What's Working: Topics in Inclusive Education.
What's Working, Fall 1994
This newsletter focuses on what works in inclusive education. A major article is "Inclusive Education: Needs of Minnesota Families--Major Findings from a 'Together We're Better' Study." This article presents findings of a statewide survey of families of children with disabilities. Findings are categorized within four areas: (1) educational placement; (2) parent satisfaction; (3) inclusion of students in general education; and (4) parent support teams. Other articles include: "Inclusive Education: Nathan's Story" (Jean Trainor); "Inclusive Communities Support Effective Conflict Resolution" (Jo Montie and Terri Vandercook); "A Problem Solving Process" (Gary Hoganson and Laura Medwetz); "Together We're Better: Resources for Inclusive School Communities" (Laura Medwetz and Mary McDevitt); "What Makes Educators Effective Facilitators of Inclusion?" (Jennifer York and others); "Why Educators Support Self-Determination for Students with Disabilities"; and "The Perfect Pumpkin: A True Story" (Chuck Palmer). Columns present ideas for classroom practices, list resources for educators and families, and list events concerned with integration. (DB)
