A clear, comprehensive and up-to-date resource, essential for teachers at all educational levels who aim to create equitable and engaging learning environments. This volume introduces an innovative perspective based on educational pluralisation, placing emphasis on the diversity of cognitive styles, educational needs, and learning paths. Moving beyond an abstract concept of equality that often flattens individual differences, the authors promote a flexible, dynamic and truly inclusive approach.
The second part of the book focuses on practical planning: each phase of the inclusive planning cycle is explained clearly and supported with practical tools, real-life examples, working documents and models inspired by established frameworks such as Universal Design for Learning and differentiated instruction. Tables, diagrams and infographics help visualise effective strategies already tested in the classroom.
