Explain how you would handle this situation in your current or future classroom
Question Description
Are you included?
Personal Analysis
Supporters of full
inclusion assert that all students, regardless of language or intellectual
ability, should be educated within the same classroom environment where the
curriculum is adapted to meet everyone’s needs. Advocates for this model
believe it most closely resembles the ‘real world’ where society is fully
integrated professionally and personally and that all students deserve an equal
opportunity to be provided access to the core curricula. Those who oppose full
inclusion feel it is academically and financially unrealistic for schools to
provide an appropriate education experience with such a diverse population in
one classroom setting, where forcing all students to conform to one teaching
model is more exclusionary than providing various education service models
(e.g., resource, pull-out, self-contained).
Your focus:
Imagine you are a 5th grade teacher in a full inclusion model classroom with 28
students. The class is being co-taught by you and a special education teacher.
Three students are ELL, five have an IEP for various mild/ moderate disabilities,
including two students who
have been identified as having an emotional/behavioral disability.
Madison B. is one of your non ELL, non-disabled students. Madison’s mom, Mrs. B
is a concerned parent and indicates that Maddy comes home complaining about
boredom; there are too many other kids in the class and Maddy has to wait a
long time to get help.
Part
1:
Explain in a detailed one- to two-paragraph response how will you address Mrs.
B’s concerns and help her feel that you and your classroom is a good fit for
Maddy? Consider how you will handle this concern to make the class support
Maddy’s needs. What will you tell the mom and what will you do differently in
the classroom for Maddy? How will you continue to support the needs of the
other students at the same time?
Be mindful that most principals expect the teacher(s) to differentiate the
instruction in order for all students to benefit from the instruction.
Part
2:
In a separate paragraph, explain your view of full inclusion in this kind of a
situation.
Part
3:
