Meaningful Inclusion for Students With Disabilities

The entire class of students I work in has some sort of disability. That is the reason that they come to this classroom throughout the day. Not all of the students struggle in the same areas. The teachers works with the class as a whole, but takes time to work with them individually if need be. Mrs. M and her teacher aid make sure that no student just sits and does nothing. The teacher makes sure her class knows what is expected of them, such as informing a student that he or she should be doing what the rest of the class is doing. A student gets congratulated for a job well done by Mrs. M if she thinks this is appropriate. Most of the students in this classroom seem to have either a learning disability, behavioral disability, or both. The teachers work to correct and mold the student's behavior each and every day. If a student seems to be lost in an assignment, the teacher gives this student extra attention. If a student is not paying attention during class, the teacher may call on them for the answer. By doing this, the teacher is doing her best to include everyone in group discussions and class work.
