Many teachers have got an
attitude that learners with diverse needs have got lower abilities and
therefore, would even attempt to teach them at a lower level. I have seen this
taking place at my school whereby teachers test these students at a lower
level, which is essentially very unprofessional. Teacher should try their best
to help their special needs students promote the full development of all the
abilities and potential of children with disabilities to help them reach their
maximum ability and not discriminate but treat them with equality. Treating
these special needs student differently did cause a stigma to these special
needs students in that class. My principal in turn had teachers completing online
courses about inclusion and special education. These courses assisted teachers effectively
with dealing with their special needs students in their classrooms because they
were made aware of situations and how they can be dealt with successfully.
