Inclusion is for all students.
Inclusion is for all students no matter what academic grade level they are, as long as they get some benefit.
Any teacher that loves to teach, knows that we all do not learn the same way. Teachers with a diverse classroom of students, should be able to figure out a little something to teach our kiddo's that are 2 or more years below grade level. As long as the student is getting "some benefit" in the least restrictive classroom.
Flexibility and a desire to help someone feel successful and make progress is all anyone wants.
Segregation & Discrimination is so old school and it's 2015 not the 60's!! I am so fed up with the not on grade level discussion and made up rules of the day!
