How are inclusive practices defined? List both a positive and negative outcome mentioned in the text regarding the effects of inclusion on students with learning disabilities.
What will be an ideal response?
Inclusion is about how the adults and students in any particular school think about teaching and learning for all the students who go there. Being inclusive does not mean that students never leave the general education setting. Instead, it means that consideration is given to how a student's needs can be met within the classroom context before resorting to instruction in a separate setting. Positive outcomes include improved grades, scoring at comparable or higher levels than others on achievement tests, and better school attendance. Negative outcomes include problems with reading that require some individual attention in a separate setting, and parents experience frustration and stress.
