Coaching of Children Oriented at Development & Inclusive Learning
With a different glance
Dynamic Assessment and Functioning of Children Oriented at Development &
Inclusive Learning
Jo Lebeer,
Despite international developments
towards inclusion, many children are excluded
and deprived of adequate education, because of an impairment and or functional
difficulties: there is not enough support, teachers lack knowledge how to
include different children, and assessment
reports are rarely suitable for inclusive teaching. Current functional assessment is too much
deficiency oriented and tends to ‘blame’ the child. If schools have to become ‘inclusive schools
for all’, as is laid down in the UN
Convention on the Rights of People with disabilities, then the assessment & coaching system needs a
thorough reform. This book wants to propose some alternatives: next to
finding out about a child’s functional difficulties, assessment methods also
need to look at a child’s learning
potential, responsiveness to teaching, and learning context (teachers,
parents). The objective of assessment should be to adequately plan and
monitor a challenging educational
intervention, allowing the child to be maximally
included-.
Models
of “good practice” have been collected within the context of the European
Comenius DAFFODIL project. The accompanying DVD
features sample videos of dynamic assessment, inclusive education, counselling
for inclusive education, as well as articles and presentations.
The
book wants to make school psychologists and other assessors of special needs,
aware of the need and possibility to look at children with a different glance:
in a more inclusion-oriented and development- oriented way.
