Talk:Inclusive classroom

Opening section

It looks like this article could use an opening section that defines what exactly an inclusive classroom is rather than beginning with a section on the history of inclusion. If anyone is very familiar with the subject, please handle. I will read the article, research, and see if I can write something cohesive if someone else does not. Thanks!

Future direction of the article

Apparently, someone hastened to split off discussion on inclusive classrooms off from discussion on inclusion in education with intention of excluding the latter from the mainstream of prioritization and editing on Wikipedia. It figures.

Partly following on from that, the tag at the beginning of this article makes a good point: the article, such as it is, is written in a way that only addresses the concept of the inclusive classroom as it relates to its execution in American schools, and it doesn't even do the greatest job of that. I've checked out the websites of education ministries in some Canadian provinces and Australian States, and the special education section of the websites of education ministries in some Canadian provinces, including Alberta, don't even refer to special education as such, instead being titled "inclusive education", though to be fair, this is the case with some districts on both sides of the border. Likewise, some parochial education systems in both the United States and Canada have have established inclusive education programs; there are websites where you can get information on Catholic and Christian schools, respectively, that have established such programs in the United States and Canada in one place. That Australia does not have a formally established multiple disabilities educational disability category of any kind speaks to it's desire to emphasize inclusive education over specialization for the sake of educating students with multiple severe disabilities, if only because of the logistical and financial challenges of implementing specialized programs to cater to them. Anyway, apart from all of that, the article doesn't even differentiate between those students who need special education services, but do not need the rigor of the academic content of general education modified, and those who are included in general education classrooms and need to have special education teachers follow them into said classrooms because they do require curricular modification in order to access education. A lot of debate around inclusion in education surrounds this, and in order for the article to be serviceable, it needs to address this. Tyrekecorrea (talk) 18:28, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
