'This is the book I wish I had written, synthesizing an enormous literature focused on special needs students.
It is robust, it is readable, and it is your righthand resource, A stunner of a book, '
Professor John Hattie, University of Melbourne, author of Visible Learning Den här boken skulle jag vilja ge två olika betyg: ena för faktainnehåll men ena för layout/tilltal/upplägg.
Under alla snuttifierade punktlistor, underrubriker, bockar och hemsnickrade ikoner döljer sig gedigen kunskap och information som skulle kunna vara till stor gagn för både lärare, föräldrar och studenter om den levererats i löpande text och fått tid och plats att utvecklas.
Inkludering i skolan känns mest som ett smörgåsbord med smakprov i DIYformat, så jag undrar vem som är den avsedda målgruppen Vi lärare är vana vid att plöja både facklitteratur och torra styrdokument och behöver inte hejarop i form av småbilder och avsnitt om fyra rader.
Analysen av den finska skolan hade gott och väl
kunnat utgöra stoff för en hel bok om varje punkt fått utrymme för utveckling.
Levererad i en akademisk kostym hade den här texten fått ett betydligt högre betyg! Handig en overzichtelijk boek met interventies die effectief blijken te zijn in het speciaal onderwijs.
Je kunt het boek goed in delen lezen, Dr David Mitchell is an Adjunct Professor at the College of Education, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, .
