Inclusive Education is the process of including every student in the classroom. This inclusion is not biased by learning styles, beliefs, or attitude. Every student has an important role and part in the classroom, allowing it to be successful. Inclusive Education meets the needs of special education students, bilingual, and minority students, and all other students. Inclusive process enhances service to all students and families in the community.
Inclusive schools create a sense of community and help to develop students' critical thinking and problem solving abilities. When an atmosphere of community is created in the classroom, students respond and work together better. They are more willing to be creative and open to new experiences when there is trust, between the student and teacher, and between other students. This sense of community is vital to a successful classroom. When students engage in problem solving, they get a more realistic learning experience. Problem solving allows students to work through real-life situations related to their school work, on their own.
