Title: | From Policy to Practice: Resourcing Inclusion in a Queensland Primary School | Contributor(s): | Anderson, Joanne (author); Boyle, Christopher (author) | Publication Date: | 2011 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/16152 | Abstract: | Globally, an increasing number of students with disabilities are being included in mainstream schools, a trend that was exemplified after the release of the 1994 Salamanca Statement in which inclusive education was described as being a right for all. This move towards inclusive practices has been reflected in Australian schools across all educational jurisdictions (Forlin & Bamford, 2005). The wider study (Anderson, 2010), of which the current study presents one aspect, investigated the inclusive practices of a Queensland government primary school through the lens of the systems inclusion policy. A single case study approach was employed to better understand the successes and difficulties experienced by the school in meeting expectation for inclusion, a practice identified in current literature as a challenging and complex one (Graham & Slee, 2008; Slee, 2008). The current study focuses on one facet of the wider study, that being resourcing and inclusion. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | AASE 2011 Annual Conference, Brisbane, Australia, 28th - 30th September, 2011 | Source of Publication: | Australian Association of Special Education Annual Conference Papers, p. 1-22 | Publisher: | Australian Association of Special Education Inc | Place of Publication: | online | Field of Research (FOR): | 130304 Educational Administration, Management and Leadership 130313 Teacher Education and Professional Development of Educators 130312 Special Education and Disability |
