Description
The project was a collaboration between The Open University, Leeds Metropolitan University and University of Southampton, working with the Teacher Training Agency and the EPPI-Centre. It comprised a series of three linked systematic literature reviews of pedagogical approaches for including pupils with special educational needs in mainstream classrooms. The in-depth focus for the first review was peer-group interactive approaches where there was evidence to show positive outcomes. The second review focused in detail on the interactions of teachers, support staff and pupils within pedagogical approaches that include pupils in mainstream classrooms and the third review addressed subject-specific inclusive pedagogy.
