It also celebrates the positives that come with being an autistic teacher, such as relating to neurodivergent pupils and conveying passion and enthusiasm for a subject through intense interests, or demonstrating particular skills in school leadership. It examines how workplace set up can sometimes exclude autistic individuals and lead to skilled teachers and those in other education roles, including visiting professionals, leaving the profession, and sets out the accommodations that can prevent this from happening.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Rebecca Wood \u003c\/b\u003eis a former teacher and autism education practitioner who is a Senior Lecturer in Special Education at the University of East London and a visiting researcher at King's College London. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Laura Crane\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Professor at UCL Institute of Education, where she is Deputy Director of the Centre for Research in Autism and Education (CRAE). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfessor Francesca Happé \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience and Director at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King's College London. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlan Morrison\u003c\/b\u003e is an autistic consultant to the Autistic School Staff Project (ASSP) and educator. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Ruth Moyse \u003c\/b\u003eis autistic and trained initially as a primary school teacher, and now works as a Research Assistant for the ASSP.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 8.98 x 5.91 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 21, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42727568965695,"sku":"9781839971266","price":64.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/9e071466cd58307edbb009d21d547acc.webp?v=1765115325","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/learning-from-autistic-teachers-how-to-be-a-neurodiversity-inclusive-school-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
