loved inclusion
By Tatum

I had inclusion three times in my 9 yrs. of teaching. I taught a fifth inclusion and two 4th inclusion classes. I had the sped teacher all day. I liked teaching with a partner. We planned together, bought supplies together(great
to spilt costs that can add up), and taught lessons together some of the time. I usally started planning the whole class lessons and when we got together to plan she would plan how to modify, assist and differentiate for the ieps. Most of the time she had her iep kids and I had my reg kids but I loved how we combined everyone together for some whole group lessons and afterwards

she and I would pull smaller groups to work with. MOST days we had a blast teaching together.

Somtimes it got tough when we disagreed on how to teach a lesson, when that happened since she was in charge of all ieps she pulled her own kids and taught them her way. We talked about what would happen when we disagreed and came up with that solution together so we still remained friendly and there were no hard feelings. I can only remember one instance where we kind of argued about things. Just make sure you plan and communicate with each other because that can be inclusion's downfall.

I think you will enjoy this class. From all your posts, Susanteach you seem awesome and will adjust nicley. Let us know as the year progresses how this goes for you. I will help in any way I can.
