What is Inclusion?Inclusion means teaching students with disabilities in the same environment as their peers without disabilities.
(Hallahan, D., Kauffamsn, J. & Pullen, P.)
Kids Together, INC suggests that inclusion is more than just a placement in a classroom. It helps students feel included in participating in day to day activities as part of a community, which is a necessary life skill.

The LawIDEA advances the legal notion of providing services and education in the least restrictive environment, which includes inclusion.
Section 504 reinforces the IDEA statement of inclusion with FAPE (Free and Appropriate Public Education). If the least restrictive environment for a student with disabilities is the general classroom, then, by law, this should be their placement.
(Taylor, K.)

EffectivenessInclusion involves the general education teacher and the special education working together to teach students in the least restrictive environment.
“The difference between effective and ineffective inclusion may lie in the teacher’s beliefs about who has primary responsibility for students with special education needs.” ( Jordan, A., Schwartz, E. & McGhie-Richmond, D.)

(Lindsay, S., Proulx, M., Scott, H. & Thomson, N.)

What is Co-TeachingCo-teaching is a strategy in which a general teacher and special education teacher work together to teach all students the curriculum.
There are six methods of co-teachingOne Teach/ One Observe
One Drift/One TeachParallel TeachingStation Teaching
Alternative TeachingTeam Teaching
(Friend, M., Cook, L., Hurley-Chambertain, D. & Shamberger, C.)
![Page 12: SPED 516 Heather Stratton. Inclusion Inclusion means teaching students with disabilities in the same environment as their peers without disabilities](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102923/551b667a550346d6338b48be/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“One Teach/ One Observe student support, plausibly the least inclusive form of instruction, emerged as the most prevalent type of support provided in inclusive classrooms.” (Kilanawski-Press, L., Foote, C. & Rinaldo, V.)
How to Improve Inclusionary Practices? Boost Disability Awareness
Include Disability Games/Sports Highlight Accomplishments
Ensure Leadership Oppurtunities Present Role Models
Provide Same units for All (James, A., Kellman, M. & Leberman, L.)

Co-Teaching AdvantagesStudents with and without disabilities can learn important lessons about shared responsibilities, creative problem solving and cooperation by working together. (Carter, E., Swedeen, B. & Moss, C.)
According to Almon, S. & Feng, J., research shows that co-teaching was more effective than solo-teaching because it closes the achievement gap for students with IEP’s as compared to their peers.

Collaboration & Co-Teaching“General and special educators offer unique skill sets and perspectives in the development of collaborative plans for embedding social opportunities for students
with disabilities.”(Hart, J. & Whalon, K.)
![Page 17: SPED 516 Heather Stratton. Inclusion Inclusion means teaching students with disabilities in the same environment as their peers without disabilities](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102923/551b667a550346d6338b48be/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Collaboration & Co-TeachingGeneral Educators offer expertise in curriculum content, classroom routines, procedures and instructional activities.
Special Educators examine contexts of school and classroom settings, then determine appropriate social and behavioral supports aligning with IEP goals and objectives. (Hart, J. & Whalon, K.)
