Double Journal Entry 1

Not every child has an equal talent or an equal ability or equal motivation, but children have the equal right to develop their talent, their ability and their motivation.

- John Fitzgerald Kennedy


Task #1
Inclusive Education is simply including all within the classroom. It is a classroom where everyone is welcome no matter what kind of student you are. This classroom is an environment where a teacher wants every student to be able to learn in. This kind of classroom is meant to benefit all types of students no matter how diverese they may be and students with different types of disabilities as well such as learning or physical.

Task #2
Inclusive classrooms are meant to serve students with disabilites and special needs as well as students with different ethnic, socioeconomic, and linguistic backgrounds. All these different types of students should be able to learn within this classroom even if they cannot get the academic work completely done, this is a good environment for them socially. The inclusive classrooms have many different characteristics such as parents as partners and studentsas problem solvers. Parents should be greatly involved within their school systems and in an inclusive education some parents are full time partners with the school. Students as problem solvers means that they can be peer mediators, tutors, be involved in cooperative learning or a buddy system. Cross-age tutoring is also a great way for the older students to get involved with the younger students. An inclusive education involves everyone within the community. The students as problem solvers helps give the students more responsiblity as well. They feel a sense of pride when being able to help out other classmates or younger students.

Inclusive Picture


I am still having a little trouble with my blog but I chose the picture in the link above because I believe it showed an inclusive group of students and they are all happy which is the way a classroom should be and I hope that my classroom someday will be like!
