Visions and decisions
From as early as a prenatal or postnatal diagnosis, parents of a child with Down syndrome begin considering potential educational futures. It is not as simple as pursuing what a child is legally entitled to or what the research evidence supports; there are a range of internal and external properties that influence parents’ hopes, goals, and decisions. This constructivist grounded theory research involved 32 parents (from 28 families) across four …
Closing special schools
Many countries grapple with the tension between commitment to inclusive education reform and the closure of special schools. This tension is particularly problematic for countries, like Australia, that have ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The CRPD is clear that closing special schools is pivotal to protecting the rights of students with disability to an inclusive education. Some provinces in Canada are c…
Societal, systemic, school and family drivers for and barriers to inclusive education
Inclusive education is central to achieving high-quality education for all students and is a recognised commitment of the Australian government under international human rights law.

What will this mean for Australia’s special schools, particularly given their significant rise in enrolments over the past decade? What will it mean for the education of Australian stud…
Attributes of Rigorous Grounded Theory Research and Reporting
There is concern within education research about the rigor of research conducted and published. Grounded theory is a qualitative research methodology about which there appears to be many misconceptions. To respond to these concerns, this article proposes six methodological attributes that rigorous grounded theory research shares: developing theory, generating concepts from data not existing theory, using the constant comparative method, collectin…
The private problem with public service
Staffing rural and remote schools is an important policy issue for the public good. This paper examines the private issues it also poses for teachers with families working in these communities, as they seek to reconcile careers with educational choices for children. The paper first considers historical responses to staffing rural and remote schools in Australia, and the emergence of neoliberal policy encouraging marketisation of the education sec…
