The move toward higher standards in our nation's schools has raised a major dilemma for educators committed to the inclusion of students with disabilities. How can these students truly succeed in a learning environment where academic standards and formalized testing are increasing? Dorothy Kerzner Lipsky and Alan Gartner, from the National Center on Educational Restructuring and Inclusion at the City University of New York, address many of the critical issues facing educators who are supporting students with disabilities in inclusive settings. Through a dynamic and powerful presentation Drs. Lipsky and Gartner discuss:
- The Consequences of Higher Standards
- The Seven Factors of Successful Inclusion
- The Reauthorization of I.D.E.A
- The Restructuring of Our Schools
Visit schools across the country and observe first-hand how the learning needs of all students are being successfully met in general education environments. Learn how special education is a service not a location. Understand that the inclusion of students is not determined solely by where they are placed, but by their full and complete access to the same curriculum as the general education population. Whether a regular or special educator, this video is a must for pre-service and inservice training.
The viewer will:
- Learn from Drs. Dorothy Lipskey and Alan Gartner the major issues that surround the education of students with disabilities in an inclusive setting
