This video will inform and inspire:
- School boards, administrators and teachers who wish to organize inclusive service learning projects in their school districts
- Civic groups and local businesses that may help fund future inclusive service learning projects
- Community organizations that can offer service opportunities to students through inclusive service learning projects
This video is designed to inspire support for service learning projects that use an inclusion model, in which special education students and regular education students work side-by-side. It is the true story of a high school student with significant disabilities who participates fully in a water quality testing project. You will learn how it feels to him to do meaningful service for his community, why his family and teachers are so impressed with the project's results, and how other students' previous aversion toward him and his disability has disappeared.
This instructional video offers help for teachers wanting to set up inclusive service learning projects. It walks you through the basic steps involved in service learning: Preparation, Action, Reflection, Recognition-with extra attention to the elements needed in an inclusive model. These include careful integration into the curriculum, connection to IEP goals, making accommodations, and alternative reflection methods. Training materials correlate with the presentation.
