The history of inclusion in the United States / by Osgood, Robert L.(CARDINAL)280783;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 201-220) and index.Special education to 1930 : the rise of segregation -- 1930-1960 : special education comes of age -- 1960-1968 : challenging traditions in special education -- 1968-1975 : mainstreaming as the alternative to segregation -- 1977-1985 : refining the concept of integration -- 1985-1992 : integration, mainstreaming, and the regular education initiative -- Resistance to integration : giftedness and deafness -- 1992-2004 : the promise, limits, and irony of inclusion."In this comprehensive study, author Robert I. Osgood reveals how the idea of inclusion has evolved into broader realms of thought and practice. In its earliest manifestations, educators dwelled upon the classroom setting itself, wondering whether "disabled" children belonged there; if not, why not; and if so, how could this be accomplished? By the late 1960s, the scope of the discussion had shifted to assess the comprehensive structures of special education and its relationship with general education. The History of Inclusion seamlessly follows this progression into the present decade, in which current educational policy questions the need for any sort of separate "special education" in principle and structure."--Jacket.

How have those in the margins asserted their agency and negotiated their way within the larger society? What have been the relationships, not only between those more powerful and those less powerful, but also among those on the fringes of society? How have people sought to bridge the gap separating those in the margins and those in the mainstream?

Natural curiosity : educating and nurturing our children at home / by Carne, Lisa,1969-(CARDINAL)412599;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Nurture through nature -- Born free -- So why aren't they in school? -- What are we thinking? -- Slow down, switch off and seek adventure -- "Please, Sir, may we have some more natural history?" -- Goodbye school, hello world -- Mother Nature...and we should, in abundance -- Human nature...a different kettle of fish -- The dead zoo and other curiosities -- An environment to learn -- Time for a little inspiration -- The importance of play and friendships -- Parenting wisdom & social tact -- Time flies -- Character building."Natural Curiosity is a warm and contemplative insight into one family's experience of moving from mainstream schooling to home education, and learning through the lens of nature and natural history. Since becoming 'unschooled,' the two children have thrived on a diet of self-directed play and learning, amassing life skills, confidence, responsibility, and a vast array of knowledge along the way. This thoughtful book touches upon important themes in education and environmentalism, such as children's rights in schooling, the use and place of technology in learning, and the absence of the natural world in mainstream education. It gives a considered, balanced view of home schooling, interspersed with entertaining tales including constructing life-sized mammoth skeletons and living for a day as historically accurate Vikings. It offers an understanding of how this type of education works and what inspires the choice to pursue it"--Provided by publisher.
