Teach Effectively!

Over on I Speak of Dreams Liz Ditz has expressed concern about whether inclusion is appropriate for all students. Liz comments on the series of three articles about inclusion, one of which I covered here on Teach Effectively a couple of days ago. In these articles Rachel Powell Norton argues for full inclusion, meaning “Students with disabilities spend all of their time in general education, receiving supports and modifications to help them participate in the class work to the fullest extent possible.”). Liz simply wrote, “I am not sure that full inclusion is always in the best interest of the child.“
