TEACHER EDUCATION FOR THE CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS...

The book takes as its premise the argument that diverse learner groups are a fact of
demographic change that should be considered foundational in the preparation of teachers rather
than be problematized as a challenge. It promotes the idea of teacher education for inclusive
education based on a consideration of what it means to educate all children together. Divided
into four parts  the book considers key issues for teacher education  teacher agency  teacher
education for diversity  and a research agenda for the future.In today's world  the demographic
profile of students in schools is more complex than ever before  and the increasing cultural 
linguistic and developmental diversity of today's classrooms  along with the pressure to
achieve high academic standards for everybody has significant implications for how classroom
teachers should be prepared to meet these demands. This book advances a new understanding of
inclusive education that addresses the limitations inherent in current approaches that
problematize differences between learner groups by promoting a view of difference as an aspect
of human individuality. It considers the implications of the research evidence underpinning
teacher education for diversity and makes suggestions for future research in the field.
