Struggles for Equity in Education: The selected works of Mel Ainscow

Spanning Professor Ainscows accomplished 30 year international career in education, the texts in this book trace his efforts to find ways of fostering more equitable forms of education. This has involved a series of struggles as he has experimented with different approaches - in a variety of contexts - to find new possibilities for responding to learner diversity. The readings have been chosen to illustrate the changes that have occurred in Professor Ainscows thinking and practices and a short introduction is provided for each chapter that is intended to help readers to understand the significance of what is presented and how this relates to other chapters in the book.
