What is the Concept of Inclusion?

Q1. 

Inclusion means allowing every student to learn in a unique environment that best suits their needs. Children have different cognitive capabilities because some require additional guidance from teachers, while others may need special education classes. However, others may only perform better in disruptive environments, such as during lunchtime. Conversely, differentiation involves the ability to assess every individual learner and modify lessons when need be. The teacher must be prepared to assist every child to succeed in their own way. Therefore, the concept here implies that every child learns the same thing differently to meet their needs.

Q2. 

I specialize in Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education. Recently, laws underwent amendments, and children with disabilities are educated differently from those without documented disadvantages. The laws have opened doors for children with disabilities to enter classrooms, and they are no longer in their own classrooms. They intermingle with other learners in the classroom and during lunchtime. For example, visits special education rooms to consult those with disabilities regarding reading and writing. In such scenarios, the child may be permitted to take tests in such classrooms and be allowed more time on timed tests, probably because they struggle to grasp some concepts. They may be slow at writing and may need help when reading. Before he was documented to have a disadvantage, he sought extra assistance from his teacher for about an hour. Although the teachers tried anything possible, he did not improve, and he barely gained; hence, the dire need to join special education for his disability.

Q3. 

I am a bit confused with the technicalities involved in inclusion. There is a lot to learn, but I am certain that I will learn the multifaceted concepts throughout the course.
