Book Synopsis Current Teachers' Perception on Schools' Actions to Ensure Inclusive Classroom Preparation by : Christina Errico
Download or read book Current Teachers' Perception on Schools' Actions to Ensure Inclusive Classroom Preparation written by Christina Errico. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1997, additional emphasis was placed on providing student with disabilities greater access to the general education curriculum and including those students in general education classes. Teachers beliefs, prior education, experience, influence the implementation of inclusion practices in the classroom. The problem may be that many educators view the inclusionary process as a headache rather than an opportunity, in part because many principals and teacher are not sufficiently familiar with quality inclusionary practice in the classroom. This study sought to describe current teachers' perception on their schools actions to ensure inclusive classroom preparation. A sample of convenience was used to select participants for this study. Participants of this study included 35 regular education teachers who have at least two years of experience in an inclusive classroom. The results of this study showed that teachers are aware of the professional development and training that exists in order to provide successful inclusion, yet schools and administration are not providing enough in order for teachers feel confident in implementing the inclusion model.

Book Synopsis Teachers' Knowledge, Perceptions, and Practice of Inquiry Within an Inclusive Classroom by : Maitha Binjaweer
Download or read book Teachers' Knowledge, Perceptions, and Practice of Inquiry Within an Inclusive Classroom written by Maitha Binjaweer. This book was released on 2017. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was threefold: (a) to explore teachers' knowledge and beliefs about inquiry within an inclusive classroom, (b) to determine teachers' perceptions of the influence of inquiry within their practice, (c) to examine teachers' challenges and barriers to implementing inquiry within an inclusive classroom. This in-depth case study employed interviews, observations, and focus group discussions to gather qualitative data concerning this phenomenon. The participants included three science teachers (two elementary, one middle school) and one middle school Social Studies and English Language Arts (ELA) teacher. This study took place at a private school in a suburban area in a Midwestern city in the United States. The study findings showed the complexity of understanding teachers' perceptions and how teachers' beliefs conflicted with their practice. Teachers held different views about the meaning of inquiry and most lacked a solid understanding of the process of inquiry; this could be attributed to a lack of relevant professional development during their preparation program or education. Some teachers believed that having students with different abilities and skill levels was more challenging than implementing inquiry. However, most of the teachers were unsure about what inquiry was. The science teachers expressed more substantive challenges with implementing inquiry, standards, and literacy. The results of this study suggest that educators clarify the meaning of inquiry and simplify the process of implementing it with the assistance of definitive professional development. Teacher educators need to provide a course for teaching methods that implement inquiry in conjunction with inclusive education to especially improve science education. When implementing inquiry, teachers need to recognize the importance of challenging students to think by providing critical-thinking questions in a non-threatening way.
