Abstract
Instructional practice designed to be effective in the mainstream-inclusion classroom environment must be one that is readily adaptable yet one that is sensible in its’ application in this unique and exceptional classroom setting. Although there are complications and difficulties inherent in teaching in this environment the ultimate rewards, as well as the daily ones are motivational and inspirational to the educator who strives toward excellent instructional provision. The philosophy of the educator in this type of classroom must be able to ‘tuck and roll’ if you will as they must be able to think on their feet and adapt quickly and often to the needs of the individual student. This work takes a close look at instructional and behavioral strategies, including a personal opinion on collaborative and consultative teaching and a few varying philosophies and what critics of the mainstream-inclusion environment have stated.
