Product Description:
In 1988, we published our first issue of Impact focusing on what was then referred to as "integrated education" -- students with and without disabilities learning together. Three years later, we published a second issue with a similar focus, although the language had changed from "integrated" to "inclusive" education. We are now publishing this third feature issue, titled "Inclusion and School Restructuring" to reflect an expanded focus for inclusive schooling. As we reflect on the past eight years, the changes seem extraordinary. Today, inclusion involves but has moved beyond the domain of special education. As individuals affiliated with the historically separate worlds of general and special education begin to join together in more substantial ways, they are learning about the many shared challenges involved in promoting the capacities of all children and youth. They are also learning that by sharing resources -- people, commitment, money, and experiences -- they can co-create more effective educational opportunities for more students. We hope that this Impact will both affirm and inform such collaborative efforts in creating schools that are inclusive and successful, in which excellence and equity are the dominant cultural norms.
