Inclusion Initiative, New York City The Inclusion Initiative (formerly called the Early Childhood Initiative) in New York City is an early childhood and elementary program that combines general education students and children with special needs in the same classroom. Funded by New Visions for Public Schools , the program emphasizes team teaching of special education and general education teachers, heterogeneous mixing of students, developmentally appropriate practice, authentic assessment, parent and family involvement in children's learning, and professional development. In addition to combining early childhood education and special education, some of the classrooms taking part in the initiative also are bilingual. The overall goal of the program, according to Rodriguez (1997), is "to create child-centered learning environments that encourage early school successes for all students and to eliminate tracking that occurs as children with diverse strengths and needs progress through the city school system" (p. 1). She adds that the program model includes "not only the full range of general education studentsfrom struggling to excelling studentsbut also students with a wide range of special education designationsfrom mild to severe" (p. 2). The special-needs students are fully integrated into the classroom with its challenging curriculum and high standards. In each classroom, the use of team teaching (a general education teacher and a special education teacher), a classroom assistant or paraprofessional, and smaller class size allows the teachers to provide individualized attention to each student.

"Special Education, Personnel Needs, and Teacher Education Reform A Policy Statement January 2001 Introduction Serving children with disabilities in the manner prescribed in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) 1997with maximum feasible involvement in the regular curriculum, participation with peers without disabilities, participation in district and state assessment programs, and adaptations of instruction and assessment required for student success- -makes significant demands on PreK-12 teachers. Teachers in general education must have the skills and dispositions to include children with disabilities in their classrooms and to implement necessary adaptations; qualified special education teachers must be available in sufficient numbers to provide both direct services to children and assistance to other educators. Attention must be given to both of these issues. There are not enough qualified special educators, and consequently many children with disabilities progress through school without the help that could make them successful. Teachers in general education are not always sufficiently prepared for the challenges of including children with disabilities in their classrooms, again reducing these children's chances for success. The dual issues of teacher supply and high quality preparation influence the development of teacher education programs. Because teacher education is increasingly a matter of public policy, these issues frame important policy challenges that join the interests of those working to reform teacher education and those concerned with implementation of IDEA 1997.

NYU’S STEINHARDT SCHOOL OF EDUCATION GIVES YOU POWERFUL TOOLS TO REALIZE YOUR CAREER ASPIRATIONS – THE TEACHER WHO CHANGES LIVES. Program Description: The Dual-Certification Masters program in Early Childhood Education and Special Education: Early Childhood is open to participants who have a bachelor's degree but who are not yet certified to teach. Upon successful completion of the program, participants will be eligible for New York State certification in both general and special education at the early childhood level (Birth-Grade 2). NYU graduates understand that special education is not a place nor is it a group of students. Rather, special education refers to specialized services, or differentiated instruction or supports, provided to students with disabilities. NYU students are encouraged to view all children and their families as individuals with varying degrees of skills and untapped potential for quality lives in schools, work, and recreation in their communities. They design classroom, home and community interventions to meet the individual characteristics, needs, and visions for a valued future of each child, not limited by traditional categories of disability. Our program focuses on the value of early childhood educational experiences in all aspects of the young child's life. Our students understand that play is at the basis of learning in all spheres of development, and relationships with peers and adults are key to children's learning from their experiences. Accordingly, our graduates are prepared to work collaboratively with families, other professionals and the community organizations that represent the wide cultural variations characteristic of urban settings.
