Extractions: This article was updated November 5, 2001 Inclusion remains a controversial concept in education because it relates to educational and social values, as well as to our sense of individual worth. Any discussion about inclusion should address several important questions: There are advocates on both sides of the issue. James Kauffman of the University of Virginia views inclusion as a policy driven by an unrealistic expectation that money will be saved. Furthermore, he argues that trying to force all students into the inclusion mold is just as coercive and discriminatory as trying to force all students into the mold of a special education class or residential institution. At the other end of the spectrum are those who believe that all students belong in the regular education classroom, and that "good" teachers are those who can meet the needs of all the students, regardless of what those needs may be.

Extractions: In 1994, along with her kindergarten classmates at Pleasant Ridge Elementary School in Charlestown, Indiana, six-year-old Amber Miller listened to "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." Then they looked at pictures of things that start with b , like bear and bowl. When the students joined in a rousing rendition of "The Wheels on the Bus," Amber rocked back and forth, a wide smile on her face. "There's no question that she loves being here," commented Connie Rhodes, her teacher. Amber, who is now in first grade, is like her classmates in many ways. However, there is something fundamentally different about her: She has cerebral palsy. Amber is considered mildly mentally handicapped, and it took a while for kids and teachers to understand the sounds she makes. She cannot walk and has trouble holding her head and upper body erect; a full-time aide carries Amber from her wheelchair to different areas of the classroom so that she is able to participate in various activities. Throughout the day, specialists come in to exercise Amber's muscles and improve her grip and neck control. A speech therapist helps her to speak more clearly. And Amber is thriving. "She's made more progress than I ever dreamed possible," says her mother, Sarah Miller. "Every day she comes home singing and smiling. It's a miracle."

Extractions: Community Consolidated School District 146 offers a variety of programs to its students. Below you will find information about the programs offered through Special Services , and about our ORE and Band programs. Special Services Programs All disabled students between the ages of 3 and 15 who are the responsibility of School District 146 enjoy the rights and privileges equal to those of all other students in our district. It is the district's primary goal to help all students become contributing members of society, working and interacting together in an inclusionary process. While the district recognizes that there may be some students whose disabilities require that their needs be met outside of the district's schools, the district attempts to include disabled students, to the fullest extent possible, in the educational environment they would be in if they had no disability. This practice is referred to as "inclusion". However, inclusion is a philosophy, not a program. Each disabled student has an individualized educational program (IEP), designed to meet his or her individual needs. A full continuum of programs, support and services are available to meet each student's individual needs. The district also works with other agencies to ensure that all disabled students' needs are met.

Among the things that make Bryant different is he's profoundly deaf and he doesn't realize that $1 isn't enough to rent a video game or a movie. For the past two years, Bryant has been caught in the middle of a battle between his mother, Tammy Winget, and Richmond Community Schools about the quality of his education. "I appreciate everything Richmond has done for my son with an interpreter but it isn't working anymore," Winget said. "It almost feels like a tug-of-war over your own child."
What Are Charter Schools? academic standards developed by the indiana Department of testing, and 95 percentoffered special education. fill particular niches for disabled students, such http://www.optionsined.org/what.htm
Extractions: Options Charter School What are Charter Schools? Charter schools are independent public schools, designed and operated by educators, parents, and community leaders. They are sponsored by designated local or state educational organizations that monitor their quality. Because they are free of traditional bureaucratic red-tape, charter schools typically focus on new and innovative approaches to teaching and management, specifically tailored to educational and community needs. The "charter" establishing each school is a performance contract. Therefore, charter schools must uphold the highest standards. Goals: Accountability: Charter schools are held accountable for how well they educate children based upon the guidelines established in their charters. If they fail to meet their goals, whether fiscal, operational, or educational, they are closed. Choice: Students choose to attend and teachers choose to teach at charter schools. This provides the charter school operators with an incentive to provide students and parents with the best educational environment. In addition, charter schools force regular public schools to provide equal or better services in order to retain students. Flexibility: Each charter school is unique. They may be designed to best meet the needs of each state, each community, and each child.
