Overview of the Module on Inclusive Classrooms

Part One focuses on what constitutes a good inclusion classroom , how inclusion classrooms differ from general education classrooms, and some instructional techniques that support learning and achievement in inclusion classrooms.

Part Two focuses on the Individualized Education Plan ( IEP ), and how teachers can help to ensure that this document supports both them and their students in the classroom.   

Part Three focuses on classroom management techniques to help teachers develop an inclusion classroom that works for them and is successful.

Every student is entitled to an equal opportunity to attend school and learn from teachers' with high expectations of each student. One of the your most important roles as an educator is to create a classroom environment in which every student, regardless of ability level, is able to achieve his or her best. Inclusion classrooms bring together students of all levels of ability, from students with learning disabilities to high achieving students. The melding of general education classrooms and special education classrooms creates unique challenges for teachers, but if the mixing of these classrooms is done correctly, all students will learn and achieve more than they would have if they had remained in separate classrooms.
