I am worried from my last post, that some people think I may not support Special Education and that could not be further from the truth. I will be the first to tell you that I cannot support every single student in my class the way they need to be supported without help. It takes a village to raise a child and it takes more than one classroom teacher to guide a student toward becoming an involved, knowledgeable citizen.
Inclusion will only work if there are supports in the classroom. In my school, we have wonderful ed techs who come into the classroom and support students during our writing class. We are a small school with limited special ed support staff so I am fortunate to also have an amazing principal, who supports several students during our math class. It cannot be done alone, but it can be done together.
