Welcome to Our Blog!!!!

We are currently juniors and seniors at Elizabethtown College. We are majoring in Elementary Education with a concentration in Special Education. This blog focuses on the topic of inclusion in a school environment. Inclusion means that all students will be served in a regular classroom/program full time, regardless of the severity of their disability/special needs. In this blog we will discuss the pros and cons of inclusion through videos, articles, interviews, and polls. We look forward to hearing the opinions of our members and sharing our personal thoughts on inclusion.

Interview Five (High School Student)

Interview: High school student

Question: What are your feelings on inclusion?

Answer: I think inclusion is a good thing. I am in both a learning support class and a general education class. I like being included in the general education class, but I don’t think I would be able to participate and understand the material without my learning support class. Mrs. A is really good about teaching us the things we will apply in general education. I feel like I’m ahead of the other students since we do a lot of the work we will do during general education English during learning support English. I like this because I know what to expect. I don’t mind my learning support class, but I definitely like being in general education classes too. It’s also nice to have that class with my friends.

    I think that it is interesting to hear a student's perspective on inclusion. They seem to really find having both learning support and general Ed classes helpful and supportive! Makes me think about inclusion a little differently.
