ABSTRACTION
1. Focus on Diversity
Special and inclusive education acknowledges and
celebrates the diversity of learners, recognizing that students
come from different backgrounds, cultures, and abilities.
It emphasizes the importance of valuing and respecting
this diversity within educational settings.
Special and inclusive education seeks to address the
diverse learning needs of all students, including those with
disabilities, learning difficulties, or other exceptionalities. This
may involve providing individualized support,
accommodations, and specialized instruction to help students
access the curriculum and participate fully in learning
activities.
Strategies for implementation
- Get to know your students
- Maintain consistent communication
- Practice cultural sensitivity (culture, beliefs and language
concerns
- Acknowledge and respect every student (research on
students background)
- Incorporate diversity in your lesson plan
- Give students freedom and flexibility (utilizing skills)
2. Inclusive Policy and Practice (RA 10650 sec. 25)
The scope of special and inclusive education includes the
development and implementation of policies and practices
that promote inclusion in all aspects of education.
This involves creating welcoming and accessible learning
environments, as well as ensuring that all students have
equal opportunities to participate and succeed.
Special and inclusive education operates within legal and
policy frameworks that provide rights and protections for
students with disabilities and other exceptionalities. This
includes legislation such as the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in the United States, as
well as international conventions and declarations on the
rights of persons with disabilities.
3. Collaborative Partnerships
4. Systemic Change
Special and inclusive education seeks to bring about
systemic change within educational systems to address
barriers to inclusion and promote equitable access to
education for all.
-Special and inclusive education recognizes that achieving
true inclusion requires more than just making individual
accommodations; it necessitates structural changes within
educational systems. As noted by Florian and Black-
Hawkins (2011), systemic change involves "altering the
institutional arrangements and organizational cultures" of
schools to create environments that are conducive to
inclusion.
-Addressing Barriers to Inclusion: The statement highlights
the need to identify and address barriers that hinder the
participation and progress of diverse learners. According to
UNESCO (2009), these barriers may include physical,
attitudinal, and systemic factors that prevent students
with disabilities or other special needs from fully accessing
educational opportunities.
Promoting Equitable Access: Special and inclusive
education advocates for equitable access to education,
ensuring that every student can learn and thrive. As
emphasized by Avramidis and Norwich (2002), equity
involves "providing all children with the resources they
need to succeed, irrespective of their circumstances or
characteristics."
Evidence-Based Practice: Achieving systemic change
requires evidence-based practices and interventions that
have been shown to promote inclusion and improve
outcomes for diverse learners. Research by Boyle et al.
(2017) highlights the importance of implementing
evidence-based strategies, such as Universal Design
for Learning (UDL) and Positive Behavior
5. Capacity Building
The scope of special and inclusive education includes
capacity-building initiatives aimed at enhancing the
knowledge, skills, and attitudes of educators,
administrators, and other stakeholders.
This may involve professional development, training
programs, and ongoing support to enable educators
to effectively support diverse learners.
6. Evidence-Based Practice
Special and inclusive education is grounded in evidence-
based practice, drawing on research and empirical
evidence to inform decision-making and improve
outcomes for students.
It emphasizes the importance of using data and research
findings to guide interventions and strategies aimed
at promoting inclusion.
Special and inclusive education is informed by research
and evidence-based practice. It involves conducting
studies, collecting data, and sharing knowledge to inform
policy and practice, identify effective interventions, and
improve outcomes for students with diverse needs.
Value Infusion
Objective: Evaluate the impact of special and inclusive education
policies and practices on fostering positive attitudes and
acceptance towards individuals with disabilities.
APPLICATION
Objective: Demonstrate the implementation of inclusive teaching
strategies and accommodations for students with
disabilities by writing a lesson plan.
