Description
Most classrooms contain children from a variety of backgrounds, where home culture, religious beliefs and the family’s economic situation all impact on achievement. This needs to be recognized by teachers in order to establish fair, respectful, trusting and constructive relationships with children and their families, which will allow every child to reach their full potential. Dealing with some of the less widely addressed aspects of diversity and inclusion, this book looks at real issues that affect teachers in the classroom, and examines a variety of influences affecting child development. It provides you with the theoretical and practical information you need to ensure you understand the complex factors which affect the children in your care, and it encourages good, thoughtful teaching.
