Inclusive education is when all students, regardless of any challenges they may
have, are placed in age-appropriate general education classes that are in their own
neighborhood schools to receive high-quality instruction, interventions, and supports
that enable them to meet success in the core curriculum (Bui, Quirk, Almazan, &
Valenti, 2010; Alquraini & Gut, 2012). The school and classroom operate on the
premise that students with disabilities are as fundamentally competent as students
without disabilities. Therefore, all students can be full participants in their classrooms
and in the local school community. Much of the movement is related to legislation
that students receive their education in the least restrictive environment (LRE). This
means they are with their peers without disabilities to the maximum degree possible,
with general education the placement of first choice for all students (Alquraini & Gut,
2012). Successful inclusive education happens primarily through accepting,
understanding, and attending to student differences and diversity, which can include
physical, cognitive, academic, social, and emotional. This is not to say that
students never need to spend time out of regular education classes, because
sometimes they do for a very particular purpose — for instance, for speech or
occupational therapy. But the goal is this should be the exception. The driving
principle is to make all students feel welcomed, appropriately challenged, and
supported in their efforts. It’s also critically important that the adults are supported,
too. This includes the regular education teacher and the special education teacher,
as well as all other staff and faculty who are key stakeholders — and
that also includes parents.
