- What is inclusion?
Inclusion is letting all school age people have the same experience in the general
education classroom by providing support inside the class instead of pulling them outside
of the class for differentiated instruction. It is something that all students deserve, it is not
something that is earned. It shows all students that they are a valued part of the school
and that they have a place in the classroom.
