There is a sense of community in which everyone belongs, is
accepted and is supported by his or her peers and other members of the school community.

There is access to necessary technology and physical modifications and
accommodations
![Page 16: What Makes Inclusion Work?. "The happiest moments my heart knows are those in which it is pouring forth its affections to a few esteemed characters."](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efa5503460f94c0b8ef/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

![Page 17: What Makes Inclusion Work?. "The happiest moments my heart knows are those in which it is pouring forth its affections to a few esteemed characters."](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efa5503460f94c0b8ef/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Teachers, on both sides, special education and regular classroom
teachers must buy into the philosophy that, if material is presented appropriately, all
children can learn. Maybe it will be at their own rate, but they can
learn.
![Page 18: What Makes Inclusion Work?. "The happiest moments my heart knows are those in which it is pouring forth its affections to a few esteemed characters."](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efa5503460f94c0b8ef/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Teachers must also be risk takers. They must be willing to risk the
way they've always done things. They must be willing to look at the same situation in a different way
and even to risk failure in order to grow, to look at obstacles as
opportunities.
![Page 19: What Makes Inclusion Work?. "The happiest moments my heart knows are those in which it is pouring forth its affections to a few esteemed characters."](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efa5503460f94c0b8ef/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
They must be willing to look at different methods of delivery,
different management systems, different room arrangements... Inclusion works when teachers
become learners.
![Page 20: What Makes Inclusion Work?. "The happiest moments my heart knows are those in which it is pouring forth its affections to a few esteemed characters."](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efa5503460f94c0b8ef/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Good inclusion teachers are open to suggestions, and they are even more open to criticism. They do not take criticism of the program personally. They learn instead to
use negative comments as opportunities to explain what they
are doing and why.
![Page 21: What Makes Inclusion Work?. "The happiest moments my heart knows are those in which it is pouring forth its affections to a few esteemed characters."](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efa5503460f94c0b8ef/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
They use criticisms to probe the mind of the
critical to find out ways they can change and deliver services in a
more efficient manner.
![Page 22: What Makes Inclusion Work?. "The happiest moments my heart knows are those in which it is pouring forth its affections to a few esteemed characters."](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efa5503460f94c0b8ef/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Inclusion works when all teachers believe and practice the idea that
they will not sacrifice the many for the few. In other words, they will not provide for the special needs of some students without looking at how that effects all children in
the classroom.
![Page 23: What Makes Inclusion Work?. "The happiest moments my heart knows are those in which it is pouring forth its affections to a few esteemed characters."](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efa5503460f94c0b8ef/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The teachers work together to make the teaming time effective for all students - even when that means the special education teacher provides services to children who are not identified as part of his or her program. Teachers look at kids first. They design programs developed for children and then fit the personnel into the program as the need exists.
![Page 24: What Makes Inclusion Work?. "The happiest moments my heart knows are those in which it is pouring forth its affections to a few esteemed characters."](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efa5503460f94c0b8ef/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Inclusion does not mean a certain number of children with special
needs in a classroom with a certain number of "regular"
children. It does not mean equal amounts of time split between two
classes, without regard to the specific needs of each child.
![Page 25: What Makes Inclusion Work?. "The happiest moments my heart knows are those in which it is pouring forth its affections to a few esteemed characters."](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efa5503460f94c0b8ef/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
It means looking at the whole picture, looking at the needs of individual children and then assigning children to classrooms based on the needs of the class, looking at teacher and learning styles to make the best matches, and looking at time in relation to need. Inclusion works when teachers are able to take the "me" out of the formula and look at the needs of the children first.
