What is an Inclusion Classroom?
Looking in, an inclusion classroom may look exactly like a regular education classroom.
But there are some significant differences. Typically the inclusion classroom has two
teachers, a regular education teacher and a special education teacher who co teach.
Some inclusion classrooms will have a regular education teacher and a special education
assistant. The students consist of regular education students and special education
students who are taught together. At times, the classroom will break into groups for
small group instruction and other times they are taught together. Students do not know
which ones have an IEP and which ones do not. The teachers in the classroom help any
student who needs help. The special education case manager ensures that the IEP is
being followed and the special education students are meeting their goals.
