This book holds that education should be about producing knowledge for social action. Inclusivity goes beyond special education or special interests and is intrinsically tied to how schools respond to the needs and concerns of all students from diverse racial, ethnic, gender, sexual, class, religious, linguistic, and cultural backgrounds. All students are cheated when a dominant, rather than a diverse, learning environment is provided. By collapsing the artificial boundaries between schools, off-school sites, local communities and families, and by welcoming the spiritualities, languages, and indigenous knowledges that students bring with them, schools can be transformed from sources of oppression into sites for social transformation. This book is the product of five years of research and writing in the search for best practices in inclusive education. The authors address the philosophical and theoretical bases for inclusivity in this book.
