Inclusive education means all students are accepted members of their school community, where students with disabilities have equal access to and successfully engage in the same educational environment with the same learning opportunities as their non-disabled peers.
Guiding Principles for Determining Staffing in Inclusive Schools
Guiding Principles for Determining Staffing in Inclusive Schools
- Staffing and scheduling decisions are based solely on the needs of individual students through an objective, student-centered process.
- Staffing decisions are not made on the basis of labels, places or available services.
- Schedules are flexible as students move in and out of the school and as individual students’ needs change over time.
- A single staffing model, such as collaborative teaching (co-teaching) is not synonymous with inclusion. Several different staffing models will be needed in order to personalize support decisions for each individual student.
- Special education teachers recognize that they may serve multiple roles throughout the day on the basis of student needs.
