Interesting factoids

Students with disabilities in inclusion settings significantly increase the range of curriculum applications that teachers are required to know and implement.

Teachers in inclusion classrooms often find themselves engaging in co-teaching arrangements.

Most evidence indicates that today's teachers are in general the best prepared and the most competent ever.

What initially may seem a serious threat often turns into a positive growth experience.

If students with disabilities are to have opportunities to reach their maximum potential and become contributing members of society, educators must provide them with equal educational opportunities, or education with their non disabled peers in the least restrictive environment.

When assisting a student who does not have self management skills, the teacher must serve as a model, actually demonstrating the skill.
