For some time now, we have been using the word "inclusion" to talk about our relationship with diversity, and those views are reflected in our behaviours and decisions regarding how individuals with diverse needs are positioned within our communities. As a result, the word has become an educational buzzword, and over time we can see the evolution of its meaning. Dianne believes strongly that inclusion is not a buzzword, but rather an important CALL to ACTION. Inclusion: Not just an Educational Buzzword weaves Dianne's personal journey and stories along with her experience as an educator and influences from researchers to form this necessary and important call to action. If we truly want to live and work in a community that believes relationship and connection are priorities, then we must pay attention to the important lessons of being, knowing and doing within our homes, classrooms and communities. The being piece is the most difficult to understand, and Dianne shows us how to get to being. Reading this book will assist you in seeing the important personal and systemic transformational changes that are necessary to not only show up as our best selves, but to live and work as compassionate partners with our family, neighbours, colleagues and students. The time is now, and this call is for you.
