Double Entry Journal #1

What is Inclusive Education and what type of student does inclusion benefit?

Inclusive Education is allowing all students, even if there is an impairment or disability, the opportunity to learn with their fellow students inside a normal classroom setting. Inclusion benefits each child within the classroom. With both their classroom teacher and a special needs teacher, they have two people to help them learn. Also, the parents and community of students from inclusive schools help the students with their education.


What type of students does inclusive education serve?


Inclusive education serves students who are "diverse students with highly complex learning needs, including students with varied ethnic, linguistic, socioeconomic and ability components (Hocog Inos, Quigley)."



What are two characteristics of an inclusive school?

Two characteristics of an inclusive school are turning schools into places where the schools allow students with diverse abilities and needs to be involved and to coordinate and unify educational programs and services.


Name one strategy that helps students become more responsible and effective in the inclusive process.

One strategy that helps students become more responsible and effective in the inclusive process is co-teaching. Co-teaching allows the special needs teacher and general education teacher to combine their knowledge and they can offer all of the students more information.


Response


I chose to use this image because it shows children throughout the world together. Each child is formed into a puzzle piece that fits with the child next to them. I felt that this image showed that if the world wants inclusion to work inside the classroom, each child has to "fit" together to make it work.
