Professional development

One of the training I have done was on Gender (Boy/girl) equality. 

Both boy and girl,men and women must be treated equally, if a child cannot walk or talk properly, it doesn't mean that they are different. Also jobs are being done by both men and women eg. Construction, hairdressing. 

This is helpful because it will help our children to become better citizens of our  country.

HI, I can't help but agree with this point as well. professional development is critical to empowering school personnel with the tools needed to address the unique needs of our students. In the past, most teacher educator programs focused mostly on general education expectations and failed to include courses that sought to address the special needs of students in the classroom. As such, many teachers feel powerless to help such students even when they recognize the need to do so. Currently many teacher education programs do offer such classes, but this still need to be augmented with on-going in-service training to that ensure that teachers keep up to date with current practices in the field.

I support your post that children should not be treated unfairly because they are different, in fact they should be given all opportunities as any other child. Equal opportunities for all......definitely a must for the inclusive classroom
