Activity 1.5 What does the Wave model of intervention mean for you?

I believed that Wave model is an effective strategies to tackled the problem of being excluded in the classroom. Whatever the teacher is doing in the classroom its child centered its for everyone. It is therefore important for the teachers to studied which of the wave model will fit for the children learning needs. Wave number 1 the teacher has to prepare varieties of activities to meet all learning needs using available resources. This will increase the chance of group work and participation which include everyone. Teachers need to be committed to their work. Wave model 2 interventions on children or people who still need support with learning collaboratively practices. We do know that some children need those extra support. For example  parents ,community disability clubs etc. Wave model 3 requires specialized intervention. Strong relationship between specialist ,teachers ,special and mainstream school is very important to cater for children learning needs. These three models work together to include everyone and no more excluding.

You make a good point Senolina - the three waves have to work together. A classroom teacher can do a certain amount to include everyone, but for a child with profound difficulties, they will also benefit from specialist support. 

To me - the main point is that if a teacher takes steps to try and include a blind child for example - all children will benefit.
