Paul Cooper & Barbara Jacobs 
From Inclusion to Engagement 
Helping Students Engage with Schooling through Policy and Practice

From Inclusion to Engagement challenges the ideologically
driven academic discourse that has come to dominate inclusive
education by presenting research-based knowledge about what
actually works.

* Presents an innovative approach rooted in a biopsychosocial
theoretical perspective – an approach that is still
relatively misunderstood within the educational sphere

* Offers insights based on an extensive review of contemporary
international research in the field

* Avoids the biases of ideology in favour of science-based social
and educational outcomes

* The first comprehensive account of evidence-based interventions
for students with Social, Emotional and Behavioural
Difficulties
