Education exists within a complex and changing world and many learners face
a variety of risk factors – conditions, circumstances, situations, or events – that
threaten to negatively impact upon their development and achievement. These
factors include disability, race, gender, poverty, violence, and natural disasters. It is
adversities such as these that this book addresses – what they are, how they impact
on learners, and how to successfully address them. Uniquely, Overcoming Adversity
in Education takes an international approach, with structured chapters by experts
from around the world, to inform successful local practices. The book explains
why understanding adversity in education is so important, and explores, through
practical case studies, ways in which individuals, institutions, and cultures/societies
can help create positive outcomes for learners. The reader will find, and be able
to draw upon, exemplars of practice that illustrate the principles of creating and
implementing successful proactive approaches, interventions, and coping strategies.
