Educational Challenges

For inclusion to be effective as intended, beginning teachers should make preparations by getting to know their students beforehand -- by going over the list of the those who will be in their class, knowing something about their backgrounds, and devising ways in which topics that will be taught can be used to incorporate the various students by relating something about it to their individual experiences. In an inclusive classroom, students with disabilities or special needs learn alongside those students who are without disability.
