Head Start Reflection

November 10,2014
Head start Reflection I learned a lot from out class field trip to the Central ave Headstart school. One thing I thought I was very inclusive was that the school has classrooms with fifty percent special ed children and fifty percent normally developing children to especially prepare the special ed children for regular kindergarten classes. The positive aspects of this program is that they really work to help out the entire family and keep them very included. Another aspect I appreciated about this program is that they created a garden with the children and taught them to weed, water and pick the vegetables. They also got to eat what they grew in their garden. They also are very inclusive to

    Step by Step: Heather’s Story Journal Entry In this case study, Heather is regarded as an exceptional learner with Down’s syndrome that becomes socialized into a school where she engages in full inclusion as a special needs student. This impacts her comfort level as she participates in a new surrounding with other students whom are considered to be mostly nonexceptional learners, or nondisabled students. A main key learning from this documentary is the importance of interventional analysis because early intervention works together to execute preventive action in making sure Heather’s individualized needs are fulfilled, to help her adapt well and smoothly transition into this new environment. Upon further analyzation of the evaluation into the program by a multidisciplinary team with teachers applying inclusion as the specially designed instruction created for Heather includes minimal assistance provided in a least restrictive environment for her teacher to carry out a drastically modified curriculum in order for her needs to adjust to her grade level.…

    I am a witness to that statement because it helped my sons tremendously. They did not feel as if they were different and I saw an improvement in their behavior and grades. In the article by Rosalind & Joe Vargo, “inclusion prompted Ro's self-actualization, self-determination, and self-acceptance and her growing belief that there is nothing that she cannot do” (2016). Nonetheless, someone that may need special attention at schools need to also have the support of both parents or caregiver, as well as the teachers. Authors of School Inclusion and Classroom Management: Challenges and Possibilities, R. Carneiro, M. Acqua, and P. Caramori (2016), says, “it is certain that the regular teacher, that is not used to working with target-students from special education programs, needs specialized support for the implementation of adjustments to his/her pedagogical practice” (pg. 2039). The fact is there are many students that may need special attention and care. Therefore, with inclusive classrooms these students can feel like they belong because they do. With the resilience of the student, and the support of loved ones. The supported care of teachers and staff working together it is…

    Inclusion depends on the individual child coupled with the attitude and approach of the school. It ensures that every child has access to the curriculum and participation in all school activities even if they are not in the classroom full time, they still get the same inclusive access to the curriculum as all the other children in school, no matter their ability, culture, race, religion, sex, age, disability etc.-KU 1.6…

    As teachers perform in classrooms, their collaboration with families, educators, and the community is vital to maintain stability with unity. Supporting unique lifestyles through open communication with families and children serve a definitive solution to nonjudgmental predicaments. All families and children are equally care for regardless of their circumstances. Opening children up to various lifestyles such as different lives of community helpers such as police men, fire fighters, doctors of multi-culture and mult-gender introduces children to equality. With the use of field trips to community helpers or dedicating a morning to special community speakers helps the children appreciate others and their hard work to keep us safe. A well-balanced classroom also benefits a child’s…

    In response to the comments about the Day-Away Program, I feel the one we have in our community is more than "daycare". They provide activities and fieldtrips that these individuals would otherwise never be able to participate in. Parents and families are working all too much these days and I'm sure they don't have the time or resources to provide the things that this particular center can. It's also a way for all age groups to interact with one another and to help and learn from one another. They also have the resources to point parents, families and caregivers to other services their loved ones may need..…

    James Kauffman, University of Virginia, opposes of inclusion. He defines inclusionais “a policy driven by an unrealistic expectation that money will be saved.” He feels that “trying to force all students into the inclusion mold is just as coercive and discriminatory.” No one should be forced into special education, residential institutions, or inclusion. I do agree that not all children can cope with inclusion.…

    One course of action is to try to limit or even completely get rid of the segregation between students with disabilities and those without. Currently, there are still numerous public schools around the nation that have not developed a method towards transitioning to non-segregated classroom styles for individuals with disabilities. This exclusion between students with disabilities and those without is creating a barrier that is hurting their educational development and progress towards being able to take care of themselves and interact with others. However, there are always costs and benefits that come along with proposed policy solutions. One cost for limiting the segregation amongst students is there would need to be programs put in place…

    The Inclusion Debate

    • 2827 Words
    • 12 Pages

    The “Inclusion Debate” is whether or not to mainstream special education students with students who do not need special assistance. This is a controversial claim because many believe that if these students aren’t mainstreamed with “everyone else” it might mean that all children are not valued equally; however, this is not necessarily the case. I am going to school to become a Special Education instructor and I also work as an instructional assistant in a Special Education classroom at a high school in my town. The Inclusion Debate is something that is still a heated argument and I am in favor for it for several reasons. First, it’s scientifically proven that it helps sped students reach their highest point in development. Also, if we don’t include sped students like any other student we’ll never know how far their brain can develop and how much they can actually learn. It not only helps them to interact and reach their highest educational goals but also become more socially acclimated with their peers and understand what is socially acceptable and not acceptable which assists the mainstream students become socially acclimated, for them to understand these students are just like you and I. They, sped students, have every right to earn an education and be a part of society as well.…
