Description: Inside the Inclusive Childhood Classroom: The Power of the Normal offers a critique of current practices and alternative view of inclusion. The rich data created inside three classrooms will challenge those who work in the field as the children and their performances previously overlooked are foreground. Although at times confronting it is ultimately invaluable reading for classroom teachers students academics and researchers as well as anyone who desires to deepen their understanding of inclusive processes. The inclusion of children with diagnosed special needs in mainstream early childhood classrooms is a policy and practice that has gained universal support in recent decades. Exploring ways to include the diagnosed child has been of interest to inclusive research. Adopting a poststructural perspective this book interrupts taken for granted assumptions about inclusive processes in the classroom. Attention is drawn to the role played by the undiagnosed children those positioned as already included. Researching among children this ethnography interrogates the production of the classroom normal . As the children negotiate difference the operations of the normal are made visible in their words and actions. In their encounters with the diagnosed Other they take up practices of tolerance and silence effecting fear separation and a desire to cure. These performances echo practices presumed abandoned from centuries past. As a way forward this book urges a rethink of practice - as - usual as these effects are problematic for inclusion and not sustainable. A greater scrutiny of the normal is needed as the power it exercises impacts on all children and how they become subjects in the classroom.
