Attitudes to Inclusion

Quite frequently we are privy to attitudes being for or against inclusive education. There are different reasons why this occur. I can recall one case where a teacher was removed from one class which she prepares for  entrance to another school  to another class where she had limited practice and I think unbeknownst  to her she kept at the same pace and used the similar strategy she would've used with the previous class.
 As a result, one particular child made a comment that this class is to high  and the teacher's method was not allowing the opportunity to learn what was being taught.
At that point I suggest the teacher should've observed and research the class she was afforded and created a space to target the needs of the children she was afforded. The particular child did in fact have an intellectual impairment.

Individualized learning requires that teachers have the attitude that learners are differently apple and hence differentiated approach in dealing with different learner.

Attitudes to inclusion

Yes, teachers must continue to observe and research on various strategies to work with children.  It is the teacher's responsibility to ensure that all children are catered for in their classroom. Children that may need extra help, the teacher should collaborate with other teachers and the child's parents to see how best she can assist the child.

Attitudes to Inclusion

Well said. I believe that every child has a right to learn so it is the job of the teacher to find a way to cater for the needs of each child in front of her. There are strategies and techniques out there. Teachers just need to research and use it. This profession is a calling. With inclusion you need to go the extra, extra mile.
