My Understanding
Some videos have influenced my views on inclusion. Many videos in class where special education students have been in general education classes have shown me that inclusion really works and promotes successful learning.
Resources for the Teacher
2. Embrace Universal Design- This makes the curriculum available to all students regardless of their learning styles and abilities. This approach ensures that you reach all of your students regardless of their educational abilities. There are many ways you can embrace universal design for learning.
3. Formulate a Flexible Behavioral Management Plan- Clearly communicate your expectations and goals. Create a checklist or action plan for certain students. It can have lists or short phrases what to do in certain situations. For example, how to review their work, put away supplies, where to put certain supplies, what to do for an independent task, and when they may get out of their seat. Encouraging effective peer leadership is also a great tool for behavioral management plans.
