In the school in which I work the following is my
opinion on the aspects of inclusive education.
Support: For teachers and students working and
learning in inclusive environments- In this area our school have provided a
workshop to assist teachers in working within an inclusive environment however it
is my opinion that more assistance and support can be provided for teachers. As
for students in the school I work, limited support is provided for children
that are in need of assistance. For example, teaching aids are supposed to be
sent to assist the disable child however this process is very lengthy and the
child may move on to another level without any assistance at all only from the
teacher.
Cultural change: Respect for diversity and
participatory learning- It is my opinion that in our school, there is respect
and appreciation for diversity and its is embraced throughout the academic
year.
Partnerships: Parents, teachers, organisations of
people with disabilities- Collaboration is very important in any school. Its my
opinion that in my school, partnerships with teachers and parents of children
with disabilities have been established. Partnerships with organizations can be
established.
Monitoring: Tracking progress on a regular basis-
Teachers monitor all progress of children with disabilities regularly.
Systems: Commitment and resources across education
ministries and throughout the school-. There is some level of commitment and
resources across education ministries and throughout the school but these can
be strengthened.
