At the Crossroads: Special Educational Needs and Teacher Education

This work examines recent and contemporary trends in training teachers in special educational needs. It views initial teacher education and INSET as part of a continuum of professional development, in which significant opportunities exist for innovation. It presents a series of chapters in support of this optimistic stance which provide practical examples of effective ways of working. The text should be of use to students, teachers, tutors, lecturers and school-based mentors in both general subjects and SEN.
