Inclusion of Exceptional Learners in Canadian Schools is an outstanding introduction to inclusive education in Canada that serves as a research-based, practice focused resource on equitable and inclusive education for teacher educators and pre-service and in-service teachers. In keeping with Canada's commitment to inclusive education, this text examines positive ways of including children of all needs and abilities in the regular classroom.

Authors and educators, Jacqueline Specht and Nancy Hutchinson draw on their extensive experience educating students to help shape the skills and strategies future teachers need to create an inclusive classroom by individualizing learning for each student regardless of their exceptionality.

With the help and guidance of Sara Spence, a Nehiyaw (Cree) member of Peguis First Nation and a researcher at University of Calgary, this edition draws attention to significant recent developments in Indigenous education, especially in light of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Call to Action.
