FE Lecturer's Guide to Diversity and Inclusion

Description

This is an invaluable guide to making sense of the myriad of issues surrounding diversity and inclusion in FE. The authors, all experts in their field, provide readers with helpful hints and practical strategies for teaching a wide variety of students, including: - refugees - those with Special Educational Needs (in particular, dyslexia and ASD) - those for whom English is a second language - young learners (14-16) - those with behavioral difficulties. This should prove essential reading for lecturers everywhere.

"The book has considerable strength not only in its very readable style, and in the informative content of each of the specialist chapters, but in identifying the role of the teacher as an instigator of positve meaningful learning through knowledge of the student's needs and relevant individualised learning. It is a valuable and important addition to the literature for all FE staff" Good Autism Practice Journal, 2006
