“Learning happens when someone wants to learn, not when someone wants to teach.” – Roger Shank

 

Inclusion is such a powerful support system when implemented strategically and purposefully.  The final  inclusion level to examine is Level 4.  This is really a class within a class model.

Here are a few tips:

* IEP

* Student objectives are related to general content but are not on the same instructional level.

* Curriculum is determined by the Special Ed. teacher

* Intent is to support social skills and model grade appropriate skill with age appropriate peers

* Paraprofessional support is directly related to the student. The goal is still to fade support toward more independence

* Para professional collects data and communicates frequently with the special ed teacher

* Grading scale is related to  the student’s objectives

* Student qualifies to take the KAMM or alternate assessment

* Para professional ensures that all accommodations are carried out

* Primary focus is the tailored curriculum

Strategies:

* Graphic organizers

* Students track own data
