue to highlight that inclusive education requires teachers who are appropriately trained, motivated, enjoy teaching and who are backed by well-managed and resourced education systems. Any inclusive educational reform model must be focussed on these areas. Both sections of the book are, therefore, critical, as the dynamic interaction between the two is essential to ensuring effective and sustainable implementation of quality inclusive education.
A tangible strength of this volume is that it explicitly contemplates resourcing inclusive education through the application of realistic funding approaches and improved professional learning. Of importance, though, is that while focussing on dollar expenditure, it also considers how better resourcing will help students to develop twenty-first century skills of academic self-concept, social inclusion and general well-being. It also highlights the strong link between effective funding management and teachers' self-efficacy and attitudes towards becoming effective and positive inclusive practitioners.
Volume 15 is a critical book for all stakeholders concerned with how to resource inclusive education, to provide quality education for all learners. This is addressed effectually through reviewing how resourcing can be managed to ensure equitable access regardless of geographical region or students' needs. This book provides excellent, current and practical approaches while reviewing global trends that will appeal to support school staff, administrators, economists, district coordinators, other stakeholders and school board personnel to make best possible decisions regarding funding regimes. This volume will also appeal to university academics, students and researchers who are tasked with investigating best practice ways of resourcing inclusive schools. Within the book, selected chapters enable the reader to choose a specific area of resource interest and to explore options derived from research and best practice evidence-based ideas presented by leading international experts in the field. Volume 15 will be an important international resource providing immediate access to a wide range of germane approaches across many disciplines to enable good decisions to be made to better resource inclusive education. I highly recommend and endorse it as an excellent addition to the International Perspectives on Inclusive Education series.
