I am a student at Salisbury Univeristy and we are studying inclusion in one of my Education classes. However, my question dealing with inclusion is, how can a teacher accommodate children with special needs without taking instructional time away from other students? When I become a teacher I want to be able to provide equal attention to all students. Is this possible?
Re: accommodating special needs
Not to mention that many teachers seem to resent having special needs kids in their regular classroom. I have mixed feelings on the idea, I think it’s good to let them interact with other children, but it does make school that much harder for them.
No. It isn’t possible. Inclusion is a wonderful idea on paper but in many classrooms, it simply does not work. No teacher can be in two places at the same time and that is what inclusion asks of us.
