"The basic premise of the book is that there is a growing recognition of and respect for social justice, equal rights, acceptance, belonging and inclusion. This movement accepts that all persons should be equally valued, provided equal opportunities, viewed as unique individuals, and be exposed to and learn from and about people with diverse characteristics. These principles are becoming the guiding forces for integration in schools and society. Such a view of integration goes well beyond physical proximity to the need to develop and maintain inclusive schools and communities in which every person is welcomed, valued and expected to contribute as well as be supported by his or her fellow members.......This book provides generous insight into the process of moving forward to achieve both equity and excellence for all people..in educational and other community settings."
