Inclusive Education is the practice of including
all students in every aspect of learning. This practice is beneficial to all
students including, but not limited to: students with complex learning needs,
students of diverse ethnic backgrounds, students having trouble with linguistics,
students of diverse socioeconomic statuses, and students with varying abilities.
Students in special education programs, bilingual students, homeless students,
and mental health students are all included in this practice, too. Schools
utilizing the Inclusive Education Practice typically form a sense of community
for their students. Each student is urged to perform at his/her best and is
recognized for each success. Problem Solving teams are created to devise plans
that meet the need of each student. Parents and teachers are recognized as partners
in the success of the students, and are advised to communicate with each other
to form strong bonds. Students are only successful when they are made to feel
welcome in the community and are given responsibilities within the school
community. These responsibilities can include peer tutoring, peer mediators,
and cooperative learning. Through inclusion, students learn to listen and
respect others, and to communicate effectively.
I chose a Teacher’s Network Video that I found on
youtube. The reason I chose this video is because it outlines the exact same
thing the reading was talking about. It is about two teachers who co-teach a third
grade classroom. One of the teachers being is a special education teacher and
the other being the general elementary educator. They work together throughout
the year utilizing many different techniques and practices. The inclusion
practice is the main strategy they are using. This practice allows students to
recognize the different needs of each student. The classroom evolves into a
community in which all kids are welcome and can feel safe.
