Abstract
The keynote speaker at the EIS/University of Aberdeen conference on Inclusive Education, Professor Martyn Rouse of the University of Aberdeen sets out exclusively for the SEJ his views on inclusive practice in education. Here, he seeks to
locate recent developments in inclusive practice and additional support needs in a broader discussion about the need to educate all children. In particular he explores the ways in which some schools have been able to increase children’s participation in a relevant and meaningful educational process while others have found it more difficult. Central to this task is a focus on what teachers and other adults who work in schools do to foster learning, achievement and participation.
