I believe inclusion means a student will be with their peers as much as possible. This not only gives the student a sense of belonging, but also the class views the student as a member of their class rather than the "extra" person.
Letting a student know they belong with there classmates is a great thing. Pulling a student out of the class room, pulling them from an activity the whole class is doing or, just maybe missing out on a lesson can make them fell left out, or like you said an "extra" person.
i agree, i really like your definition of inclusion. by being with their classmates and peers as much as possible, they don't feel like a special education student
Hello and welcome everyone! As a former para professional and classroom teacher, I found this book to be very beneficial and user friendly. The CD at the back has all of the forms for the later activities ready to print off. Inclusion to me is more academic. Being included in the class curriculum through differentiation and modifications so that all students can participate to some degree is my ideal of inclusive practices. Social inclusion is also important. The book talks about collaboration between general ed. and special education students as being the whole of the learning community. I hope each and every one of your feel as if you belong to this para professional book blog and am excited to hear about everyone's thoughts and experiences as special education para professionals.
I like that you brought to light all inclusion, using modifications and differentiation, yet still being able to participate in the same activity. i work with a student where this is what i do in the classroom, the student does not get pulled from the class for said activities, just has modifications and is doing the same as their peers, i feel that said student enjoys doing the same activities and not being singled out.
I agree, Ambermi, that differentiation and modification make it possible for the student to stay in the classroom with much better results than always doing pull-out.
Inclusion to me means that the student will be in the classroom with their class mates and will get to participate in the activities and lesson's just like every body else. Inclusion is good for the student because it's good for the student to participate with the same lesson so they wouldn't miss out on the lessons or any activity the class is doing. How was it difrent from what the text's definition, well it wasn't really diffrent from the txt because i really felt the same about inclusion when i read about it.
I also did to but I think that there is ways to involve everyone so no one feels left out and working together as groups with them involved also helps a lot to
Inclusion means to me, that the student is in the classroom and involved or included in socialization as well as academics. Not feeling left out just because they have a different way and different rate of learning. To be included in the overall school experience. The text defines it as providing necessary supports and services so children with disabilities can participate with the general education population in school, community and recreation. My ideas of inclusion didn't include community and recreation, only because i hadn't even thought about those parts of the student life.
Students in high school, especially need inclusion in the community and recreation. It warms my heart when I see a significant special education student at the football or basketball game or included in the music concert or homecoming parade. Kids are kids and need all of these experiences. As a parent, that's all you really ever want is for your kid to have a regular experience in school.
Inclusion to me is trying to involve everyone as much as possible where I para at even the teachers work with the students that we have in class on answering questions and be involved with the work to make it even no mater if have disability or a normal kid

ReplyDeleteSocial Inclusion is a good thing so the students wouldn't feel secluded from the other students and the diffrent activities they do in class.

ReplyDeleteCarly, I agree with you and my idea of inclusion pretty much matches what the text has.
