Double Entry Journal #1

Task 1- Define Inclusive Education and describe the kinds of students "inclusion" is meant to benefit.


Inclusive education is the practice of teaching disabled students as well as their non-disabled peers in a regular classroom setting, instead of separating them into a special classroom. Inclusion is based on the idea that every child has a right to belong and to be included in the school community

Task 2- Name 3 types of students Inclusive Education is meant to serve.
2 Characterics of Inclusive Schools.
1 Strategy that helps students become more responsible and effective in the inclusive process.

1. General Education Students
2. Special Education Students
3. Bilingual Education Students

1. Provide a school with wide support system to meet the needs of all students.
2. Promotes the values of diversity, acceptance, and belonging.


There are many strategies that can help students become more responsible and effective in an inclusive process, but one that I feel is very helpful is having a sense of community. I think it is very important for children to feel like they belong in the classroom. Each student needs to feel that if they weren't apart of the classroom that they class would not be complete.


Inclusion in the Classroom is brief description of how an inclusion classroom setting can benefit all of its students. I liked this video because the woman uses real objects in order to describe how inclusion works. She also does a great job at explaining it and breaking it down for her viewers.
