Inclusion In Classrooms

By

Natasha Knights

What is Inclusion

• Inclusion means that all students regardless of their disabilities should be included in a regular classroom.

• Inclusion gives all students the same educational opportunities.

• All special education students should be included in a regular classroom. This also includes students that are English Language Learners.

• These students should be included in a regular classrooms with certain accommodations , such as; extra time, testing in small groups, one-on-one sessions, reading aloud to a student and scribing a student’s response.

Advantages

• Some advantages of including students in regular students are;

• The students will experience a more complex environment that will help them develop to the best of their ability.

• It will increase their social skills and self-esteem through interacting with a developing peers.

Advantages

• Inclusion will help students to get a better person within the community if they practice in a normal setting.

• Students also have a better chance of mastering a specific skill on a normal level.

• Students will have a better support system because they will have modifications.

Disadvantage

• Some disadvantages of inclusion is the students with disability in a regular classroom setting might have a difficult time keeping up with the pace.

• The work load might be too condensed for students in the special education department.

Disadvantage

• Regular Education students might be at a disadvantage because the class might not be as challenging enough.

• Teachers might be spending too much time on one subject area and as a result of that the regular education students might get bored.

Conclusion

• I think students should be included in a regular classroom regardless of their disability, once they have extra support to help them work to the best of their ability.

• Special students can grow mentally if the expectations are high.

• Schools should have inclusion in their classrooms
