  2. Class Outline The Problem of Inclusion Building an Environment of Trust Synthesis Final Thoughts Presentation – Carrie Ann & Tracy Presentation – Tim & Andrew

  3. The Problem of Inclusion As we have seen, the problem with inclusion is NOT the concept (philosophy) but rather putting it into practice A Nova Scotia study (2002) indicates that for secondary teachers, the biggest issues surrounding inclusion were: (1)lack of resources; (2)lack of support; and (3)inadequate preparation

  4. Based on your experience, is the IPP a document that is strictly adhered to? • What is your reaction to school administrators and/or teachers who fail to adhere to the IPP?

  5. Building an Environment of Trust • Trust grows over time, with an ongoing assessment process whereby teachers and principals evaluate each other • For Macmillan, trust proceeds along a continuum

  6. 1)Role (trust based on legal mandate of position) • 2)Practice (trust based on predictable responses) • 3)Integrative (trust based on understood underlying principles) • 4)Correlative (trust based on mutual understanding)

  7. Synthesis • Principle I: Consistency between what a principal says and what he or she does • Principle II: Principals must advocate for the inclusion of all students • Principle III: Building an inclusive school culture takes time! • What is an inclusive school culture??

  8. Final Thoughts The movement towards an inclusive school depends to a large degree on the principal creating an inclusive school culture This is not an easy task, and will require time and commitment

  9. What is your reaction to the view that “Inclusion is a problem that cannot be resolved…[as opposed to] being based on a belief that…[it] is a challenge to be addressed.”
