"Inclusion in education is an approach to educating students with special educational needs." These students with special needs spend the majority of their time with non-disabled students. There is a debate however, on whether inclusion in the classroom is a benefit to all of the students in a particular classroom, or if inclusion could potentially be a way of lowering the cost of education to students with special needs. I will go through some of the Pro’s and Con’s of inclusion in the classroom to figure out where I stand on this subject.
Pro’s:
- Special needs children learn how to better interact with other students
- Individual attention is provided to students with special needs
- Children without special needs get the chance to learn more about diversity and how to accept differences in people
- To become a teacher you would need more education to teach children with special needs
- Students with special needs may not get as much out of the work as if they were working one on one with a specialist because a teacher may be moving to quickly
- Inclusion is not always a guaranteed success
In my opinion I think that inclusion is a positive idea, and even though there are some con’s to this, I feel that the positives outweigh the negatives. I think that when becoming a teacher we should take a few extra courses that specialize in working with students who have special needs. By having inclusion classrooms, this gives the students who have special needs time to be around kids without a special need, which prepares these students for the real world. I think that there should be aids at hand to be able to further explain anything that is not understood or if explained to fast by the regular teacher. Of course there are some situations where seclusion is necessary for part of the day, but even with that said I feel that inclusion in the classroom is the best idea.
