The power of inclusive education | Ilene Schwartz | TEDxEastsidePrep

[@mariachurtado0510]

I loved every single thing that she said. I am going to be a teacher and I always ask myself how can I create an inclusive classroom, a space where each student feels comfortable and can create beautiful memories.

[@DejuLiu]

The power of inclusive education is active research and professional training agenda and primary interests.

[@kympurple3891]

Thank you for your valuable insight. It home for me that it is not enough just to have children of different abilities in a class together, it comes down to how you intentionaly teach children to engage with others in a positive way.

[@John-uo1qf]

Who dreams up this stuff? We are on the verge of redefining every word in the English language.

[@kellymerrill5294]

I can say that an inclusive classroom without support, which is how it's typically implemented leads to less learning for all. I want to believe it works, and I'm open to funding an educational system that supports teachers to create an inclusive classroom but how it's being rolled out is horrible.

[@janetjohnson1925]

I enjoyed your perspective on inclusion and the beginning of the video about how inclusion isn't a placement but belonging to community. Good instruction does yield good outcomes. We should always challenge ourselves to learn something new. Learning never stops!

[@hedgefundphil]

If ability doesn't determine where you get to go to school then what does? Why bother educating people?

[@abbijohnson6192]

@@hedgefundphil most children go to their school because of the location they live in, not their abilities.

I'd like to hear some instructions you mentioned

I know a kindergarten teacher who had in her class a child with equizophrenia and bipolar disorder. She went through a big deal of stress causing her to loose her first pregnancy. I am actually working in a early childhood center and we have a child with autism. This child pushes the babies and throw heavy toys to the air. I am so afraid that he can hurt the rest of the kids.

[@kellybyrne1782]

You need to be trained. I would suggest looking for online resources or ask your Director for some educational resources.

[@sherinemincel2525]

You forgot that some schools have rules that if you send invitation to one child, you HAVE to also send out to all children in the class or none.

[@nettysisters]

I don't know the details of your initial encounter, It's sad you had that experience with your son, but I'm glad his outcome was successful. I am a teacher and a grandmother of a child with high disabilty needs and I personally learnt so much from this TED talk, I could relate to everything she shared. Unfortunately, the system deals us a bad deal, a lot of time, especially when faced with disabilities. that's what we all need to help change.

[@GoldenBear2468]

I have given the details in my initial comment. Any success in his outcome has been because of people that have believed in him rather than relying on the "expertise" of so called experts like Ilene Schwartz that think of our kids as lab rats. When she chose to testify against him she was not considering him as a human being but simply as an entity with a diagnosis.

[@sanketjoshi6732]

Such innovative perspectives on inclusion were explained. It will enlighten me to get closer to the academic world.

[@arricammarques1955]

Violent behaviours are rife in education. Violation of inclusion policies.

[@sadhaka7]

Great presentation

[@patricksuralta4617]

Great talk about Inclusion! The power of inclusion is making sure everyone is supported, everyone is challenged, and everyone benefits in this great inclusive world that we have. Thank you so much, it inspires me.

[@chanodyaweerasinghe8788]

Thank you.

[@gorkemkorkmaz7001]

how can I find this schema includes membership relationship and skills ?

[@InclusiveSolutions]

Belonging - acceptance - community. So important.

[@alphapham2060]

sounds like communism.

[@Bienveillance-oo5bw]

The problem is, this video does not tackle the disabled student's ability to learn, neither the environment of the student consensus infringed upon by the student in need. A student with disabilities will have a harder time learning the material in the fashion their piers do, and it would be better for the disabled student to receive the education in the way they need it (Hence IEP). Also, if this student exhibits behavioural problems, it will disturb the learning environment of their piers, which is wrong. This can happen visa versa, for other students can equally disturb the environment of the disabled student.

[@ashniemahadew4578]

You are right especially in a poorly resourced school with little support for the child experiencing difficulties. It can be done successfully only with the right support and taking into cognizance that disability is on a continuum and many cases could require a specially adapted environment with individual care.

[@sheryllorentzen1713]

Actually, it seems as if you need to have a bit more education on how inclusion works and the benefits to all children AND lastly, how the IEP is set up wholly depends on how hard a parent advocates for the rights of their child and not accepting no for an answer. At no time should a child that has been given the opportunity, as all children who are capable of doing so are able, be denied. With that said, my child is in a general education classroom, he has down syndrome, he has support that comes in to REVIEW the instructional content he learned that day in class. I've also requested and received an aid for the classroom. NOT just for my child, i certainly don't want him to become dependent on her, but to step in if he's really struggling, but to assist the other students as well. So, he is NOT a disruption. He is loved by every classmate and THEY are learning FROM HIM.

[@omoobaarts]

@@sheryllorentzen1713 Thank you!

[@carlorivera3035]

@@sheryllorentzen1713 Amen. And inclusion is reality. It is how life is designed. There will be disruptions all the time. Anywhere. In the classroom. At work. At home. In the bus. The inclusive classroom is a guided tamed environment that must teach all kids to collaborate and even see what's deemed as disruptions into what they really are, valuable and loveable.

[@jamiemohan2049]

​@@sheryllorentzen1713she isn't talking about pupils who have difficulties but are capable and respectful. There are simply a good few pupils who are far too disabled and or autistic AND violent. It completely depends on the pupils conditions and temperment if they should be included in the classroom. Im a teacher and being inclusive of highly autistic violent pupils does NOT work at all.

[@ftenzer]

I want a law to be created and passed that explicitly states and rules that if a youngster used to disrupt classes but no longer does so, that even if he/she has all regular mainstream subject classes and a regular mainstream homeroom class, that it is illegal for the youngster’s regular mainstream homeroom teacher to refuse to give permission for him/her to go on a regular mainstream school club trip and that it is illegal for the youngster’s regular mainstream homeroom teacher to tell him/her to get the permission from a special education teacher. This is no way to reward a youngster for behaving him/herself and it causes the youngster irreversible psychological damage. Furthermore, whoever the youngster is made it clear that he/she turned over a new leaf, that he/she wants to be in the regular mainstream only, that he/she does not want anything to do with special education or any other stigmas whatsoever, and that he/she wants to be treated exactly like everybody else! This is not too much for the youngster to ask for! Please reply.

Very few people are going to tell you no you can't get in our group people just decide that they don't think they belong in the group and exclude themselves

The words may be nice but the person delivering them is disingenuous.

[@tarquinestutler]

That is the world we live in their parents exclude them by being biggest and belligerently excluding their own children everyone already has the same opportunities legitimately if your family is poor that is your problem that does not mean your family has to remain poor everyone has the same opportunities you don't get to become rich because you don't like other rich people

[@하늘하나-t8z]

Excellent.

[@tarquinestutler]

You cannot make people like you if somebody doesn't like you that's one person that's not going to be inclusive in your life or your child's life quit acting like everything should be so perfect some people just aren't going to like you

[@diegosilang4823]

Inclusivity is a concept from Orwellian. So it is only for powerful "marginalized" groups, predominatly LGBT community backed by powerful media corporations. If you are truly inclusive, you put trigger warning on every cat video for people who have Ailurophobia.
