In our district, “inclusion” refers to blended classes containing a gen ed and special ed teacher for differentiation purposes. Other classes are blended, but not “inclusion” without the additional teacher support. All students can learn and it is the teachers’ responsibility to take reasonable steps to differentiate to facilitate learning for all. The goal of a teacher is not to “teach” i.e. deliver instruction, but to facilitate learning. That is a much bigger job. “Teaching” can be “delivering content”. Our focus should be “learning”. I enjoyed your podcast. Congratulations! I totally agree with your definition of inclusion. In our district,

This is particularly important in the work I'm doing in Supportive Behaviour management with teachers and carers. There are many of us with "learning differences" that need to be taken into account so that we can succeed at our own level. I love Sir Ken Robinson's TED talk video, in particular, the story about Gillian Lynne, the choreographer and her apparent ADHD - do have a look if you haven't already. I look forward to hearing more from you in the future - have you considered submitting your podcast to iTunes and adding a subscribe button to your blog?
