Inclusion in the classroom

What can educators do to create environments for students with exceptionalities?

As the years go on educators have to deal more and more with a more diverse classroom. They have to accommodate many different students to the best of that student’s ability. A lot of the children that are in the classrooms need some type of extra help in order for them to get the same education that everyone else is getting. When you have your own classroom you as the educator needs to make sure that everyone is able to do work, whether there are special worksheets for some of the children all of the children should be included in every activity that goes on in the classroom.

The teachers need to make sure they have everything planned out for both students, the ones who don’t have a learning disability and for the ones that do. Most of the children that are in a regular classroom will not have a severe learning disability but their level of work they are able to do may be to a lower standard than a regular child. As the teacher you need to take that into consideration and to grade him or her based on the level of performance they are able to do.

Having students with learning disabilities within a regular classroom helps them develop their social skills and makes other children aware of what some other kids have to go with. It shows that other kids that they are the same as everyone only they may need extra help when it comes to doing some of the work.
