What Really Works in Special and Inclusive Education

Reviews / Votes

Praise for the previous edition:

This is the book I wish I had written, synthesizing an enormous literature focused on special needs students. It is robust, it is readable, and it is your right-hand resource. A stunner of a book.

Professor John Hattie, University of Melbourne, author of Visible Learning

The current edition of What Really Works achieved resounding success worldwide (see the many translations in other languages), being the only text currently available that systematically, thoroughly, and extensively reviews effective educational strategies for special and inclusive education. In my opinion, its major strength can be traced in the field of teachers training (also support teachers and other figures of support for students with disabilities and/or SEN), both initial and in-service. Concerning this aspect, the book is really unique, as it can "speak" effectively to teachers.

Praise for the third edition:

This is a well-structured and readable book that provides the reader with excellent summaries of an extensive range of approaches that 'really work' for inclusion. It combines very thorough academic research with best professional practice and is essential reading, particularly for leadership teams.
