Why School Integration Still Matters
Over the past decades, the courts have begun to walk away from integration. This post focuses on what we know about integration– and how it benefits students.
Understanding Inclusion & Integration
The Why of Inclusion
I started teaching at segregated schools, moved to segregated classrooms at integrated schools, and wound up as an inclusion teacher. I believe that my students were well taught and well served in all three settings. Yet, having taught in each environment I have also seen first hand how much it matters for students to have a general education home. I believe in inclusion. This post though is not on my beliefs– it’s on what the research says about inclusion and time in general education settings.
