English 240 pages 1 edition

Change begins when you show up-even for one child, through one meaningful conversation. A thirteen-year-old boy from a village overcomes social bullying in the big city and becomes the first in his family to pass Class 10. A kindergartener with cerebral palsy joins a new school with no road map to support her, but blossoms in her new environment and sets the system on the path of transformation. These real-life stories of students who have journeyed from exclusion to inclusion against all odds reveal one simple truth: Only when individuals are seen, heard and valued do they achieve their true potential. Written with deep insight by award-winning educator Revathi Srinivasan, Creating Classrooms Where Every Child Belongs is about radical inclusion. Rooted in the powerful belief that belonging is the foundation of becoming, it reimagines leadership, learning and human connection through the eyes of the most overlooked thought leaders of all-children, who, with their unfiltered honesty and instinctive curiosity, challenge norms, expose biases and spark breakthroughs. Timely and thought-provoking, this book invites teachers, parents and changemakers to re-evaluate how cohesive, empathetic and innovative spaces can be created, starting in classrooms and radiating out into the world. “
