inclusion class make-up
By Darlene

I teach 1st grade inclusion. Here is what we do. We try and max out our inclusion classes at 18. Each inclusion room has a general education teacher and a special education teacher. Regular classes try and max out at 21
or 23. I am the special ecucation teacher and have two inclusion rooms.
The first calssroom has 18 students. 3 are inclusion students, meaning they have academic goals on thier IEPs. 1 resource room student and a student on a 504 plan. There are also 3 students that recieve speech services.
The other classroom has 19 students. 4 are inclusion students. 5 recieve ESL daily. 1 recieves

speech and another 1 recieves OT.

I push-in to each classroom for 1 hour-1 hour and a half daily. I pull-out my inclusion and resource room student for 2 hours and 45 minutes. Pull-out decisions are made been the regular ed teacher and myself. I've just started to leave one of my inclusion students in the regular classroom all day.

This model has worked for us. The regular classrooms can have a mix of resource room students and students who recieve speech, OT, PT, and counseling and regulat students. Inclusion children have academic goals on thier IEP. Hope this helps.
