Special EducationSetting

The inclusion classroom is the preferred setting for special education students whenever possible. This special education setting is a regular education classroom with a special educator managing the individual education plan goals of the special education student. The term “inclusion” implies that the special education students are in fact included in the classroom just as a typical student would be on a daily basis.

Students who benefit from this type of special education placement include those whose disability does not majorly impact their lives. They may be able to interact appropriately with their peers and simply need some additional help with the specific areas that their disability effects.

More and more often, inclusion classrooms are co-taught by a regular education teacher and a special education teacher. The idea behind this unique teaching style is that it allows the students to have two talented teachers working together and provides the unique perspective that each student, regular and special education, require for learning.
