LESSON 2

EXPERIENCE: Ask an early childhood educator how he/she practices inclusion in his/her classroom.
ASSESS: Are the practices of your interviewed early childhood educator in line with global and local
policies on inclusion?

If they are, why do you say so? If they are not, what do you think are the reasons for this misalignment?

-Inclusion aims to value difference, recognize and value children's rights and experiences, ensure
equitable access to resources and participation for all children, and provide opportunities for all children
to demonstrate their learning.

CHALLENGE: Justify the need for inclusive education.

Why is inclusive education important? Who should adopt this framework? Explain your answer.

- Inclusive education values diversity and the unique contributions each student brings to the classroom.
In a truly inclusive setting, every child feels safe and has a sense of belonging. Students and their parents
participate in setting learning goals and take part in decisions that affect them.

HARNESS: Define inclusive education once more.

Based on your learnings in this lesson, define inclusive education, is this definition similar to the
definition you formulated in the previous lesson (Lesson 1, Challenge)?

- Inclusive education is concerned with the education and accommodation of all children in society,
regardless of their physical, intellectual, social, or linguistic deficits. Inclusion should also include
children from disadvantaged groups, of all races and cultures as well as the gifted and the disabled.

IN A NUTSHELL: Write your reflection and conclusion. Complete the following statements:

I learned that:

- Inclusive education values diversity and the unique contributions each student brings to the

LESSON 3

EXPERIENCE: Run an informal survey on early childhood educators and check their response to inclusive
education.

Using a web-based survey software (or an actual survey form if web-based survey software is inaccessible), have at
least 10 early childhood educators answer this questionnaire.

Strongly Agree Disagree Strongly Disagree

Agree
Students with disabilities must first
be placed in SPED settings.
/
All teachers need to be trained in
inclusive education.
/
I am confident that I can be an
inclusive teacher. /
I feel that inclusive education will
increase my workload. /
If I were to be given a student with
special or additional needs, I will
meticulously plan my lessons every
day to make sure all my activities /
will fit this student's needs.
If given a chance to put up my own
school. I would put up one that is
inclusive. /

ASSESS: Of those who answered the informal survey above, do a follow-up interview with at least two who
answered mostly negatively. Find out what their pain points are. Write them below.

Are they generally against inclusive education? What about inclusive education do they not agree with?

- teachers can often find these models in inclusive classrooms. Here, nondisabled students can help students with
disabilities become comfortable communicating their needs and interacting with others in a way that's socially and
emotionally appropriate. Inclusive classrooms also foster an environment in which differences are acknowledged
and respected, and special and general education teachers plan for the success of all students.

CHALLENGE: Convince nonbelievers of inclusive education that inclusion is still the best direction to take.

Make a mind map or concept map to help organize your thoughts.

I realized that…

-to provide all students with the most appropriate learning environments and opportunities for
them to best achieve their potential. All children can learn and reach their full potential given
opportunity, effective teaching, and appropriate resources.

I think there is a need to…

-all students to feel accepted, respected, and valued for who they are. This education approach
helps create a more positive and inclusive school climate.

Lesson 6:

EXPERIENCE: Observe any class in the early childhood level with an identified student
with additional needs. Examine the school's and the teacher's practices. Would you
consider these to be inclusive? List down barriers to inclusion that you observe here.

Use the table below to help organize your observations.

Barrier Observed Practices

Existing attitudes and
values
Lack of understanding of
disability
Lack of necessary skills to
address diverse needs of
the vulnerable sector
the teacher handled well the student with additional
needs with care and patience to be able not to worry
about the other students as well as they know if they
misbehave in the class.
The teacher is equipped with the knowledge about
understanding the need of her students since it is
students with special needs she knows how to handle if
the student.
The teacher is skillful when it comes to providing for the
need of each of her students and not leaving behind the
others.

Limited resources
some of the resources are not visible inside the class
but the students are comfortable while they are learning
so there it needs improvement, especially with the
resources since it can affect the learning of the
students.

Inappropriate organization There is no inappropriate organization of systems since

of systems all students are fair when it comes to learning even
though they have an additional need.
ASSESS: List down five of the teacher's best inclusive practices below. Think about how
these practices directly affect the stakeholders
Observed Inclusive Which stakeholder directly
Practices benefits from this practice?
(student with additional
needs, classmates,
teachers, school,
community)
Providing learning needs All the students
Encouraging students All the students
Attitude All the students
Group activity All the students
Treatmen All of the stakeholders will
benefit from the practices
How does this practice
benefit the stakeholder?
the teacher can provide the
learning needs of each of her
students since she has
diverse students with
additional needs, she can
provide them with different
types of learning by doing
varied activities
It motivates the students to
learn more also to explore
their learning inside the class
it will also let the student feel
that they are included and let
them participate in the class.
Respecting, accepting, and
understanding all the
stakeholders will lead to good
collaboration inside and
outside the school.
Students will benefit here
since they can collaborate
with their classmates so that
they can learn from each
other and understand that
they are different from each
other in terms of opinions,
ideas, etc.
Treating all the stakeholders
in fair and good ways can be
beneficial for everyone since
each one of the stakeholders
is important to maintain a
good relationship with
everybody especially if it is
about education.
CHALLENGE: Help improve the school's inclusive practice by suggesting solutions and
points for improvement. Use the table below to organize your ideas.

Area Observed Barriers Solutions

Student admissions Overpopulated To have more facilities to

Accessibility to utilities and
facilities
Supports available to
students, parents, and school
personnel
accommodate all the
students since they have the
right to have an opportunity
to learn
Not Available Some of the facilities can’t
be use because of some
conflicts and don’t have
enough fund to renovate
Lack of Fund and To give enough budget to all
Resources school to provide all the
needs of the students etc.

Learner accommodations Lack of Facilities or To have more facilities to be

Overpopulated able to accommodate all the
students

HARNESS: Present your recommendations in class. Imagine you are presenting

to the school's administrators.

Encourage your classmates, assuming the "school administrator hat," to ask you
questions to enrich the discussion.

Inclusive education is significant but without enough funds, facilities, utilities, resources
can’t provide the needs of the students as well as it can affect their learning since
environment is important to be able to learn efficiently.

IN A NUTSHELL: Write your reflection and conclusion.

Complete the following statements:

I learned that:

- Barriers can affect inclusivity since it will affect the students especially in learning

I realized that:

- Other stakeholders and administrators can help to provide the lacking necessity of the
school, students and more by raising concern.

I think there is a need to:

- Act about the availability of facilities since some areas are overpopulated, they cannot
accommodate all the students
