Inclusive education means all children in the same classrooms, in the same schools. It means real learning opportunities for groups who have traditionally been excluded. But what really makes an inclusive school? In order to make this happen, schools must foster the identity, language
and culture of all learners , have high expectations of all
their learners, must be strongly values-driven and foster
these values in learners and adults, are innovative and flexible, adapt to the child or young person
rather than making them adapt
to fit the school, have strong leaders who communicate and model clear values and expectations, have good systems and processes
in place for enrolling and
welcoming learners with special
education needs and identifying
their needs and strengths. Schools must also work effectively with parents and families and the wider community.
Two important features that can be applied to my school in particular is the "soft skills" mentioned by Daniel. I have seen firsthand that positive attitude displayed by administrator, teachers, all the way down to the students themselves to a particular student who is hearing impaired. the other feature is the presence of a resource room equipped with resources and skilled resource personnel that boosts the child's self esteem and makes him feel that this school appreciates and understands his differences.
Very good submission, as change cannot only happen at the grassroots of the school but must be extended to all stakeholders of the education system.
Quite correct Sharon. Inclusive school requires efforts of all stakeholders.
