Applications of Blogs to My Practice

As a special education teacher, I am very much affected by the "inclusion movement". Like it or not, our students are moving into inclusion classrooms and we are expected to go with them. Our regular education colleagues are looking to us to know how to make inclusion work. Parents are nervous about their children being successful in this setting. There are a lot of issues related to inclusion that need to be discussed and worked out. Communication between teachers, parents and administrators will be an essential component to successful inclusion experiences. Blogging is a great way to share our ideas, opinions and experiences.

As a mother of 2 teens and an elementary school girl. I can understand what you are stating. My son had the experience for a week or two of sharing the classroom with a tourrettes boy, and he kept complaining, because he could not hear what the teacher would say, because the tourrettes boy kept interrupting.
