Inclusive education focuses on adjusting learning environments to accommodate students with disabilities while promoting their integration into mainstream education. It emphasizes a supportive and diverse classroom that benefits the academic, emotional, and social development of all learners. This approach involves collaboration between general and special education teachers to ensure every student is respected and receives the necessary support.

full parental and community support for his/her
education without any discrimination of any kind.

8. IMPORTANCE of INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
A welcoming and diverse
educational environment can
massively improve the well being of
students. But what makes inclusive
education so important?

9. IMPORTANCE of INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
• An inclusive classroom ensures all students
are treated respectfully and have access to
general education and technology.
• Inclusive teaching practices close the gap
between the “haves” and the “have-nots,”
and reduces the impact of prejudices in
society.

10. IMPORTANCE of INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
• Inclusive classrooms provide many
benefits for students’ academic,
emotional, and social development.

11. IMPORTANCE of INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
 In an inclusive classroom, general
education teachers and special
education teachers work together to
meet the needs of all students.

12. IMPORTANCE of INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
 This is key. As Carl A. Cohn, EdD,
executive director of the California
Collaborative for Educational
Excellence, points out, “It’s
important … to realize that special
education students are first and
foremost general education
students.”

13. IMPORTANCE of INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
Benefits of Inclusive Classrooms
1. Tailors teaching for all learners
 All students learn differently. This is a
principle of inclusive education. In an inclusive
classroom, teachers weave in specially designed
instruction and support that can help students
make progress.

14. IMPORTANCE of INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
2. Makes differences less “different”
 Inclusive classrooms are filled with diverse
learners, each of whom has strengths and
challenges. Inclusion gives kids a way to
talk about how everyone learns in their
own way.

15. IMPORTANCE of INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
3. Provides support to all students
 In more traditional special education settings,
many kids are “pulled out” for related services
like speech therapy or for other specialized
instruction. An inclusive class often brings
speech therapists, reading specialists, and other
service providers into the classroom.

16. “Inclusion is not a strategy to help people fit into
the systems and structures which exist in our
societies; it is about transforming those systems
and structures to make it better for everyone.”
