Inclusion in Schools
• Today, schools are supporting inclusive learning more and more. Inclusive learning environments are reflections of the change in teaching and learning to help all students meet academic expectations.
The following slides are strategies for fostering inclusion in the classroom.
Strategy 1
• Adapt the number of items that the learner is expected to learn or complete.
• For example: Reduce the number of social studies terms the learner must learn per unit.
Strategy 2
• Adapt the time allotted and allowed for learning, task completion, or testing.
• For Example: Individualize a timeline for completing a task; pace learning differently (increase or decrease) depending on the learner.

Strategy 3• Increase the amount of
personal assistance with a specific learner.
• For Example: Assign peer buddies, teaching assistants, peer tutors, or cross-age tutors to help students.
• This is a great method of helping students at different levels. (Partner learning)
Strategy 4
• Adapt the way instruction is delivered to the learner.
• For Example: Use different visual aides, plan more concrete examples, provide hands-on activities, place students in cooperative groups.
Strategy 5
• Adapt the extent to which a learner is actively involved in the task.
• For Example: In geography, have a student hold the globe, while others point out locations on the globe.
Strategy 6• Provide different instruction and materials to meet a
student’s individual goals.
• For Example: During a language test, one student is learning computer skills in the computer lab.
Strategy 7• Adapt how the student can respond to instruction
• For Example: Instead of answering questions in writing, allow a verbal response, allow students to show knowledge with hands-on materials.
