12 Keys To High Quality Early Childhood Inclusion
I
attended this webinar on Wednesday,February 28 . it was my first
experience with webinars, actually the experience was really interesting
but the connection was not that good, i did my best to recover
everything.
The
ideas in the webinar was really new and attractive to a teacher that
has many kinds of students in her schools, and most of them was really
excluded from the classroom at the time they should be totally included
to get every single information in the class that would benefit them,
there are many keys to attract the student in the classroom, one of it
is to build the new information on the students' prior knowledge, so
this makes the students feel safe and the information easily move to
their long term memory.
Inclusion
in Kathryn's Warl dictionary is when children in the same class feel
themselves related to the same group. being in the same group helps
students with special needs to be engaged in the classroom because they
would feel themselves one of the group in this classroom. They need to
feel belonging somewhere, they will be able then to relax and
regulate,they feel themselves part of the community.
Daily
routines, in the classroom there should be pictures for every concept
or thing that the teacher is going to talk about. They should make sure
that they have access to curriculum and materials.
The
student with disabilities should be with other students because with
time he can be part of the classroom and included with his friends which
makes teaching process easier.
" Students
with special needs; educated in regular classes do better academically
and socially than comparable students in non-inclusive settings" Baker,
Wang and Wahlberg 1994 p: 34)
The
student with disability imitate other students and learn how to be more
independent and self reliant. he learns to cope and to solve problems,
to appropriate social skills, build a positive self-concept and make new
friends.
The
child learn to accept and become comfortable with individual
differences, increase their self-esteem through helping others,
recognize strength and abilities in children who are different, explore
new ways of being a friend, and decrease fears and prejudges.
This is what she briefly said, it was really beneficial and I will take those information into consideration.
