    One of the key challenges facing schools today is that of reducing marginalisation amongst pupils in educational contexts. This ... book provides guidance and illustrative examples of the ways in which primary and secondary schools can include all of their students in the academic and social experiences they provide. Developed around a framework that practitioners and researchers can use in order to understand and address marginalisation, the author's approach takes account of the views of children and young people throughout. This framework consists of a unique four-step process: Step 1: Opening doors: enabling voices to emerge; Step 2: Looking closely: bringing concerns to the surface; Step 3: Making sense of the evidence: sharing data with learners; Step 4: Dealing with marginalisation: encouraging inclusive thinking and practice. ...
