| Abstract

:
|
"̀This book poses questions for all professionals in the Children's Workforce and Extended Provision, including those supporting special and behavioural needs such as teachers and mentors. Moving personal accounts by vulnerable children, young people and families allow unique insights into the challenges they face. Professor Rosemary Sage directly addresses support strategies for "low achievers" that are more than just effective but enable them to shine - and contribute to society their many special gifts.'--Jennifer Rogers, Associate Professor of Education, Liverpool Hope University, UK" "À welcome, down-to-earth account of understanding discourse, diversity and discrimination in the post-modern society. The narrative approach of the authors takes us through how life is experienced and developed in a multicultural global world and how to accommodate these different cultures and religions within the education system and society.'--Dr Ram V Seth, Consultant Psychiatrist, Director of Medical Education and Barrister at Law, UK" "This intelligent collection of case studies tells the stories of individuals coping with diversity in our schools today. The book focuses on real situations that challenge practitioners daily, including culture and religion and English as an additional language. Each contributed chapter leads to points for discussion - either with the class, with colleagues or for reflecting on your own practice - plus practical suggestions for improving classroom life for all." "This topical book is suitable for all practitioners working with children and families including teachers, teaching assistants and educational psychologists, as well as students and policy makers in the fields of health, social care and education"--BOOK JACKET
