Best Practices for Inclusion

: My own best practices are… no timed tests and often giving take-home tests. No memorization-based tests. Working to have required reading also available on tapes or sometime using three different levels of textbooks so better readers can read more complex work while less strong readers can be reading the same topic presented in a less reading complex way.Spelling doesn’t count. I don’t make kids copy notes from the board. I keep homework light and always do it myself first to have an idea of how long it takes an adult to do the work I assign which gives me an idea that it will take a student, particularly one with learning differences much longer.Rather than scatter these accomodations around to a few students, I find they serve the entire community of the classroom well. They help to level the playing field for the students with learning differences and do no harm to any student.The best practice of an inclusion classroom or any other is simply that… try to do no harm.Good luck with your presentation.I am a grad student at LaSalle U. in Pa. and will be doing a
: presentation on “Best practices in inclusion”. I would
: like to make this interactive, interesting, and informative. If

: Is the information and modifications created in lesson plans or
: are you so familiar with each students needs that you can modify
: instruction as you go along? Please help, I am very interested to
: see what works! Thanks.
