rsmithIGNITE Nov 29 @ 9:11 PM EST

Q2 pretty loaded.I believe in full inclusion done correctly/supported by ALL. If theres even 1 weak link in the chain-doesn't work #Spedchat

theroguepogue Nov 29 @ 9:11 PM EST

A2 - My opinion, its a philosophy so we can't compare to service. Maximize opportunity, include everyone. #spedchat

ipagoebel Nov 29 @ 9:11 PM EST

A2: Yes! But it has to be individualized so it looks different for each S. I've seen full inclusion done well and not so much. #spedchat

whiteeducator Nov 29 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: Inclusion is all Ss feeling welcomed, valued, acknowledged, listened to, and understood. #spedchat

dnrhymer Nov 29 @ 9:12 PM EST

A2: Full inclusion gives the Ss w/ dis. a chance to prove people wrong, and gives the Ss w/o dis. a chance to help break stigmas #spedchat

ClementsMath Nov 29 @ 9:12 PM EST

Inclusion, to me, means all students are provided an education in the same classroom setting. #spedchat

#Spedchat Q3: How do school leaders set the tone and build school culture for inclusive practices with #sped students?

LisaKresky Nov 29 @ 9:13 PM EST

A2: full inclusion is only option in our board other than pullout support, whether one agrees or not #spedchat

In reply to @singoffpitch

dnrhymer Nov 29 @ 9:13 PM EST

A3: School leaders help develop mindsets of teachers and students to help everyone feel on board and included #spedchat

missgould_ Nov 29 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2: Yes. Students gain empathy from being around ppl with different life experiences. #spedchat

aboone_angie Nov 29 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2: I believe it is important to meet the Ss needs, sometimes kiddos benefit from direct instruction #spedchat

ipagoebel Nov 29 @ 9:14 PM EST

A3: School leaders must believe all Ss can learn and do so together. Must provide resources and support to all Ts. #spedchat

Mr__Poitras Nov 29 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1: Inclusion is everyone learning, but learning at their different pace. To learn and understand. #spedchat

whiteeducator Nov 29 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2: In a truly inclusive environment every1 has "special needs" because all learning styles/needs are respected & addressed. #spedchat

missgould_ Nov 29 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2: Also, differentiated instruction can benefit all students because all learners are unique! #spedchat

Lately I have noticed parents often advocate for more pull out and less inclusion. Puzzling to me. #spedchat

#Spedchat A3: School leaders are critical to inclusion success. If they don't support & believe in it (whole-heartedly), it usually fails.

A3 - Leaders need to acknowledge the irrational fears and start building community. #pd #spedchat

whiteeducator Nov 29 @ 9:16 PM EST

jconradslp Nov 29 @ 9:16 PM EST

A3: I love seeing leaders connecting supports with after school learning, sports, etc for whole school culture #spedchat

Mr__Poitras Nov 29 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2: Inclusion is important, but being able to work with each Ss individually for their needs is important. #spedchat

LisaKresky Nov 29 @ 9:17 PM EST

A3: school leaders need to be aware of student needs in the school and those on IEPs #spedchat

rsmithIGNITE Nov 29 @ 9:17 PM EST

A3 school leaders need to be onboard so every S and T has support, even when it might be challenging. I am pretty lucky #Spedchat

miss_vanaken17 Nov 29 @ 9:17 PM EST

A3: School leaders need to believe in these Ss and need to be advocates. They can make a huge difference in the S's experiences. #spedchat

I adore this, not just because of the picture. :) #spedchat

A4: socialization is a major one and learning acceptance of others #spedchat

aboone_angie Nov 29 @ 9:18 PM EST

A3: remind all Ts that all Ss should be their priority, w or w/o disabilities #spedchat

miss_vanaken17 Nov 29 @ 9:19 PM EST

I agree. It can be hard to get this done sometimes, especially in an inclusive setting. I think we need to find a good balance #spedchat

Mr__Poitras Nov 29 @ 9:17 PM EST

#Spedchat A4: Inclusion benefits are that every student learns -content, each other, about themselves, how to be successful... big stuff!

whiteeducator Nov 29 @ 9:21 PM EST

A4: Inclusion benefits every1-should be the norm/We all learn differently/We all have strengths/weaknesses/We all need support. #spedchat

theroguepogue Nov 29 @ 9:21 PM EST

A4 - Tolerance, role model skills, social skills, academic behaviors #spedchat

INISchoolsSpEd - Moderator Nov 29 @ 9:21 PM EST

#Spedchat Q5: What are the challenges to inclusionary practices for Ss?

ClementsMath Nov 29 @ 9:21 PM EST

A4: SWD benefit from inclusive practice by having access to a rigorous curriculum #spedchat

aboone_angie Nov 29 @ 9:21 PM EST

A4: access to grade level curriculum, interaction with peers, and ability to show talents #spedchat

ipagoebel Nov 29 @ 9:21 PM EST

INISchoolsSpEd - Moderator Nov 29 @ 9:23 PM EST

#Spedchat A5: Using the word “can’t” -it’s a barrier. “Shouldn’t” is about the student-"can’t" is about the system-we must move beyond this.

singoffpitch - Moderator Nov 29 @ 9:23 PM EST

#Spedchat A5: Inclusion challenges: admin, parents, students, gen ed Ts who think SpEd Ts are experts, SpEd Ts who want to be experts...

missgould_ Nov 29 @ 9:23 PM EST

A4: All students get more support and learn to celebrate differences rather than excluding others. #spedchat

rsmithIGNITE Nov 29 @ 9:24 PM EST

A5 not creating a culture where SWD are seen as "mascots" in their class or school, getting enough buy-in from other T #spedchat

LauraCope44 Nov 29 @ 9:24 PM EST

A5. I see a lot of schools stuck to their models or teachers stuck to old ways and not willing to give it the right to try #spedchat

FrazierSpecEd Nov 29 @ 9:24 PM EST

A1: This is my favorite visual for inclusion. As a special educator, I love visuals & here you see what inclusion is AND isn't. #spedchat

miss_vanaken17 Nov 29 @ 9:24 PM EST

A5: Extreme misbehavior can be distracting and disrupt learning. Also, sometimes it can be hard to give attention to all Ss. #spedchat

singoffpitch - Moderator Nov 29 @ 9:24 PM EST

I LOVE these inclusion definitions of "can't" and "shouldn't!" Perfect! #spedchat

A6: Ts can start off the year with a short lesson to show how we are all equal despite our diverse qualities #spedchat
