What Does an Inclusive Classroom Look Like? - 0 views

Decisions are made on the basis of student needs and not on labels and places. The general education classroom at the student’s enrolled grade level is the reference point for student-specific planning. Expectations are high. Instruction is based on the curriculum standards adopted by the school or state. There is not a separate curriculum. Individualized supports are available when needed.

I like to think that effective inclusion is about names, the uniqueness of every child, and not numbers or scores. It’s about student needs, and not the labels often attached to individual students. And, effective inclusion is about the services provided rather than the places where those services are offered.

Although standards and observation checklists are helpful guides to identify inclusive classrooms, sometimes it’s easier to remember what I call the “3 R’s” of effective inclusion–respect, relationships and responsibility.
