A unique feature of Learning Diversity in the Chinese Classroom is its Chinese context for meeting the educational requirements of children with special needs. At a time when many of the currently available texts in the area have a general perspective, Asian teachers and students have long felt the need for a text that specifically recognizes the local context. This book notes that international trends, including those in many Southeast Asian countries are moving toward inclusive education and special needs. The book is categorized into three major sections, namely ‘The Chinese Classroom’, ‘Catering for Learning Diversity’ and ‘Whole-School Approaches to Learning Diversity’. The individual chapters put under the aforesaid sections revolve around the themes about giftedness, counselling, behavioural management and the like.
