Inhaltsangabe:
The Blind Advantage provides insight into the challenges, possibilities, and practicalities of including students with disabilities&;and into the mind and heart of an inspired and determined leader.
&;You should get out of education.&;
That was the advice first-year teacher Bill Henderson received when he discovered he was gradually losing his vision. Instead, Henderson persevered and became principal of the Patrick O&;Hearn Elementary School in Boston, an ethnically and economically diverse school where about a third of the students have mild, moderate, or significant disabilities.
In The Blind Advantage, Henderson describes how the journey into blindness helped him develop key qualities&;determination, vision, sensitivity, organization, collaboration, and humor&;that made him a more effective principal. At the same time, he shows how the inclusionary policies and practices at the O&;Hearn School (now renamed the William W. Henderson Inclusion Elementary School) elicited and developed these qualities in others.
