Serving Up Success for Students in the Inclusive Classroom

The current trend in the education movement is inclusion. It is quickly becoming a reality in many schools across the nation. However, it is a challenge to meet the diversity of needs that students with special needs bring to the inclusive classroom.

At the 2001 Closing the Gap Conference, four ITS staff members* presented on the subject of inclusion. The presentation included a website that focused on ways to successfully serve students receiving special education services in inclusive classrooms who are working toward academic credit and standards-based benchmarks.
