Inclusive Classroom Practices

http://www.inclusiveclassrooms.org

I chose this site because it was the first one to come up when I searched sites in the education categories, and the title sounded interesting.

This website focuses on making classrooms more inclusive to support all types of learners to be able to participate and thrive in the classroom environment.

The site is pretty straightforward and easy to navigate. There are some interactive areas, such as the image under the inquiries menu, and some videos. One interesting one reminded me of the one that we watched a few weeks ago,

“The Teachers College Inclusive Classrooms Project (TCICP) supports research, teaching and service to create educational practices that support all students to grow and thrive in their classrooms.  Our philosophy is grounded in the understanding that all students can participate in the general education curriculum when provided with appropriate supports and services. We believe that the single-format lesson does not support the full and diverse range of learners in any given classroom, and that teachers need to develop the skills and dispositions that address each and every learner. Teachers with the skills, disposition and support to teach every learner can and will teach every learner.  As a project we strive to support teachers’ development of their own classroom practices to teach diverse learners.”
