Double Journal Entry #1

Inclusive education are not to words that just mean to educate all. It means that the educator, the student, and all others involved are challenged to give more effort and passion into what they are doing to make sure that EVERY child can be educated to the fullest my any means necessary. There should be NO barrier for any student with a disability or anything else that could keep the student from receiving the best education possible. This is argued that putting kids with special needs in the same classroom as other will help "stimulate the child's linguistic development."(prel.org) Also it gives the child role models to work with and be around. This could have significant advantages in developing the student to become more sociable to society. This affects students with mental health issues, physical health issues, bilingual issues, homeless students, and any other disability that was not mentioned. A couple of characteristics that a school must have to make this process work are parents as partners, problem solving teams, a sense of community, and a common vision. Each one of those are important as the other. When reading over those you can get a feel that it really takes a group effort to make it work but at the same time it does not seem unrealistic. WE ARE ONE I chose this video to show the students side of this topic. The educators are not the only ones who want this change. This is a great video that really reaches out to people and asking for others to help make this necessary change. Fischer. (Producer) (2012). We are one [Web].
