Chapter 5 discusses the INCLUDE Strategy for effectively accommodating students with special needs in the classroom. It emphasizes the interaction between a student and the instructional environment, urging teachers to analyze classroom demands and student strengths. The strategy includes identifying classroom demands, assessing student learning needs, and using this information to brainstorm adaptations. By systematically evaluating instructional materials, methods, and grouping strategies, educators can implement effective adaptations, ensuring all students gain full access to the curriculum.

Planning Instruction by Analyzing Classroom and Student Needs Chapter 5 Including Students with Special Needs
The INCLUDE Strategy • Student performance is the result of an interaction between the student and the instructional environment • Carefully examining and analyzing students’ learning needs and the specific demands of the classroom environment, teachers can reasonably accommodate most students with special needs in the classroom.
The INCLUDE Strategy • Identify classroom demands • Note student learning strengths and needs • Check for potential areas of student success • Look for potential problem areas • Use information to brainstorm adaptations • Decide which adaptations to use • Evaluate strategy effectiveness
Step 1: Identify Classroom Demands • Classroom organization • Physical organization • Classroom routines • Classroom climate • Classroom rules and monitoring • Use of time • Classroom grouping • Whole • Small • One-to-one
Step 1: Identify Classroom • Instructional materials • Textbooks • Manipulatives and models • Computers • Assistive technology • Instructional methods • Direct instruction • Indirect instruction (inquiry learning) • Scaffolding • Independent student practice (homework) • Evaluation of student performance
Step 2: Note Student Learning Strengths and Needs • Academics • Social-emotional development • Physical development
Step 3: Check for Potential Areas of Student Success • Analyze student strengths • Success enhances self-image and motivation
Step 4: Look for Potential Problem Areas • Review learning needs within a particular instructional context and potential mismatches are identified
Step 5: Use Information to Brainstorm Adaptations • Accommodations (stays the same) • Services or supports provided to help students gain full access to class content and instruction. • Modifications (changes) • Made when the content expectations are altered and the performance outcomes expected of students change.
Step 6: Decide Which Adaptations to Implement • Select age appropriate adaptations • Select the easiest adaptations first • Select adaptations you agree with • Select adaptations with demonstrated effectiveness
Step 7: Evaluate Student Progress • Evaluate strategy effectiveness • Track through: • Grades • Observations • Analysis of student work • Portfolios • Performance assessments • Teacher, parent, student ratings
