What are your thoughts and understanding of inclusion now that you have engaged with the unit materials? by Christine https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/mibc6f32i4js en-us 2017-07-11 11:45:39 UTC 2023-03-30 18:03:33 UTC hello@padlet.com To share very different experiences within a common space, to encourage equal participation, empathy and building of a community. https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/mibc6f32i4js/wish/179098197 2017-07-20 04:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/mibc6f32i4js/wish/179098197 A belief on equal access to basic rights regardless of one's abilities, both mental and physical eugeniachuakoh https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/mibc6f32i4js/wish/179177296  -- EK

]]> 2017-07-21 08:18:24 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/mibc6f32i4js/wish/179177296 I used to view inclusion as benefiting members in the community with additional needs. I now view inclusion as something that brings about benefits to the WHOLE community. It's not about offering sympathy to those whom we feel as 'less fortunate' -- probably an altruistic term thrown at us since young by adults and school. It's about a total mindset shift about how our world should be like and the values we should uphold. eugeniachuakoh https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/mibc6f32i4js/wish/179177336

From the prescribed text
I like that Inclusion is about us as an individual, not about the other person.  It is own own beliefs and understandings that form the basis of inclusion not the level of difference!

Even things like the physical structure of a building or the layout of a city can become obstacles to equality and equitable access for all people, and are often overlooked as normal, everyday things.

In addition, it stresses collective cooperation and meets all the students' needs. For example, having classes together provide special students with equal opportunities to learn, meanwhile, it teaches other students to respect and accept differences.

The school does not exclude students with disabling factors, but accept and includes the students in a mainstream classroom. Thus, the school community (as whole) are learning together on how to support each other's needs and learn how to treat each other equally. ]]> 2017-07-26 02:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/mibc6f32i4js/wish/179461774 In the past, my idea on inclusion is limited to special education but now it has been broadened.

I suppose that children with special needs should study in the special education school, so that these students could get the better chance to be educated. After watching these videos, I understand that inclusion education provide all the students with equality. They have the opportunity to be educated, and it also means the community accept them. https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/mibc6f32i4js/wish/180825339 2017-08-13 08:51:35 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/mibc6f32i4js/wish/180825339 Inclusive education https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/mibc6f32i4js/wish/270478625 In my point of view, every student has their own aspirations, learning needs, strengths and interests. Therefore, it is the
responsibility of schools to respond to every student and their unique characteristics, with high
expectations for achievement.

Teachers have a crucial role in inclusion and our belief system plays a large part in how we view the importance of inclusion. If we truly believe that all people are equal then we will believe in and strive for inclusion but if we believe that people with a disability don't count quite as much as the rest of us, or don't need an education as much as mainstream students do then we will never be fully inclusive.

Every student in inclusive communities can enjoy the equal and just learning environment. To  some extent, it break the boundaries between special education and general education, just like a warm embrace, which try to adjust the educational  context to let people with special needs study with other students in one context with no barriers.

I now have a more defined and  clearer understanding of where the difficulties in this progress lie, and I hope to read more about tools for how to make schools and communities more accessible.

For instance, some may be physically disables, some may be shy, and some may...... I mean all of these are just our personal differences which should not be big deals at all. We could and should embrace these and find an inclusive harmony. In this society, we are shaping someone and in return someone may be shaping us. This is how human society works.

School is not only a place where we can learn the knowledge and skills, but also receive the proper ethical and morel education. Inclusive Education is a good way to teach students we should treat people with disabilities without discriminations and we should care about them. In this way, students can be positively influenced by their teachers' behaviours, the school environment towards those disabled children. So students studying in inclusive schools will have further understanding of how to get along with disabled people.

