My brother was given an IEP. He attended the preschool at the elementary school to gain more support. He was abled as "learning disabled". I went to several of his IEP meetings. Never given any really individualized supports. Only an additional teacher in the classroom, accommodations/modifications/taught in general education.

Montclair State has given me more experience with diversity in general. Including the social differences, ethnic, gender, and racial differences that I didn't experience in my education. being able to observe in West Orange and Newark also helped me learn on the idea of inclusive education and diversity that lies within that.

This idea is always in the back of my mind when learning new topics and approaches. The main thing in the classroom environment is to be adaptable for all students. Using opportunities for choice & student reflection and learning styles.

Last semester I was able to explore new ways in finding more inclusive teaching practices, learning more ways to incorporate changes to the entire classroom for all students. Instead of changing material or approaches for one student, do it for ALL!

ECEL 375: I loved this class. We were able to experience a class with students from an outside program/school. We were able to video chat with different individuals with disabilities who had experience with different inclusive settings.

My high school campus was an "outdoor campus" similar to college with the different buildings. It was known that the one building was specifically for the students with disabilities. This building was where their classes were held. The students in this building were in there all day except for gym, art, music, etc.

I noticed that there were certain classes that had two teachers. Also the same group of students that followed each other with the teacher from class to class.

I have been in classrooms with what I knew as "two teachers". It wasn't until 3rd grade that I was aware of the point of the second teacher. Witnessed pullout groups, accommodations/modifications and small group instruction.

As a young child I was aware of people who had disabilities. I grew up with two cousins with down syndrome. I knew that they were in attending school, but I did not know to what extent.
