Inclusion is integrating students with special educational needs. In some cases, inclusive teaching has improved not only the students but also the teachers. By transitioning more schools to inclusive teaching, our education system can thrive as it should have long ago. The origin of inclusive education dates back to the right of children with developmental disabilities to receive an education, the first movement dating back to the 1950s. (Chaban, 2010) At that time, it was widely believed that children with developmental disabilities could not learn by forcing the parents of those children to act independently and fight for what they knew they should have. The government then neglected the responsibility of their education. Parents' knowledge of their children's learning and growth needs motivated them to start their own schools. Inclusive education should be a right and not a privilege. In my opinion, education in general is a right. We need public education. When it comes to voting, the government can make more informed decisions regarding the will of the American public, but not for children with special needs. Education is necessary for all children. Why should people with disabilities be shunned because they don't learn the same way? They need to learn something in order to have a future. I believe everyone has the right to education. It is necessary that everyone is given the same non-excluded opportunities to make their own choice. Some children have learning difficulties and behavioral problems. These children would not be able to enter school. Instead they would find themselves stuck in the same… middle of paper… without having the effective skills to identify and monitor social issues in their classrooms. However, a more positive response was reported by 57% of participants who were taught effective intervention skills. It is recommended that universities and teacher preparation programs continue to teach effective intervention skills, but because the percentage is not at the highest end of the spectrum, a reevaluation of their training may be necessary. Additionally, it is recommended that these programs reevaluate their training on identifying and monitoring inclusion class social interactions. With the growing number of students integrated into the general population, it is important that beginning and current teachers are equipped with these skills to convert more schools to inclusive teaching. It would be better for children and their education (Cook, 2007).
