I work as an editor at the Women's Equity Resource Center, and we will soon be
publishing a booklet titled "Teaching Girls and Boys with Disabilities:
Inclusion in the Classroom." This booklet will be an addition to the "Equity in
Education Series", a series of four booklets on different aspects of equity in
education.
WE need direct testimony from teachers, people with disabilities, and parents of
children with disabilities about your experiences with inclusion. I would
appreciate any feedback on the following questions. Please send your feedback
directly to me at Patb@edc.org.You can also call me toll-free at 1-800-225-3088
(if Center voice mail answers at this point continue on with 0-2356-#, and you
will have my personal voice mail). If I am not in, leave a message and I will
get right back to you.
We would like to use selected quotes in the booklet (no names will be used), so
if you don't want us to use your comments, please indicate that in your
response. You may also want to provide the reader with some context by signing
your comments with an indication of what role you play, instead of your name.
For example, "Parent of a third grade child with a learning disorder."
1. What are the key elements that have made your experience with inclusion
either successful or unsuccessful (or both!)?
2. What are the largest barriers to inclusion?
3. What are the three most important things that any teacher, parent, student
should know if they are just entering the process of inclusion?
4. What has been the greatest benefit to you of inclusion?
5. Please share any other comments you would like us to consider.
Again, please contact Pat Boland <patb@edc.org> privately.
Thank You!
