inclusion
By Jan

I am a special education teacher and have regular certification as well. Inclusion is awful. I hate it and most teachers hate it. Does this child have and IEP? If so go to the special ed. teacher who is handling his case.
Start documenting any, any misbehavior on his account. I know your hands are full but it can save your butt when and if the time comes and something happens. Just take 15 minutes at the end of the day and write it down. Keep a journal on this child. On the weekends end type it up and send a copy to your principal. If he doesn't have an IEP it can help you get him one. To place a BD child

you have to have documentation of his harmful behavior. It will also help you remember specific events and details if you go to an IEP meeting. Many people think they can remember everything but when someone is pounding away with questions for SPECIFIC data and dates you won't be able to remember. I have been there and this child doesn't need to be. If he is included where is the inclusion support? Don't be afraid to ask.
