How Effective Are They?
What is inclusion?
a. Including students with disabilities with other students in a
general classroom because they all have the right to learn
equally.
Inclusion Programs are programs that are planned, created,
collaborated by faculty to include students with disabilities in
general classrooms. Also, to reach unique needs for all
students.

inclusion programs are effective and some think that they are
not. Are they effective ENOUGH?
b. There are two types of arguments
c. Raise your hand if you think Inclusion Programs are Effective?
Raise your hand if you think they are not?
Article
a. We found an interesting article that explained the importance of
inclusion programs and why they are a positive factor for
schools.
b. The author of this article also mentioned the history of inclusion
programs in schools and described some of the difference Acts
that are associated with it, such as The Individuals with
Disabilities Act (IDEA) federal law that requires public schools
to provide a Free Appropriate Public Education to children with
disabilities.
Our Position
a. We both believe that Inclusion Programs ARE effective in
schools.
b. We have listed a couple reasons why (Pros) Inclusion Programs
are effective (*There are many, but we listed ones that we
thought were most important for students with and without
disabilities*).
Introduce Video
a. This video talks about an eight-year-old boy who has Down
syndrome and who is benefiting from the Inclusion Program in
his school.
Cons of Inclusion Programs
a. While there are many pros to inclusion programs, there are also
a lot of cons as well.
Our Plan of Action
a. We created a small idea of what we thought a goo plan of action
would be for creating inclusion programs and keeping them in
schools.
b. Proper understanding of diversity and disabilities in
general.
Explain Picture
a. I am a visual person and thought that this would be beneficial
interesting.

b. We need to teach students accepting and teachers themselves

need to always be accepting of students.
i. There are many diverse classrooms that we have had
experiences with.
ii. I included these pictures because I thought diversity has a
relation with inclusion in the sense that we are all
different, but equal.
iii. Cut- out pictures I found: (first one is already connected,
second one has been connected). This means it is our jobs
as teachers to connect this/these hands).
