Creating Inclusive Schools FOR ALL STUDENTS
The Education Digest
-
Ann Arbor
Schools become inclusive for various reasons - the legislative mandate of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, pressures to meet adequate yearly progress, advocacy from families, and the vision of school leaders. Theoharis added, "All kids, and I mean all kids - kids with significant disabilities, kids with autism, kids with serious behavior issues, kids with learning disabilities, kids in wheelchairs, kids who were high flyers, kids who were learning English - each and every child needed to be an essential member of the classroom and school community." In Madison, district policy states that all students should attend the schools they would attend regardless of disability, all students should be placed in general education classrooms with attention to natural proportions, and special education teachers are no longer slotted to teach students with a particular disability label, but all special education teachers serve students across the entire range of disabilities.
