"This is a book for all teachers and school leaders. Teachers often feel overwhelmed by rising numbers of pupils with significant need in every classroom. Cosgrove recognises the pressures faced by teachers and offers practical ideas to trial as well as encouraging self-reflection for teachers. Strategies are presented in variety of ways to suit the busy lifestyles of every teacher. Absolutely a must-read to include all our children in the classroom and school community!"

"This book is an essential addition to the library of anyone serious about putting education theory into practice. Teachers need direct guidance on how to apply current thinking in the classroom context without having to first spend time deciphering unnecessarily complicated jargon. A very welcome and timely publication."

"Inclusive Teaching in a Nutshell is full of ideas and practical suggestions for all teachers to help include all learners in their classrooms. The ideas range from quick and easy adaptions to more sustained suggestions for change, presented in different ways. The author has drawn on many years of working with both learners who have struggled in the classroom and teachers who want to make their teaching more inclusive to develop this key resource. The book is both accessible and practical and this combination makes this a book that will benefit all teachers, and more importantly, their students."

Jenni Ingram and Jason Todd, Department of Education, University of Oxford.

"With this excellent guide, new and experienced teachers alike can develop their approach to inclusive teaching. The practical and accessible format is perfect for busy teachers and provides a pathway from the basics of inclusive teaching through to the more sophisticated strategies. Rachel Cosgrove's depth of expertise in relation to inclusive teaching clearly shines through with her first-hand experience of what works eloquently woven through the various special educational needs that learners may have."
