Inclusive education; involvement of parents and communities in preparing CWSN...ajay maini
Inclusive education aims to ensure that all children, including Children With Special Needs (CWSN), have the opportunity to receive quality education in regular schools. Involving parents and the community is crucial for the success of inclusive education. Here are some ways to do so:
Parental Involvement: Encourage parents of CWSN to actively participate in their child's education. This can include attending meetings, discussing their child's specific needs with teachers, and providing support at home.
Community Awareness: Raise awareness in the community about the importance of inclusive education. This can be done through workshops, seminars, and outreach programs.
Support Groups: Create support groups for parents of CWSN where they can share experiences and advice, helping each other navigate the challenges of inclusive education.
Training and Capacity Building: Offer training programs for parents and community members to equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to support CWSN effectively.
Collaborative Planning: Involve parents and community members in the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) process for CWSN. Their insights can be invaluable in tailoring educational strategies.
Resource Mobilization: Engage the community in fundraising and resource mobilization efforts to provide necessary materials and infrastructure for inclusive education.
Advocacy: Encourage parents and community members to advocate for policy changes and increased support for inclusive education at the local and national levels.
Celebrating Diversity: Promote a culture of acceptance and celebration of diversity within the school and community to reduce stigma and discrimination.
Involving parents and the community in preparing CWSN for schools fosters a supportive and inclusive environment that benefits all students and helps CWSN thrive academically and socially.

Introduction to Bonner High-Impact Initiative Learning OutcomesBonner Foundation
Introduction to Bonner High-Impact Initiative Learning Outcomes, used at the High-Impact Institute Summer 2013; introduces key learning outcomes, as adapted from rubrics for civic engagement, integrative learning, and creative thinking, that may provide a set of shared student learning outcomes for high-impact projects connected to community engagement.
National Trends Affecting Community Engagement and PlanningBonner Foundation
As part of our strategic planning with Maryville College, we will discuss how some current national trends affecting higher education, nonprofits, and community engagement are affecting the local landscape and direction.
Studies indicate that community-engaged learning strategies are a promising best
practice for student retention and success. The nationally recognized Institute for
Community Engagement and Scholarship (ICES) will invite participants to inventory active
learning strategies on their campus and visualize ways to more fully develop those
opportunities for students’ success.

Learning Communities: A High Impact Practice Transcending the Traditional Cla...afacct
Faculty from the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC), who have a variety of experiences in teaching Learning Communities, presented what they learned. Two or more classes across disciplines are paired, and a group of students enroll in the paired classes. Professors Miller, Pucino, Jones, and Scott shared the integrated approach typical in learning communities with specific suggestions of strategies related to strengthening collaboration, critical thinking, and reflection through classroom activities, online assignments, Intercultural Dialogues, and service-learning. In addition, they discussed how pairing the college’s required course titled Academic Development: Transitioning to College with other courses such as English Composition, ESOL, and Academic Literacy in a Learning Community format had positive influences on student success. Topics included the importance of High Impact Practices (HIPs), such as service-learning and collaborative assignments, to advance student learning and success both within and beyond the classroom; a description of CCBC’s Learning Community Program; the benefits, for both students and faculty, of participating in a Learning Community; ideas for approaches and activities beyond the traditional classroom that can strengthen student learning; and strategies for how to increase critical thinking and/or collaboration in the classroom.

spirit of service that will
give a college a place in the
annals of the nation.”
-Woodrow Wilson, 1902

presidents for their help in
“inspiring an ethic of

9. What are we trying to accomplish?
“As a pedagogy, service-learning is education
that is grounded in experience as a basis for
learning and on the centrality and
intentionality of reflection designed to enable
learning to occur.”
(Jacoby, 1996, p. 9)

12. “Although one may enter the cycle at any point, a
person engaged in service learning often begins with
concrete service experience and then embarks on a
period of reflection on that experience.”
(Jacoby, 1996, p. 9)
Concrete Experience
13. “Reflection stimulates the learner to integrate
observations and implications with existing knowledge
and to formulate concepts and questions to deepen the
learner’s understanding of the world and the root causes
of the need for service.”
(Jacoby, 1996, p. 10)
Reflection on the Experience
& Conceptualization
14. “The learner tests concepts in different situations. This
experimentation leads the learner to begin the cycle
again and again”
(Jacoby, 1996, p. 10)
Active Experimentation
15.
16. Principles of Good Practice
1. Academic credit is for learning, not service
2. Do not compromise academic rigor
3. Set learning goals for students
4. Establish criteria for the selection of community service placements
5. Provide educationally-sound mechanisms to harvest the community learning
6. Provide support for students to learn how to harvest the community learning
7. Minimize the distinction between the student’s community learning role and the
classroom learning role
8. Rethink the faculty instruction role
9. Be prepared for uncertainty and variation in student learning outcomes
10. Maximize the community responsibility orientation of the course
Jeffrey Howard in Paxis I (1993)
17. Ways to Integrate Service Learning into Curricula
One-time group service projects:
○ Entire class is involved in a one-time service project
○ Arrangements for service projects can be made prior to the semester
○ This model affords the opportunity for faculty and peer interaction
because a common service experience is shared
Option within a course:
○ Students have the option to become involved in the community-based
project
○ A portion of the normal coursework is substituted by the community-
based component (For example, a traditional research paper or group
project can be replaced with an experiential research paper or
personal journal that documents learning from the service experience)
18. Ways to Integrate Service Learning into Curricula
Action research projects:
○ Involves students in research within the community
○ The results of the research are communicated to the agency so that it
can be used to address community needs
○ Action research and participatory action research take a significant
amount of time
○ Can support the ongoing research of faculty
Disciplinary capstone projects:
○ Builds upon students’ cumulative knowledge in a specific discipline and
demonstrates the integration of that knowledge with real life issues
○ Students can explore ways their disciplinary expertise and
competencies translate into addressing community needs
20. The Purpose of Service-Learning Trip to Haiti
While in Haiti (experiential learning) students will engage in
volunteer projects and experiences based on community
needs
Utilizing a social justice lens, prepare Buffalo State students
for participation in an increasingly global society by learning
the cultural norms, needs and values of Borgne
Students will learn historical cultural, economic, political, and
spiritual aspects of Haiti. In partnership with the nonprofit
organization Haitian Outreach Pwoje Espwa (www.hopehaiti.
org)
21. Intended Outcomes of the
Service-Learning Trip to Haiti
Demonstrate enhanced civic responsibility through relationship
created in the community of Borgne
Have a daily log/blog/journal of reflections regarding traveling,
meeting and working with a culture and population that is different
from their own
Have acquired practical experience in international travel and cross
cultural communication that can be applied on a local and global
level
