The article appears in NEA Today and the questions and answers deal
mostly
with the effect on teachers and not students. It would be interesting
to
read an article on the same subject from a school district point of
view. I
chose this article in contrast to my readings for our group project
on
gifted children.
Questions related to the article.
1. How does the new IDEA affect the curriculum of the general education
students in the classroom?
2. If there are differences in discipline between students with disabilities
and general education students, how are these differences presented
to the
classroom.
3. Is there any additional training available to classroom teachers
to help
with the special needs of students with disabilities?
4. Conversely, are there any materials available for general education
students to help them assimilate students with disabilities into the
classroom?
5. Has there been any studies done to predict the affect on the classroom
achievement levels as a result of inclusion?