Inclusion within the learning community has a wide range of benefits reaching far beyond the relationship between a teacher and student. Inclusive education can enlighten other students within the class and school to other peoples’ experiences and that everyone deserves the same level of respect regardless of who they are, where they come from or if they have a disability. Learning to embrace diversity through inclusion in school can have lasting impacts on inclusion within the community and workforce of tomorrow
Lauren]]> 2019-08-02 02:13:39 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/mibc6f32i4js/wish/373014773 Inclusion means everyone is respected, valued and belongs. Inclusion does not discriminate on any grounds (it is not a case of include those who "fit" or feels convenient), it is underpinned by human rights, social justice movements and an evidence base. Inclusion celebrates diversity and emphasises community and democratic participation. As Slee (2011) cited by Carrington & MacArthur states inclusion is not something that is done to a specific group it is something we must do to ourselves. I now understand inclusion is a journey not a destination. https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/mibc6f32i4js/wish/373024721 Emer ]]> 2019-08-02 03:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/mibc6f32i4js/wish/373024721 Inclusion https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/mibc6f32i4js/wish/373102020 I think overall inclusion is equal opportunity and individualization of community and learning environments so that the child or adult can engage as equally as their other peers.

It not only value adds to those with a disability but also teaches acceptance and understanding to those that are more 'able'. Although the current major focus is on inclusive education, inclusion has to stem beyond that and exist in everyday life and activities. From previously studying an inclusive topic, it has highlighted to me how the 'less abled'  especially those in a wheel chair, would struggle to complete simple tasks given the infrastructure in most buildings, schools etc. To be inclusive, we must not only adapt our thinking but also the way in which we plan for the future.

However, taking an extra step at this moment, my curiosity to understand "inclusion" with the elements mentioned during the workshop is my new challenge: values, attitudes, relationships, pedagogies, environment. For example, I start to create questions in my mind where I would like to understand what is happening with the training for teachers, how families of people with disabilities receive support. What processes do schools go through to explain inclusion cases to their students? What do families and the community think about schools that support inclusion? What are the standards for providing quality inclusive education? Who defines those standards?

I especially enjoyed watching Will support Damian and provide him with lots of positive feedback. This gave me great hope  for the future of inclusive education.

Regarding the reading for this week, this quote in particular stuck out to me: "inclusive education emphasises community and democratic participation in which teachers work together to meet the challenges of supporting the diverse needs of students." This quote resonated with me as it highlighted the importance of community involvement in addition to teacher collaboration. In order to meet the needs of all students, we must first work all together. This ensures that each child is being supported fully and treated with a specific and customised education.

But inclusion itself, in a sense beyond school, into the broader community, is more than just being given access to the materials at school. Inclusion is about ensuring people feel included, connected and valued in a community.

Including students with disabilities provides powerful opportunities to teach social connections, empathy and inclusive practices- not only with the student, but also their peers.

Of course however funding, resources and skills are a huge barrier for many schools to be able to fully and appropriately support a student with a disability.  
As a society we need to change what we do to include people with disabilities, not expect people with disabilities to impossibly change to suit how we currently do things.

As reflected in the provided readings and videos, I agree that inclusion is an ethical and political position. Choosing to be inclusive enriches the lives of children who have a disability and everyone around them. I see this in my Year 6 class everyday. The wisdom of children who have been educated in an inclusive school inspires me.

Also, for the disability children, they would not feel lonely and special in their learning environment which protect them to some extent. The most important point is proving different children a equitable education environment to study.

But after watching these examples, I realise that “inclusion” not only means acceptance but also embracement. Every student has their own unique personality.

In an inclusive classroom, instead of all students learning in the same way, it is possible to see all students as individuals and learning differently. Inclusion focuses on what students can do rather than can not do in order to find the strengths of the learner. Besides, special groups and ordinary students can learn from each other, students with disabilities are equal to normal students, and many of them have excellent intelligence and potential in a certain area. In addition, inclusion helps children with disabilities to better integrate into the community, help students feel their own value, and make it easier to adapt to their life and study.

I have realised that what I thought was 'inclusion' is actually not inclusion at all. I think there is a huge misconception regarding integration and segregation as inclusion within mainstream education. I think integration and segregation is the easy way out however inclusion within schools will not be possible without ALL included in education having a very clear understating of what inclusion is and what inclusion is not. I'm excited to continue learning and develop myself as a more inclusive educator. I have lots to share with my team already.

Although I had the understanding that inclusion was about making adjustments to content, teaching, assessments and the environment to ensure that all students are provided opportunities to grow and learning, I reflect on my own and my school's environment to find that perhaps we have been more about "integrating" students rather than "including". I now understand that there is a clear difference and is something I will think more more about as I refine my own teaching practice throughout this course.
