but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks

as though they were great and noble.The world is moved along,

not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes,

but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.”

❧ Inclusion is not just about including children with disabilities. "It's about embracing the idea that diversity is the reality and, therefore,

each child is a unique learner.” Elizabeth Kozleski, director of the National Institute for Urban School Improvement

❧Inclusion

• Individuals w/ Disabilities Education Act (IDEA):• To the maximum extent appropriate, children with

disabilities, including children in public or private institutions or other care facilities, are educated with children who are nondisabled, and special classes, separate schooling or other removal of children with disabilities from the regular educational environment occurs only when the nature or severity of the disability is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily.

❧The Inclusion Debate

• While laws and court rulings have consistently supported the education of students within the least restrictive environment, there has not always been agreement as to what exactly that environment would look like for each child.

• There has been a great deal of debate regarding the benefits and drawbacks of inclusive, as well as, self-contained education programs.

Page 7: “I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved

❧• A belief that all children have the potential to learn

and grow.

• A dedication to seeing each child as an individual.

• The modification of curriculum and activities to include all students.

• The ability to support positive behavior in and out of the classroom.

Inclusive schools contain the following elements:

Assistive technology is often essential if students with severe and multiple disabilities are to be successfully included in general education classes. Assistive technologies enable these students to communicate effectively, access course content and participate in learning activities. As a result,

these students who are included in general education classes can experience multiple benefits: They may become more engaged in learning, spend increased time in general education classes, like school more and

improve social skills.
