Inspirational defies the comprehendible in both scientific and human endeavours Stephen Hawking (The theory of everything, Film 2014) The work of educational practitioners and researchers that strive to enhance student social, emotional and academic outcomes is truly inspirational. What matters most in the research to practice cycle? Strives to inspire, encourage and link scientific and human endeavours to reframe research to practise knowledge and inclusive education philosophy to promote the sustained use of research to enhance meaningful education for all students. In these welcome days of implementation science, research has to be real. There has to be a direct and rich connection between what is known and what translates from such data. In this volume, Grima-Farrell delivers exactly that balance: a triumph of deep analysis on a complex and synergistic area, namely, inclusive classrooms and schools. This is a must-read if you want to know what is happening in this challenging and compelling field and where we need to head if research is to inform daily practice.
