[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a 3 yo with what appear to be mild special needs and are zoned for Oakland Terrace ES in MCPS. I have seen some posts on DCUM complaining that IEP kids at this school were segregated from other children into.the same class. We do not have an IEP yet (have requested Child Find screening) but am paranoid if she gets one, this model will not work for her for a few reasons. I thought kids with IEPs should be integrated, not segregated. [/quote] They shouldn’t only be in certain classes. It is not Least Restrictive Environment. It is also not fair to the teachers.  They are basically treating them as something akin to team taught classes. It is not inclusion.  [/quote]

Yes, it is inclusion. Kids are in the general education class all day with support pushing in as determined by IEP hours. That is the LRE. I taught the inclusion class for years and loved it. I did my best teaching when I had a special education co-teacher in the room with me. [/quote]It is not inclusion if they are grouped together in one class. A classroom that has a special Ed co-teacher is a great set up, but it is not inclusion- it is team taught.  Team taught is more inclusive than other more segregated environments, but it is not full inclusion. In the set up of having the students with IEPs grouped in one or two classes, means that they are excluded from the classes with no students with IEPs.  [/quote]
