Inclusive Teaching Guide

Inclusive Teaching Guide - "I believe that teaching special needs students requires the same strategies and practices as teaching general education students. In other words, good teaching practices for some students will be good practices for special needs students as well. Inclusion into the general education classroom holds so many benefits for special needs students (as well as others involved in inclusion) that I donÕt believe schools should deny anyone the benefits. All students have a right to expect the best possible learning environment; special needs students are no exception.

There is much fear in change; schools find it difficult to begin the process of including special needs students into general education classrooms. This fear can be overcome with education, resources, support, and the belief that inclusion is morally and socially right. As the children we teach in inclusive classrooms become adults and have their own children, inclusion will be expected and accepted.  children taught in an inclusive classroom will be better prepared to interact with people with many differences in the real world."
