This monograph resulted from a meeting of regular and special education leaders which addressed what works for the successful inclusion of students with special needs in regular education classrooms. The monograph focuses specifically on inclusion of students with learning disabilities. After an executive summary, the paper includes a review of the current situation, an analysis of options, recommendations, and a glossary. Recommendations are framed in the form of questions to guide development of state and local strategies toward effective implementation of the least restrictive environment principles. Questions are derived from National Education Association policy and position statements and address: (1) educational environment, (2) policies and practices, (3) staff preparation/professional growth, (4) roles and responsibilities, (5) decision making, and (6) rights and responsibilities. A glossary presents definitions of 13 relevant terms including "at-risk students,""inclusive education," and "weighted formulas." (Contains 31 references.) (DB)
