Reflection One

Alyson,
I was reading your first reflection tonight and was particularly interested in your discussion about full inclusion at your school. I know that we were all worried about that issue at the beginning of the school year and talked a lot about how we would handle the issues that arose from full inclusion. I agree very much with what you said in your reflection paper. Some teachers seem to have a very difficult time having students with varying capabilities in their classrooms while others do not. I know you have talked in class about having a lot of students with different learning needs. In my school we have students that have varying emotional and cognitive needs and this does require some extra preparation and assistance during the day. However, as I get more comfortable in the classroom I realize that having kids with varying needs is a challenge but one that I think all of us can work with.
